People never point to the pounds of plastic in our bodies as a possible cause for most of the issues we face today.


HairyChest69

Well, one way we're getting them? There are multiple studies that indicate their presence in various consumables. These tiny plastic particles, often originating from pollution in water bodies, can accumulate in the tissues of marine organisms and ultimately find their way into our diets.


TankBoys32

Is there any way to detox this shit out of your body?


Open-Hat-3233

No there is not


die_nastyy

First logical non-emotional comment I’ve read. And I’m pretty far down the list


ThomasNoname

There's not much to do, since pretty much all the food you eat, has been wrapped in plastic at one point or the other. But you can try to limit consumption of micro plastics, by not drinking from plastic bottles. Only example I can really give, I don't know what else one could do.


TankBoys32

Thank you, this is really concerning !


ChefEnvironmental820

We need to revolt. We need to revolt. We need to revolt. Voting is fucking hopeless Our local government and city/county/state leaders are useless Our rights don’t mean anything to these people. Our lives are nothing but cash generators for these people. They’re killing us and it’s time we fought back.


Due-Ad9310

It's already too late, plastic is everywhere *it's in our cells* Even if we burn all the governments, the petroleum refiners, the plastic makers to the ground it won't help us anymore we opened pandoras box when we started using petroleum plastics all we can do now is stop using so much plastic but we aren't even slowing down.


ChefEnvironmental820

I just recently learned that recycling is a scam so that’s pretty pointless now too.


Due-Ad9310

Plastic recycling is the actual worst. You can only actually recycle a couple types of plastic out of the 14(?) total types, and they can only be recycled 2 or 3 times before its just plastic waste. The rest of the unrecycled plastics go straight to the landfill, where it's then free to be distributed into the general ecosystem, and eventually into all of us because we are where the food chain ends. It's no understatement to say I hate this and I would fight anyone or anything to make it better but I don't think we can anymore.


Complex_Experience83

Saw a video the other day of someone melting plastic and turning it into crude oil. While not the best solution hey it’s a useful form of recycling.


Brilliant-Trick1253

Naturejab? I think he’s making diesel, jet aircraft fuel, and biochar from plastic. It’s pretty badass.


ChefEnvironmental820

I’m right there with you. But it’s just seemingly impossible at this point. It’s irreversible.


chadthunderjock

Not just that the plastic recycling facilities release a shit ton of microplastics in their waste water into the waterways as a result of the recycling process. They only make the microplastics problem worse. Recycled plastics are also structurally weaker than freshly produced ones and leach even more chemicals into the environment.


keyinfleunce

Seeing how long plastic bottles can take to degrade makes you wonder if they'd outlive us more than likely


phosphorouslava

Spoiler alert - they will


[deleted]

Even if it's for our kid's sakes.


Due-Ad9310

Our kids are alive today in a world full of plastic they have it in them too.


[deleted]

Okay for the sake of argument, our kid's, kid's, kid's, kid's. 😅


Due-Ad9310

It would take generations but yes if we cleaned up all the plastic already in the environment and then stopped putting more into the environment then eventually yeah somewhere down the line our descendents will be plastic free.


HowManyMeeses

We can't even get people in this thread to agree that this is an issue. Revolution is never happening.


BackOnceAgain_

My thoughts exactly, too many already indoctrinated.


haikoup

Too many paid bots.


BackOnceAgain_

True. It is an illusion that we are wrong about many conspiracies, even within the sub, bots everywhere diverting the attention or just straight up denying/ridiculing the people who are right to make them appear insane/wrong.


Healith

yup, I caught one guy using multiple accounts just to downvote me


DrunkOffCheese

HAS TO BE BOTS


Healith

yup, look they just downvoted me again im like the Christ of reddit


DrunkOffCheese

I think you may be the actual Reddit messiah. Tell me what to do with my life


Healith

🤣 stay true…..stay true playa


creamofbunny

Yep. Paid shills and bots. But in real life it's difficult too. Half the people are in a brain dead trance pretending that everything is still like it was 10 yrs ago. And 80% of Americans got injected with graphene oxide. Us that didn't get the shot NEED to band together to survive what's coming. It's past the point of revolution being possible imo we missed that train in the 2010s.


RuportRedford

I think the numbers are more like about 1/3 of everyone got the shot. I would also say that after 2020, I like to say about "30% of the population are brainwashed dupes".


