    Am I alone in thinking this is funny? I mean, I wouldn’t buy this cookie cutter on its own, but if I bought a collection of cat cookie cutters, I’d definitely use this one too.

    You can use this to blame cat people, but this is just a class of people obsessed with buttholes and poo. I’m remembering a post a while back where someone had made a little dog bun, and if you pressed down on it, chocolate came out of it’s butthole. Nasty.

    Edit: Pic is the first thing I got off google typing in ‘dog bun you press that has chocolate come out.’ Obviously this wasn’t the same thing I was talking about but I refuse to search further.

        I want to put food in my mouth. It’s okay if the food is shaped in pleasing ways, but there’s nothing ‘pleasing’ to me about tiny assholes or fake poop. Hard. Pass.

        Did you see the Spy x Family movie? Why was there a like, 2 minute short in the middle about the God of Poo? The world is strange and inscrutable.

      They have fireworks that are dog-shaped, but the snake grows out the butt, and there’s a follower of some sparkly stuff

        There’s an aspect of Japanese folklore called “Shirikodama” or (roughly) “small anus ball”, which states that humans have a small ball/organ/jewel in or near the anus where their soul is stored.

        This is what inspired the name of “The Dung Eater” in Elden Ring, who would kill people and then “defile their corpse” to ensure their entire bloodline becomes cursed, as well as the Headless from Sekiro, which has a grapple attack where it removes Wolf’s soul via the nearby orifice.

        Personally I don’t think that’s okay. Too many, so you won’t be able to properly care for them.

        Consider that each cat person should get a couple hours of attention every day - how could you find the time for all 5?

          Cat people are pretty self-sufficient. Normally food, water and a few cats are all they need, and they’ll come to you for attention. If you have two cat people there’s a good chance of them forming a bonded pair, too. More than two cat people and they’ll often socialise together.

      There is a caveat, but yes: By definition, 3D printed parts should not be considered food safe.

      Single-use cookie cutters are generally OK if you don’t use them multiple times a day every day.

      There are probably minor chemical risks but it wouldn’t be in high enough quantities to kill you. There isn’t really anything inherently food unsafe with PLA, ABS or PETG.

      Bacteria is a much bigger risk during reuse because you can’t fully clean the prints between the layer lines and other surface defects. The plastic generally won’t survive a proper sanitization process either.

      What your own risk tolerance is for plastic additives is up to you. If you do print a cookie cutter, toss it after you are done.

        I really don’t condone producing single-use 3D prints unless it results in a net reduction of plastic waste for the same end. It would make more sense to 3D print a form to turn a thin strip of steel into a proper food safe and reusable cookie cutter. No waste and you can make as many cookie cutters as you want.

          Isn’t PLA made from plants though? Then just dispose of it properly how would that be an issue.

            PLA breaks down under industrial composting conditions. It isn’t really biodegradable. It is fair to call it plastic waste.

              This is why you dispose of it properly rather than leaving it in a hedge somewhere.

                Disposing of it properly means landfill, pretty much. Not that big of a deal, but the microplastics it adds to our environment on its way there, and during the manufacturing process, will last ages.

                While I was looking into this I learned about another material, PHA, which is much better suited to eco-friendly printing.

        Also this is a cookie cutter. Usually you bake after which should kill anything the cookie cutter may have left behind.

        Some tea bag brands are really proud that they’ve moved from petroleum based plastic on their bags to PLA.

        What the fuck. It’s still plastic, guys. There are a few brands that don’t have any plastic. You have to look them up brand by brand though.

        I’m not super paranoid about plastic, but I have been trying to avoid it a little more. And the biggest place to avoid it is soaking it in near boiling water that I’m about to drink.
