Great. I've been breathing all week.

Shoot, me too.

Not breathing is hard.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Not for long though.

I use 3d printers, I'm sure half my brain is plastic by now.

I watched a video about the fumes coming off of 3D printers (spoilers: it ain't good)

At this point it's become like the 80s where everything we did was apparently giving us cancer

Oh boy I can finally stop breathing to stay alive!

Good news everyone, article says nose only - just need to commit to full time mouth breathing

Supposedly we ingest/breath a credit card worth of plastic every week.

Where do the plastic go after they are inside us?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Everywhere. They are very, very small. Small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier.

So thats why everyone is so fat

They don't know. It's found in sperm and embryos too.

My guess: it's the cause of low sperm count

I like to think your body just uses it to replace some other organic materials. So effectively we're now beings who are like 0.5% made of plastic.

Mostly down the toilet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, okay. Great.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t!
