  • SCOBYs (Symbiotic Cultures of Bacteria and Yeast) could have some possible applications as fake leather but I don’t know if anyone is working on it or if it could actually be made strong enough.

    One example where we just do not have an equivalent is motorcycle gear. Yeah we have textile jackets, and I have one because where I am the risk of heat stroke in a leather jacket is more of a concern, but if you want abrasion resistance, leather is the best you can get. Can SCOBYs compete with that? I don’t know.








  • I, and most people I know, were taugh to shoot around 5 as well as being taught firearms safety around then. Also they’re typically going to eat the squirrels so it’s not just for the heck of it, but sometimes they do just need culling anyway if they’re tearing stuff up.

    🤷‍♀️ I don’t get how it’s that crazy. I’m not into tree rat but some people like it.

    You don’t just let them keep it all the time. You keep it locked up except for when they ask to see it. If you live in the absolute middle of nowhere on a large property then occasionally they may be able to go hunt squirrels/rabbits etc by themselves or target shoot at a home range but that depends on the kid.

    I grew up with plenty of people who had “their own” guns at young ages but they didn’t just keep it all the time. Also legally it’s their parents just with the understanding that once they’re old enough it’s actually theirs.
