That’s funny. It always ends up being one of the classic scams. That’s a lot of wasted time, sounds like you had a real operator. Once that gets automated it could get even worse.

I don’t think head shops marketing “galaxy gas” to kids is ok, but as far as substances go, whippits are quite benign. What’s the hysteria about?

Maybe take some audience participation. Whip out true people search dot com or another data broker, and use their name or phone number. Show them how much of their info is out there and how a stalker or malicious player could obtain a ton of info about them. Problem is then if people go “but I have nothing to hide” and that’s a deeper conversation.

Oh yes. The flour test or water bubbles. Just ordered a GE one we’ll see how it does

What does that determine when shopping?

Honestly not sure. You can buy fancy American grown cotton which I presume has slightly more stringent environmental regulations and fewer human rights violations involved in its production. Then there’s synthetics which have their own host of issues. I think you’re better off buying quality clothing that will last instead of fast fashion that you don’t keep for long.

The garments that have the least impact are definitely the thrifted ones, even if originally produced in the most polluting method possible. Used > new even if the new clothes were made from the most regeneratively grown cotton and stitched by well paid workers. Textiles contribute to 10% of global emissions, cotton is a very demanding crop and the production process itself can be quite nasty.
