A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

why cant we use something else like extruded polystyrene for lumber? or bearboard plastic lumber?
Because plastic is shit for the environment, and wood literally grows on trees?
Like why do you want to replace lumber with plastic?
if it can be made from recycled plastic that could help the environment
By creating way more CO2 in the process to further accelerate a climate disaster?
Your heart is in the right place - just the execution is wrong.
My parents had a deck made out of some kind of plastic that looked and felt like wood at their old house. It looked good and didn't seem to have any issues after like 15 years. Haven't seen that stuff anywhere else. Maybe it's too expensive.
I just made a deck with that a few years ago. There are actually two types: composite (wood covered in plastic) and full plastic. The boards are perfectly straight and it'll never need stain. It was definitely more expensive, but it's nice up here in Michigan.
It cost a fortune but it works better especially in harsh climates.
i wonder if anyone is recycling plastic for it
I forget what its called. Its nice though
We could use loads of different materials but it's just they all have their pros and cons. With price being a big factor.
You ask me, we'd all use concrete all day erryday. Even more than we do.
