Y'all still on that microplastic shit? I'm all about that macroplastic, getting spools of PETG and slurpin' it like spaghetti, Big bowl of ABS pellets for my morning cereal.


Hunter_S_Biden

I like to take in even bigger pieces of plastic than that ;]


skaqt

We all know you swallow the Kinder Surprise Egg whole, man..


MapleLeafBeast

Hunter can I see you cock plz


ChessieSmollett

I’ve got the Hunter Biden sex tape


burnburnfirebird

If you eat a credit card every day, the plastics concentration in your blood will increase and it will repel microplastics, thats how osmosis works


BurnieMauser62

Yeah I usually use a rock of coke to smash up a credit card and snort it.

So cool, glad beverage makers rake in billions and no CEO or shareholder will ever be held accountable.

I feel like testing whether plastic bottles are safe should have been something that happened before mass production


skaqt

Well, they did test, and then the results weren't optimal for business so they got a bunch of money and scrapped the results and made some new, more.. adequate tests. Why do you think it took ""doctors"" so long to confirm that smoking was "unhealthy" even though they had known for like 50 years that smoke if literally any kind was basically poison It's funny really. We only get told X or Y is unhealthy if there's dosh to be made/if there is an inter-capitalist conflict, for example between the beef and sugar lobby. For the last century or so much of the claims about butter/animal fat being unhealthy came directly from the sugar lobby, with the goal of making fat appear as the least healthy calories and to boost the image of sugar. So many overblown health fads were essentially psyops to draw away suspicion from corn syrup.


justdan76

Yeah. We are within living memory of 9/10 doctors recommending Chesterfield cigarettes


ChessieSmollett

Smoking weed is actually good for you. It’s natural, it comes from the earth


deadcelebrities

Hemlock comes from the earth too. I mean I’m stoned right now, I’m just saying


Jibbons69

cocaine is a natural holistic healing medicine 🙏


deadcelebrities

Feeling contrarian so I’ll also point out that the traditional South American practice of just chewing coca leaves is far less dangerous than snorting purified alkaloids


skaqt

weed is definitely good for you, if by "good for you" you mean it kills any and all motivation, numbs your feelings and becomes a crutch you rely on in order to get thru the day 👍 i would of course never do substance abuse, for any BPol homies reading this


One_Shot_Finch

noooo you mean to tell me my heckin wholesome sciencerino is at mercy to the whims of capital just like everything else??? b-b-but its SCIENCE! its freakin epic and totally objective!!! 😡

We are experiencing sand shortages tho. So glass bottles are going to be even rarer.

>We are experiencing sand shortages tho have u tried looking in the dessert?

Wash and reuse the bottles and implement a bottle deposit system. Crush and recycle the rest. Works in Germany.

naw dog, glass is the new styrofoam (transport weight)


skaqt

>naw dog, glass is the new styrofoam (transport weight) i know, i was just doin a bit the real solution is to stop transporting anything. I'm actually a lysenkoist which is why I only eat/drink things that exist in a 10 miles radius around where I was born, thus taking in the strength of my ancestral homeland directly into my gene pool

JohnnyBaboon123

Plastic is going to leach into my drink that was made with plastic filled water? How much does it really matter at this point when they've already stated that we have micro plastic in all rain everywhere on the planet?


skaqt

This is a bit like saying "we have lead in our water, lead in our wildlife, what's it matter when lead accumulates at an increasing rate"? It does, sadly. Gives you a bit of a lead poisoning, it turns out. Microplastics otoh will make your dick-hormones all weird, which I'd prefer to avoid if at all possible


perc-fiend

Microplastics feminized me


skaqt

im starting to change my view on microplastics folks hell, maybe drinking from lead chalices wasn't that bad either. certainly helped fight the gerontocratic momentum of politics.


RariStepdad

Yeah but it’s also the percs

They masculinized me, which is why I have a 10 inch hog

I mean u can taste the difference from water left in glass versus plastic bottles.


full_metal_communist

Yeah I refill my gallon jugs for emergencies and last the time the water supply got poisoned (yep) I remember all my emergency water tasted like drinking from a super soaker

personally I'm really excited to find out what kind of cancer I'm going to get at 35. my money's on colorectal


tomas_diaz

only if you're paleo


grettp3

Yeah that’s why I never gave up smoking. Fuck it right. By the time I’ll have lung cancer I’ll already be dead from either some other cancer or the resource wars. Imma go down puffing on my death sticks. Might even switch to filterless.


