    My aunt was in Africa teaching computer skills in villages when my grandma died. We got sent a package from my aunt, and it was this little sarcophagus box and a little dime bag of “material” without any note of what it was. My mom thought “oh shit, my sister sent me hashish” as she rips open the bag and spills the contents all over the kitchen table. Then stared at it for a minute before saying “oh fuck, that’s mom” and tried to gather as much of the ashes into the box before sponging the rest of grandma off the table.

    That’s why you should always go with a step up from the peanut can when purchasing an urn.

      We had a balloon with gold-circle confetti burst in our old flat about 4 years ago.

      We’re STILL finding bits of it. 4 years later. In the new flat.

        Plastic glitter is supposed to be banned in the EU now. They’re not just annoying, they are terrible for the environment.

        Why wait for your plastic shit to degrade into microplastics pollution, just mass-produce the microplastics directly with the only purpose of being scattered everywhere!

        There are some alternatives that degrade harmlessly, but they’re more expensive, and I’m sure some find loopholes because very cheap toys are still being sold with glitter scattering everywhere.

        But at least it’s somewhat regulated and way less common.
