Thank god we have reusable silicone straw, safer than both one-use plastic straw and stainless steel straw.

I dunno... is that surgical-grade silicone?

[–] SantasMagicalComfort@piefed.world 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I’m not planning on doing surgery with it.

They have to put up signs begging people to not bring mate on the bus, or to vaccinations, or paperwork at government buildings.
