    I don’t care at all. You can take plastic from my cold dead hands hippies !

    First it was micro plastics, now it’s nano plastics, next they’re going to make number go up by counting individual plastic molecules.

      Alright, old man Carlin. Settle down. Units are used for measurements, indeed. Very post-woke indeed.

      One must hate the machine, the machine that feeds you GMOs, the machine that feeds you plastic, the machine that enslaves you go willing subservience, for it is of bullshit and should go the way of the dodo.

      Don’t me a lil bitch trell.

        You follow his dumb with your own dumb by thinking there’s anything wrong with GMOs.

          With all GMO’s? No. But certain pesticides, certain over uses of antibiotics, yee olde teflon.

          I’m not a big fan of throwing chemicals at the wall to see what sticks.

            I’m confused. Pesticides are not GMOs. Teflon is not a GMO. Antibiotics are not GMOs. They might all be used alongside GMOs, but they aren’t themselves GMOs, which are perfectly safe and rigorously tested.

        You can easily supercede plastics by inventing a better material. But no I’m not going to carry water in fucking clay pots.

        And if individually wrapped fruits means fewer of them end up in the dumpster then anti-plastic ideology would end up worse for the environement.

        If you want to do somethibg to reduce plastic, just end the fishing industry instead of forcing us all to use disgusting paper straws for symbolic reasons.

            Metal bottles need plastic liners not to conraminate and spoil their contents.

            Glass containers waste tons of energy from extra transport, to needing so much water and remelting when the inevitably chip and and break.

            We’re using plastic because it’s by a wide margin the best packaging material we have.

          Why? That industry scrapes the bottom of the ocean floor, literally lol them fishies gonna die out, so don’t worry about that. Some salmon have revolted though and decide to have their spawn on the ocean floor, which made it so that many fucking countries had to rewrite their nature curriculum, because generally salmon spawn upstream…

          But they won’t make that journey anymore. They getting the fuck away from humans. Hopefully the orcas will keep attacking boats though.

          It’s maybe their own way of protesting against plastic lol

          Stupid ass human, GTFO the ocean.
