Read the post title and rushed straight to the comments?

Or your mother’s.

Basically what’s been said. Lycopene is the pigment that is staining. It’s hydrophobic and is really good at bonding to plastics for reasons outside my understanding. Soap and abrasion will loosen it, but because it’s hydrophobic it has nowhere to go. The absorbent paper towel gives it something else to bond to.

This might change someone’s life: Instead of washing your spaghetti stained plastic container with a sponge or throwing it in the dishwasher, fill the container to maybe 30% full with hot tap water, add a couple pumps of dish soap, chuck in a paper towel, close the top, and shake. It’s honestly astonishing how effective that is.

0.1% of annual spending is minuscule.

It’s been over a decade but I swear I thought I felt one coming on when I read your comment.

Gonna be honest, I don’t even know that that is beyond the name.

They are common in wetland areas with heavy mosquito population. Encouraging an active bat population is an extremely effective way to control mosquitos. They come flying out of these bat houses at dusk and gorge themselves.

One of the largest bat houses in the country is at Spirit of Suwannee Music Park, a music festival venue in the wetlands of north Florida built right on the Suwannee River. Obviously insanely fertile ground for mosquitos, but this bat houses holds 30,000-50,000 bats which keep the mosquitos under control. It’s an insane sight, watching them all pour out of there for like 5 minutes straight right at dusk every night.

That’s some wishful thinking that humans will be around then.

Yes, it won’t work. But tobacco use in the Maldives has apparently not followed the trend of the rest of the world since the 50s. From the article:

Smoking is especially prevalent among young people, with nearly half of those ages 13 to 15 consuming some form of tobacco.

Half is insane.

If you block OP, you have basically left the community, as OP is this community. Either way, I’m fairly certain OP is posting this as in “look at how dumb this is.” It’s a science memes community.

My lamp better start looking strange soon, because I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

The New York statue, in Union Square was removed early that afternoon; the New York City Parks Department made a statement that it “stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small”.

Gold.
