We are so close to being able to cum glitter. Just think of the possibilities. What a time to be alive.
Glitter is stored in the balls
“Let me nut some plastic into you, baby!”
kids in Detroit are using their jizz as hot glue.
And since plastics mimic female hormones…
My loads will be a shotgun blast of funfetti

The very last, maybe.
I’d say at least it’s not generational lead poisoning, but we’ll probably end up with that too at this rate
Approximately 40.5% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes.
this might be worse than generational lead poisoning
Nah, everybody dies of something. It’s also never ACTUALLY “old age”. It’s either cancer, or a cascading failure of organs caused by a chronic disease, or both.
a lot more people are getting cancer at younger ages than before
and is it like how there were “suddenly” more left handed or non-straight people? Sounds more like everyone jumping on headlines.
Maybe pumping chemicals and plastic into the food and water supply is actually really good for us. I bet everyone didn’t think about that.
You might be able to link the cited article to a decline in sperm count.
Might. Saying, “yep, definitely why cancer” is simply and only a jump to conclusions.
Citation pls?

I am not defending microplastics, but pointing out how there are baseless assumptions being made.
There’s no way microplastics are worse than heavy metal poisoning.
The scale of this though…
We used to put lead in gasoline and emit lead fumes everywhere we drove. I still don’t think microplastics can compare.
worse is pretty subjective… is brain damage worse than brain cancer?
the full effects of this aren’t understood, of course… but my money is on: very very bad.
Nah, generational lead poisoning gave us the Great Regression, taking our boomers and making them the way they are instead of being their parents, who flew to the moon and made the UN as a way to foster discission before jumping into war. There was hope in humanity’s actions before lead made myopic narcissists who were okay with poisoning the world.
lead was in everything way before the boomers… pipes, cups, plates, paint… people used to bite lead fishing weights….
lead led to the downfall of rome….
the generations before the boomers were plenty good at poisoning the earth…. and many boomers did want to stop it and started the whole hippie thing, earth day, and civil right….
it’s all so much more complex than that….
It was leaded gasoline that made lead ubiquitous. Previously folks could minimize the exposure with precaution but by 1930 it was inescapable. No longer limited to physical proximity, lead fumes ensured it was in the air and rain put it in the water.
Probably worse. There is a high risk that the microplastics will cause inflammation that will lead to cancer. Microplastics are everywhere in our bodies, which means we may develop cancers throughout our body.
Nice profile picture… Tim. Are you aware of !hellointernet@feddit.uk? It’s not very active, but that’s sort of to be expected in the given circumstances. Just thought I’d let you know in case you missed it.
I wasn’t, but just subscribed - I keep the flag on this and my KBin profile as a tribute
Nice! The community is not very active, but I’ve been working with a friend on some HI trivia quizzes, which we are posting sporatically.
I just saw that the fediverse canvas (like r/place) is returning next month. Do you think we might try to carve out a small HI patch?

Misread “tested” as “tasted” at first
Aerate it.
They found it women’s placenta as well. We’re fucked as a species.
This doesn’t make me feel good about anything
That’s fine because this isn’t /c/feelsgood
god we’re so cooked
Well, I’m doing my part to get rid of it all.
Guess I’ll keep trying until there’s another solution.
i have a solution but im not sure youre gonna like it
Try me
New shitty pickup line now available: “Hey baby, how about I inject some micro plastics into you”
So… now we need to stop jerking off because this polutes the environment too! ?!
I’ll never watch porn the same way again.
I mean a lot of porn stars are already filled with plastic.
Now they can be covered in it too!
Are we going to breed frakking cylons now?
I’ve seen some pretty attractive toasters.
They are still testing? I gotta send my samples!
It is as Jeff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park: “Life finds a way, that way is plastic, and it’s not fantastic.”
Does this mean people can now count as sone firm of 3d printing extruder?
New gender just dropped? Female: x Male: x Other: 3D printer extruder ✔️
