Honestly, I think that rumor comes from cremated ashes. If that’s the case, I can confirm, my late father was cremated, and the volume of ashes seems to be about enough to fill a large pair of shoes.
I’ve heard that if you removed all the water from the human body, the remaining chemicals would be just enough to fill your shoes.
I have no idea how to research this to confirm or deny that without ending up on some sort of watch list… 🤷♂️
Nope, can confirm 100%, they’re plastic. I just tested the edge with a razor blade, 100% plastic, made before the modern day enshittification and planned obsolescence era.
Addendum, found the comment of interest…
I recently viewed and saved a post regarding modern day lens coatings. Took me a bit to find it…

There’s also a particular comment in that thread that says what chemical they use to remove that coating. Check back soon and I’ll reply to this comment with a link to that particular comment…
I’ve done it before, using a Dremel tool with a polishing wheel and wax polishing compound, then toothpaste on a rag.
It took me two days, per lens to get anything close to usably clear. So I hate to say it, but you’re probably better off getting new lenses.
TL;DR the next part, shit used to be made to last…
Or, if you hit a dumb stroke of luck like I recently did, get some vintage glasses made in the 1980s. It’s very rare that I stumble into prescription glasses that match my prescription, but I accidentally came across a perfect matching pair that was manufactured around 1988, and they just refuse to scratch!
Yes, that’s almost impossible to stumble across, but you never know what you might find in a thrift store or flea market.
You’ve never seen a DNS poisoning attack have ya? I’ve seen Google infect systems just because they looked up a particular football game, because some bad actor somehow poisoned the DNS cache.
So no, “legit” sites aren’t always safe either.
LOL, fair enough I guess. 🤷♂️

This could have easily worked with ‘Homie, we’re in a Wendy’s restroom’, but somehow this version hits a little better haha! 👍
I only checked my comment history, and found your weird comment chain.
You can let it go ya know. I don’t even give a shit.

My prescription is -4.75 left, -4.5 right, and about 15⁰ astigmatism.
Now I’m wearing bifocals made before my first prescription, and these glasses just work.
Myopia. Nearsightedness. Can’t see a pile of horse shit in front of your feet sorta blind.
Glasses are awesome though, ugly or not…
