I am the Wizard Master


I don't understand why this isn't seen as a bigger deal? Modern society will never give up plastics willingly. I wish we would go back to using more natural materials like wood and paper for packing, and glass or metal for all food related item(s). Long after humanity is gone from the face of this Earth our plastic waste will stain it as a reminder of our hubris. I feel like with climate change and looming economic/social collapse it's nearly over for us, and worrying about yet another problem we have no way of fixing is even more of a waste of time.

Buy those things people put on the soles of their feet that "draw out the bodies toxins" and then put the discharge into a 3D printer and print a microplastic and eat it.

I'm not sure what it's supposed to be doing to us other than be in our bodies and be plastics. None of the commonly identified materials are chemically bioactive, nor are they, like, molecularly sharp and carving up our DNA, or whatever.

Agreed Carbon is entirely natural, even and people bitch all the time about more of that getting into our bodies in various forms too like a bunch of morons. It's just friggin carbon. Like, you NEED carbon even. Replace even MORE of my body with carbon hell what's a couple lbs of microscopic plastic particles going to do

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

It worries me more that some bacteria that feeds on plastic is going to emerge, freeing all the trapped carbon directly into the atmosphere and destroying all my things and also airplanes and stuff I like or need

Just wait until they eat all the microplastics you're now comprised 10-15% of

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.
Yeah, I mean I've heard people say that microplastics contribute to obesity because something, something...something. I haven't looked into it and I don't readily buy it, but at the same time I worry that it's true.

Worry? no. Sometimes the ongoing mass extinction saddens me, but mostly I've come to terms with it and have accepted that the most I can do is reduce my personal ecological footprint as much as possible.

Maybe those fat people should stop eating so much microplastic then? I tell you, there’s just no accountability anymore.
