I think that was the main ingredient (some ring at least) but there was definitely an -ol in it as well because I read the back.

A ban on something doesn’t blame the consumer? It simply stops one aspect of unnecessary plastic pollution which has a tiny positive effect.

Plastic bottles in Germany have a 25 cent deposit that you can earn back by returning them when they are empty. This has significantly reduced plastic pollution for plastic bottles which is a tiny but positive effect.

Certain colored plastics for plastic bottles are prohibited too because they are not recyclable. A tiny but positive step.

Once you have hundreds of such steps you have a significant positive leap. The government should ban disposable plastics altogether ideally now but every single ban is putting us a step closer to a world free from plastic.

Every file can have zero days targeting a specific application though. Sure, PDF is a bit worse than other formats in that regard but I’d say the likelihood of a zero day PDF is approximately the same as a zero day MP4 for your video player.

Alcohol - meaning Ethanol - is also used in medicine due its antimicrobial properties though. I believe the medical-grade mouthwash I used after my wisdom teeth were removed contained some ethanol, though I’m unsure because I didn’t memorize the ingredients.

Guess what German conservative media is currently parroting (again):

I mean it used to be called gummiboot. What more do you want?
