    We all remember that ad from the early 2000’s that was like, “Imagine a world without oil: all of these things made of plastic wouldn’t exist!” and a large part of the country was like “OMG could you imagine?!”

    Lol we’re completely fucked. I thought the worst studies were about finding plastic in testicles but this is way worse

    I mean I can have sex without testicles, but I hardly think i would be able to enjoy it much without a brain.

      I was very concerned when it was reported a few months ago that microplastics was discovered even in bloodstreams. That shit just makes me shiver to think about what that could happen to someone overtime.
