If you don’t want to use a real luffa made from the luffa gourd, you can use a simple cotton washcloth to scrub. They can last for decades, wash in the laundry with your towels, and biodegrade/compost after a long and useful life.

It seems a little over-the-top to be angry at physicists from 30-40 years ago for being wrong.
Scientists aren’t priests, and science isn’t a religion. Expecting scientists to always be right, always be humble, and everything they add to “science” to be sacred and correct and immutable is a little silly.
This is how science works. It’s messy. It goes in delicious looking directions that turn out to be dead ends. Humans create ideas (with all the hubris and errors of being human) that other humans test (with all the hubris and errors of being human.)
I was struck by how angered she was by physicists thinking they were right and saying “we’re doing something real”. They were doing something real: they were exploring and testing an idea. Without that work, the idea could never have been proved wrong.
(My personal “string theory” is that string/cordage is humanity’s greatest invention, and my user name is a joke.)

A lot of that going on right now.
A lot of the subs are already up and running (HydroHomies, CasualUK, Solarpunk, Guitars, 196, FuckCars, etc) under their old names, some with variations. When you search the entirety of Lemmy, give it a moment because it takes a few seconds to retrieve.
You can subscribe/unsubscribe with reckless abandon!
(And search your favorites often, there is a steady flow of new communities being created right now.)
You have a vulfpeck community! You have a bunch of cool communities, hot dog!
The “Cheap Old Houses” website is reassuring. It’s not a McMansion in the tony suburbia of a large popular city, but there are small reasonably priced houses in smaller cities and towns. https://www.cheapoldhouses.com/
I have two friends from high school who found houses under $100k within driving distance of larger cities ($60k in Kansas, $32k in Illinois)
