    There's just so much fucking plastic in the ocean now. My grillpilled hobby is perfumery, and I've seen chunks of ambergris. Ambergris is a floating waxy substance exuded by the digestive system of the sperm whale (it helps them blunt the edges of squid beaks they've eaten, so that their insides don't get ripped up), and after aging/chemical reactions on the ocean for months it becomes incredibly fragrant and washes ashore where collectors find it.

    Most lumps of ambergris now have layers of plastic bags embedded inside them.