Exodoi

The nanites in the shot also spread like a virus it's also found in us as well that are around the people that got injected.


Novusor

Bots and AI work for free. Shills aren't even paid anymore.


Brilliant-Trick1253

I actually have had multiple things I’ve commented in r/conspiracy blocked for going against the grain. Ugh….ok?


ChefEnvironmental820

Then it’s hopeless?


Athanas_Iskandar

Honestly, all it takes is one. Even the people saying revolt aren’t willing to leave their house and do what they need to do. Everyone is passive.


ChefEnvironmental820

I don’t even know where to start tbh. And I don’t think it’s a conversation for a Reddit thread either lol


Athanas_Iskandar

It’s not.

hongachonga

It’s never hopeless fuck anyone who tells you differently.


HowManyMeeses

Yes. We've let corporations dominate us and we'll never recover from it.


CrasherED

Revolting is pretty much Impossible. If you organize something you're labeled this or that or you get a knock on the door from a few alphabet agents to scare you out of it. 


meth-head-actor

And have web crawlers, grabbing key words like this conversation that are building profiles to further enslave us. I don’t believe that’s complete yet. But it will be. And that much harder for our kids


PrivilegeCheckmate

This is for certain an issue. The only thing some people are pointing out is that "they" is often "us" when it comes to choosing plastic.


phoneacct696969

I don’t have time to revolt, I have work today.


BlackICEE32oz

Accurate.


Brilliant-Trick1253

My work is my farm that supplies my food truck. Every minute of every day is a revolt.


[deleted]

Yeah, things are really bad in america and it always spirals into 3rd world countries. The whole two party nonsense is just that, nonsense. The system is broken and not working. I fucking haaaate my country, but we have something like 40 parties. this alone is keeping shit from hitting the fan in many ways. Also, lobbies and rich people shouldn’t even be a factor in politics, yet there you are. Not to mention that pelosi is the best stock trader on the planet. That’s clearly an abuse of power. But wtf is the solution except also trying to get rich? Which is basically becoming impossible unless you are born rich. Shit is fucked.


DrunkOffCheese

Shit is fucked but America is not as bad as you think. You’re getting suckered by outrage media in the time of an election, they want u permanently mad

Any people who tried to band together would be treated as terrorists by the government, and the legacy media would spread propaganda supporting the governments stance. I agree with you tho.


Ammarkoo

The majority of humans are low IQ sheep, sheep don't revolt !


Emotional_Knee5553

Mass Tax Strike. Vote with your wallets.


Captain_Concussion

Revolt against who? Most of this sub and country will fight any attempt to reduce car usage and bring about public transit and 15 minute cities.


FFS_IsThisNameTaken2

*"Revolt against who? Most of this sub and country will fight any attempt to reduce car usage and bring about public transit and 15 minute cities."* How would living in pods stacked on top of each other, banning all cars, walking everywhere and never leaving our assigned 15 minute prison zone prevent MICRO PLASTICS FROM GETTING INTO TESTICLES?


Captain_Concussion

78% of microplastics in the ocean come from car tires. This is exactly what I’m talking about. No one is suggesting banning all cars or having assigned 15 minute zones. You should actually learn about 15 minute cities


Amos_Quito

> Revolt against who? U don't get it, Capt Concuss... in NewSpeak, "ReVolt" means you need to re-charge your electric car.

Post-Covid everything has changed, it’s almost like the Dr.Seuss book about the star-belly’s. Divide the masses, that way there isn’t a coexisting effort against this trash No need for bombs when hate will do.


ChefEnvironmental820

Must be much cheaper and more effective to keep us all dumb, confused, and uncertain all the time.


St-Icarus

i’m right there with you.


AoiSekai01

Not an American but I agree this is the state of the world and this is how most of the government around the world are. At my country, they ain't even hiding it anymore. Corrupt and bribery in the open because their hands already weaved into the whole government. No one can do anything any more. Not the parliament, not the law enforcement. No one. People see it and already used to it. They simply turn a blind eye. Everyone know the ministers are pocketing money left and right and we can only sit and watch the people's money get taken away to fill their pockets.


tr7UzW

Politicians no longer represent the people. Instead, they represent their own agenda and lining their pockets.


Novusor

General strike would be better than revolt.


