I don’t speak Spanish but I love the word “El sacapuntas” which sounds like a bad word but means pencil sharpener.

As always with most things in our capitalist society, it’s better for shareholders if general population injests microplastics than for them to spend money on products to prevent it. Capitalism only spends money on things that bring profit, not to make a world a better place. If while making that profit the world becomes a better place, that’s a marketing win.

The crown prince thing is the official story but the more you look into it, the harder it gets to believe said story, hence the conspiracy theories. One of the rare cases where conspiracy theories may not be outlandish.

Nepali has quite a few.

का. म. पा. (Ka ma pa) - Kathmandu Mahanagar Palika - Greater Kathmandu Metro.

मा. प. से. (Ma Pa Se) - Madak Padartha Sewan - directly translates to taking of illicit substance but is used to describe DUI

ने. बि. (Ne Bi) - Nepal Bidhyarthi - Nepal student (Association)

भु. पु. (Bhu Pu) - Bhoot Purva - Past/previous.

There are more that I’m blanking out on right now.

It’s not free. We pay using taxes. Instead of paying a middle man whose sole purpose is to make money, you have a government run service that isn’t profit driven. Is it efficient? No. Is there a better alternative? Also probably no but I haven’t heard of one. If there is one that is being used somewhere in the world and isn’t something theoretical, I would love to learn about it.
