    oh wow an enlightened being that knows that nfts are links to monke jpegs stored in an extremely inefficient append-only database, instead of jpegs themselves. none of that shit is remotely practical unless you make some hopelessly paranoid libertarian flavoured assumptions about how world works

    Almost all of solvents are made from petrochemicals, so it’s a distinction without difference. Few exceptions (bioethanol, MeTHF, DMSO maybe) also require obscene amounts of energy to prepare

    What makes acetone tick as a solvent is the fact that most of phenol is used up immediately for bisphenol A, and this leaves 1eq of acetone from cumene process unused (or cyclohexanone, and this leaves all acetone unused). In some way, acetone is a waste product and that’s why PMMA or isophorone diamine is a thing

    Just it’s low toxicity, the fact it’s non-chlorinated and sane boiling point makes acetone a pretty green solvent by comparison
