Eat your bugs so their exoskeletons attract all the microplastics in your body like a magnet.
Setting aside the man made horrors beyond our comprehension, I’m extremely curious about how plastics are gonna affect the biosphere as a whole. This is a new form of material that is being introduced into the world at a, relatively on a geological level, instantaneous pace. Assuming that nature isn’t gonna eat the plastic bullet, how is plastic going to be integrated into the whole biological system of Earth? This won’t be determined for thousands of years, and humanity might not make it through the transition. Still, can’t help but wonder, biological life as we know it could change in a way that it never has since it emerged.
This is like the George Carlin joke about the planet just using us to create plastic.

A book about first contact, the aliens have plastic skin and are, frankly, eldritch horrors
bacteria and viruses because of their comparably fast rate of reproduction, multiple generations in minutes, will be the first to evolve to "deal" with the plastics, everything else will take thousands of years. It is likely in our lifetime that we may see bacteria and viruses that have evolved characteristics caused by microplastics.
Viruses are gonna evolve and incorporate plastic in their structures. Sweet man made horrors beyond my comprehension
Stop telling people about my Barbie bimbofication erotica please.
I feel like the microplastics thing is gonna be so much worse than we realize
Death to America
Viruses aren’t even alive in the same sense that a bacteria or snail is.
so glad those are in me, I wonder if they will be able to form lil microplastic bezoars filled with nougaty- virus fillings that can just periodically reinfect me
Good thing everything is fine and under control
It's chill. Everything's chill. I'm so fucking chill we're all chill it's great.
