Hate to break it to you, but you are also full of Teflon.
And Teflon is also a plastic
Sorry, it’s hard to think with all this plastic in my brain.
Don’t forget the lead and steel.
Steel? 🤔
I think they might be referring to when steel workers were exposed to heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and manganese through their work.
Yeah… Steel wouldn’t be a big deal. It’s mainly iron and carbon, both things that our bodies use.
And they’re all full of microplastics, and we also all have a decent amount of lead.
The kids are also full of lead but its alot more short term
Unfortunately everyone is full of Microplastics and Teflon.
So we won’t decompose or stick to things. Where’s the downside?
Not sticking to things is bad news for Spiderman.
This is terrible news. I’ve wanted to be a spider man since I was a young boy.
That might be the creatures that are evolving to eat plastics.
Now I’m 2x sadder ☹️
I think this has been going on since forever. Our ancestors were full of parasites.
Gen X over here on all three like it was gonna be a party.
Gen Z - radiation and climate change.
Radiation? That’s were the lead poisoning comes in handy ;)
Nope. Still microplastics.
Most of gen Z are in their 20s, I thought we counted as the last spiderman :(
The reality is that all 3 are full of micro plastics. And there’s some overlap in the Teflon lead generation. And non stick material is still not all that great.
Really, the only problem we’ve solved kinda is lead, unless you’re poor.
To be fair most people still cook with teflon, albeit PFOA-free, so we’re still actively consuming teflon. And the worst part? You need to use plastic cooking-utensils with teflon pans. And as plastic utensils wear down they shed lots of microplastics straight into your food.
I’m usually very sceptical about things that “might supposedly” be bad for you, but even I refuse to buy any teflon pan and/or plastic cooking utensils. I now use cast iron with steel utensils :D
what radiation?
With how much reddit and lemmy suck up to nuclear energie, I dont doubt that our ground water will be fully poluted with nuclear waste soon
Yes, as that is a well known regular occurrence with modern nuclear power plants…
Where would the nuclear waste come from?
If you knew anything about how that works (or how to spell energy) you’d realize what a stupid statement that was.
Is Uncle Asbestos coming?
He’ll do asbestos he can to make it!
Time to turn to glass instead of plastic
There’s still hope for graphene!
Faut bien mourir de quelque chose !
Me looking at what our government is doing:
Time to donate some blood I guess. *sigh
Too late we are all fucked…
Elder millennial here, I get all three! What’s my prize?