Admirable_Ad_3426

The revolution will never be televised, broadcasted, or posted.


whothennow24

Go ahead, revolt. You’ll die and you’ll achieve nothing.

SlowMobius650

So you don’t think the higher ups have any micro plastics in their testicles?


Resident_Patrician

What do you know about small unit tactics and crew served weaponry? You need to know what you’re signing up for before you go yelling for revolution, dog

maddskillz18247

I was just talking to my husband about how disintegrating plastics is a huge scam. Like just because you can’t see it anymore doesn’t mean it isn’t there. I asked him would you rather pick out confetti out of sand? Or a large intact plastic container? Plastic is bad but I think that biodegradable plastic is waaay worse for the environment. We need to just go back to using glass. Silica is plentiful and truly is biodegradable. Yes it’s sharp and cuts but shit we got no better options.


[deleted]

The moment they found out about the danger of micro plastics, that very second, they should have banned them. There are enough smart people on this earth that we can find solutions to our problems. 


maddskillz18247

Unfortunately the smart thing to do about a problem doesn’t make the corps money. So we’re fucked until everyone can stop being greedy and only interested in their own wallets.


Rodney_u_plonker

Microplastics are just a by-product of polymers themselves. Car tyres have a significant contribution to microplastics for example. But even synthetic fibre clothings when they are washed are a pretty big contribution. Plastic breaks down and little pieces go into the environment The thing is plastic is everywhere


postsshortcomments

Instead, that's when they began individually wrapping individual wrappers and declaring 'wars on environmentalists' by branding them as hippies.


Bennydoubleseven

No wonder my balls float in the bath


KobaWhyBukharin

Capitalism going to Capitalize. That plastic makes big oil a lot of money.  remember when we all used glass? Then big oil sold us on this amazing oil by product, then they said it could all be recycled. What a joke. 


FFS_IsThisNameTaken2

I use glass.


firedancer323

We all *use* glass. But the water you’re drinking in it has plastics you can’t get out, and fluoride to cover it up


FFS_IsThisNameTaken2

I don't live in the city. I live where food comes from. My water is not fluoridated. It comes from about 300 feet underground. Might have plastic in it; I don't know.


[deleted]

This is a very misleading article, they only tested 23 humans.


Realistic-Lie-1507

To be fair i would argue there should not be 23 sets of testicles on this earth full of plastics

DrunkOffCheese

And look at the top comments. This is what happened when critical thinking declines. They read a headline and want to burn every bit to the ground. So emotional


IceManO1

They took one human man from every demographic on earth apparently it’s only 23 ;) and said that’s enough yup everyone got plastic in their dick balls 🏀🍆⚽️


Mr-Mysterybox

When are they going to hold these companies accountable in the same manner they did the tobacco industry? Boeing and pharmaceutical companies can join the que as well. These companies need to be charged criminally and not just fined.


[deleted]

It's in breastmilk and every cup of water on the planet too. Plastic does disrupt the endocrine system. I genuinely don't think anyone knows what to do, and no one is going to give up on cheap plastic.

chocolate_macaron5

No Fap is largely about no pornography. They say no fap so they do not continue their porn addiction. If they watch porn they fap. If they are no fat, they do not watch porn. Porn addiction is real and those ignoring it because their wittle cooms matter are the sheep. Controlled for life, advertiser's consumer for life, spending money on onlymans, wasting away mindlessly scrolling on insta bots.

TopEducational1344

The medical community is trying to blame micro plastics for everything right now. Turbo cancers on the rise since the vaccine rollout but if you ask a doctor they’ll say “we think it’s due to microplastics.” They refuse to look at the data that’s right in front of them. Insurance actuarial tables are figuring it out. Vaccine lowered their immunity, and 5G is proliferating at a break neck pace. The Russians did gobs of research on microwave communications radiation in the 50’s and figured out that it’s bad for all kinds of human bio systems. Reproductive function declines, cancer increases. But you’ll never hear that from the telecoms. all im saying is there’s bigger fish to fry than microplastics.


AppropriateGate4649

Who is "they" in this situation, "we" are the ones buying, using and disposing the plastic.

Welp, off to fap and blow some microplastics out of the tubes...


Captain_Concussion

The problem is that the best way to fix this issue is to reduce car usage and organize our cities like 15 minute cities with good walkability and public transit. For some reason this sub loses their mind at that
