What artificial things do you like?

[taterguy]

I know that they're 'bad' but I like techno fabrics.

If I'm spending a day kayaking on a river I want something that's lightweight enough to be comfortable in long sleeves so I have sun protection and something that dries quickly if it gets wet.

Wool, cotton and other natural fabrics just aren't as good for that as synthetics. I deliberately don't inform myself about that because they're damned comfortable.

Am I a bad person?

[Major Nikon]

1. Boobies

[taterguy]

2. Because the real ones are too damn far away?

[Major Nikon]

11. Yes, the accessibility of real boobies is part of it

I've also found the inflatable ones just aren't as good.

[Wounded Bear]

22. Fake booby!

3. Cool Whip

5. I love coco whip

It is a non dairy version. You can buy it at Whole Foods or Natural Grocers. Same texture as cool whip with the slightest hint of coconut.

13. Synthetic ink pigments

The all-natural pigments: red pigment comes from a little beetle that almost went extinct, blue pigment is made by bubbling hydrogen cyanide through a glass tube, and yellow pigment contains some combination of lead, chromium, cadmium and cobalt.

15. Coke Zero

My wife is convinced it is poison and gives me non-stop grief every time I drink one. Honestly, I think she would be more forgiving if I smoked crack.

[NJCher]

44. Let's make Don Rumsfeld rich!

snip
I have been reading up on this strange chapter in the history of Donald Rumsfeld and have learned two things. One, the chemical additive aspartame is very potentially a cancer and brain tumor-causing substance that has no place in our food. And two, the reasons and means by which Rumsfeld helped get it approved are nefarious at best, criminal at worst.
