  Microplastics are bad, now macroplastics are bad, I feel like you’re just very anti-plastic at this point and hard to please.

    My opinions themselves are plastic; constantly changing.

      My life is plastic; it’s fantastic.

      I think Bruce Lee said that.

  I’ve only ever seen potato “holders” made out of ABS, not PVC. Not sure that ABS is any more resistant to er- rapid unscheduled disassemblies.

    In the firework industry we use ABS in our mortars because they will stretch and rip if a firework explodes in the tube rather than shatter and turn into shrapnel.

    ABS would be better in that regard, it has a higher plasticity and less likely to fragment. But the one in the OP is PVC. ABS pipe is black.

    We used to make them out of PVC pipe from the hardware store

  I appreciate knowing this. If I’m dying from consuming high velocity plastic shrapnel, I won’t expect xrays to help.

    The word consuming is deeply unsettling in this context. More so than high velocity plastic shrapnel, which is surprising

  But PVC does melt unlike schrapnel, so there’s no problem if they set your abdomen on fire.

  Wolverine must have a cousin with a PVC bone structure out there somewhere…

  What about an MRI? Too slow maybe?
