Always makes a mess and it’s always statically charged so good luck getting rid of all the little pieces that invariably fly everywhere without a fight. Not to mention the environmental issues with it. Yup, fuck that shit.
Ugh, I always end up having to use a ball of masking tape to pick up the little bits, and I always miss a few.
I use a vacuum cleaner
OP, it’s okay, you can swear on the Internet.
It should also be noted that you are not required to swear on the internet.
Correct, you’re not required to swear on the Internet. That’s why there are a trillion other words to use if you’re not comfortable with it. “This kind of stupid packing foam.” “This kind of annoying packing foam.” “This kind of obnoxious packing foam.” If you want to say “fucking”, then you can just say “This kind of fucking packing foam.” The censorship is useless and distracting. Commit to the word you want to say or use another word; nobody’s going to punish you for swearsies here, and nobody’s going to punish you for not swearsies.
If I wanna type “f*ck” instead of “dang” I’ll do what I want
***** ****!
… hunter2?
Why did you just type a bunch of stars?
Hey now there not all stars, exclamation, ok
I’m a big fan of Pratchett’s “-ing”.
“The fuck you talkin’ about, man?”
The noise it makes is unbearable to me.
Same for me, balloons too
Just gonna rub two pieces of Styrofoam together…
You mean styro-o-of-bleh
Some people just can’t appreciate a complementary snack.
Nothing some acetone can’t take care of.
I can hear this image and it hurts
I didn’t even want to touch it in case bits got on me
Keep it in case you need to make napalm, perhaps?
Personally started stockpiling last summer. New solar panels? More napalm. Dad just got a smart tv? Napalm. Replaced the old laptop? Funnily enough, napalm.
Fuckin’ A! Two fingers of unleaded in a pickle jar, stuff it in there. You can fit a whole TV worth of packing in a quart jar.
PRO TIP: Dry in the sun on an old cookie sheet, cut up with scissors, pack it out.
I…had not considered this
Never know when you might need it.

Expanded polystyrene
As far as plastics go, at least it can decompose. Black soldierfly larvae can eat it!
Source?
I was both mistaken and correct.
I say mistaken because here’s what I was thinking: mealworms have been known to metabolize polystyrene for a long time:

I say correct because there is also active work on tailoring BSF larvae to do the same thing:

Yeah, styrofoam’s notoriously bad for the environment. Plus just annoying to deal with. I hate it.
What did you get?
New Lamps from Walmart. I love them. It helps that my old lamps were the shittiest imaginable.
They look really smart, and with adjustable brightness too. I think good lamps make a room much more cosy in the evening.
A mess.
