Think of all the plastic that ends up in landfills thanks to these “disposable” razors.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

And plastic producers have known since its inception that most can't be recycled.
I'm guessing the metal in the razors could be re-used too. Probably too expensive to do it though.
Also they're technically a biohazard
I would think something like that would be relatively easy to take care of with the metal if there was a cost-effective way to recycle it because the metal would end up in a forge and I don't think any pathogens could survive that high a heat.
What's a man sized hotcake?
Knew it.
How did you have that picture just ready to go?
Kliban is one of my all-time favorite cartoonists so it was my first thought.
Poor guy is so dehydrated :( I hope his kidneys make it to 40.
I'm not even gay, but GOD DAMN!
Why don’t you come over here and find out, sailor?
I'm scaroused
Over here advertising man sized hotcakes. Now in 2024 due to shrinkflation it's more like trial size.
Maybe the just included the refill razorblades within the burgers?
Those aren't safety razors, just your normal disposable.
Aren't disposables a type of safety razor? Just one where the razor can't be replaced?
Thanks, that's what I thought.
So, when we say that's good news, did we breach copyrighted material?
Multibladed razors were new around that time, weren't they? I just remember my dad telling me about the time he first discovered Saturday Night Live in the 70's because they had a skit about, like, a 12 bladed razor blade and both SNL and the multibladed razor concept was so new he honestly thought he was seeing a real commercial since he just clicked onto the station in the middle of it.
It was, and the SNL skit was actually for a three-bladed razor. "Because you'll believe anything."

Gillette now has a five-blade razor.
This was predicted by the onion: https://theonion.com/fuck-everything-were-doing-five-blades-1819584036/
True, but it was essentially the same joke SNL did with three blades.