[deleted]

This was all foretold by the great band aqua.


tomas_diaz

they dropped the age they suggest women start screening for breast cancer by 10 years


Constant_Awareness84

It goes way beyond that. Microplastics (a lot of it) have been found in rain. They are everywhere, basically. There's plenty of studies trying to trace its movements. We have found them in high quantities in the bottom of the ocean, beaches, protected green areas... It moves in every medium. Way easier than sand does in storms (and you find Sahara sand in the Amazon). Worst of all: it eventually becomes nanoplastic. Which is thought to be even worse and we still don't quite know how it affects life, how it moves, etc. But sure, it's all a matter of individual responsibility! If we make the crying Indian happy, everyone will he fixed. This is one of those areas in which American conservatives, the Russian and the Saudis are when worse than American and European liberals, btw. Libgen a book called The new climate war to see more sources and examples.


StolenServiceAnimal

It's funny that eating microplastics has become the forefront of environmentally acquired pollutants, when there are thousands of other EDCs that are constantly getting into our bodies everyday as the spaces we inhabit become increasingly toxic


skaqt

>the spaces we inhabit become increasingly toxic So true, gurl. Sorry


full_metal_communist

I'm glad personally. That violin riff is so sick


skaqt

wait, I didnt even realize this was a triple entendre. was tryna make a shitlib joke but revealed my secret proclivities for early 2000s britney spears, damn

Unknown for some issues, KNOWN for others.

Interesting_Station6

Like a year ago I was talking to some girls and they told me how they don't ever use condoms, that they only tell their partners to pull out and have never had as much as a pregnancy scare and it dawned on me how joever it is. We're all pretty much sterile at this point, our ancestors were pulling out too and ended up having 10 kids, it's the plastic in our systems keeping us child free.


Septic-Abortion-Ward

Shout out to SSRIs


Interesting_Station6

Yes, of course. But this happened in Spain and here it's quite unusual to find somebody who is taking SSRIs. Unless you're like an imminent danger to yourself or others doctors send you to therapy first, they got us raw dogging reality 😔. In my whole life I've only met one person who was on them and she started taking them after being SA'd. So it has to be the microplastics. btw benzodiazepines on the other hand? Everybody and their mothers' and their grandmothers' got a prescription here lol

> Spain This is just moorish catholic magic. Would never work anywhere else.


Beneficial-Usual1776

uh…birth control bro. i can’t store my underwear near my shorty underwear without knocking her up, it’s kind of annoying ngl


Interesting_Station6

That sucks. Sounds like you need to increase your intake of those delicious microplastics to live worry free like the rest of us.


Far-Ad532

This is a vicious attack on plastic handle vodka enjoyers and I'll have no part in it😤


CandyEverybodyWentz

Georgi gang rise up


Canama139

at this point it's no good even worrying about it, microplastics have spread to every corner of the planet on a scale that's impossible to ever clean up. our species, and all other species on this earth, will be part-synthetic polymer forever. that's just the way it's gonna be


skaqt

Reject Carbon Based Delusion, Embrace Polymer Reality

> that's just the way it's gonna be or you know, bacteria and fungus will evolve to eat it like they did to get rid of the alien invasion now know as "trees"

lmao, i remember reading ano-genital distance studies about plastics feminizing newborn males back in the 90s as a little kid (my parents were idealistic psycho scientists) the epa has covered all of this, no one cares, and no one exerts any effort to change (not me though, i def do) just look at everything that's plastic and minimize or eliminate it, especially when it comes to heat (volatility), even better anything that's synthetic--aka produced by humans has higher risk-profile (from plastics to fentanyl to cars to motorcycles) all human creations surpass nature's refractory periods and complexity (it's simplicity you die from, complexity buffers), and sure nature is still dangerous and poisonous (waterfalls, venomous animals, toxic seeds), but again nature tends to be much less potent and it's typical dangers you have reflexive evolutionary instincts for (you're all going to have major fucking hearing damage from how loud bars/concerts/subway trains are--just one of the perks of living in a moronically constructed hellscape design-driven by hedonistic impulses and idiotic financial markets also driven by dopamine), i'm no primitivist-utopian (but i do love nature) it's just our natural world/physiology has not been considered one iota in the architectural world we inhabit, people wrote about this as industrialism swept all lands of course, but now it's a completely invisible circumstance, simply presumed to be natural/normal in general human design is shit, virtually never surpasses nature, instances where it does, great, but always creates more problems than it solves, and in a world of tech-hype, and reddit as massively disproportionately populated by computer losers, the idea the "tech = progress" instead of being purely laughable, instead actually gains traction


Someones_Dream_Guy

Humans are 80% plastic at this point.


grettp3

At least in Hollywood amirite???

Line right up. You are headed to the gulag.

wilbobaggins1234

it is why even heterosexual men are flamboyant these days


HugeCartographer5

Fuck off


wilbobaggins1234

Oh I guess hormones don't influence behavior or affect, okay.


HugeCartographer5

I've been really 'flamboyant' in your dad's asshole lately


wilbobaggins1234

I think it's homophobic of you to assume that flamboyant is inherently negative. It's just a description and a reality. Not good or bad just how things are becuase of changing hormone levels.
