It just might not be the answer we had hoped for.

Plastic may be the death of us all.

It has contaminated all water on the planet, and is now found in basically all living things. We have poisoned ourselves and our entire planet along with us. The consequences of this poisoning are only beginning to emerge. Just what does it mean to have these chemicals in our organs? Stay tuned to find out. This may be one of those consequences.

Rates of exposure will only continue to increase as our cumulative total of plastic production skyrockets.

I remember long ago hearing on the radio some Republican saying we couldn’t disarm because of all the jobs we would lose. I guess if you can amass great wealth in your own lifetime it doesn’t really matter what happens to the next generation or if they are last. Too bad we set up an economic system that favors success if you’re a psychopath.

Great, if we manage to control the rate of change of global warming, we'll still die off because we thought plastics were the future. Apparently, we lost our collective minds in the 20th century.

H.G Wells almost had it right. It was our water that was the killer but it was humans, not the aliens that died from it.

But with plastic, a woman can get any size penis she wants!

I haven't put my sperm under a microscope in decades, maybe I should have a look. :oops:

Humanity poisoning itself isn't really "nature's way".

sure it is. plenty of organisms have destroyed and extincted themselves for simply "doing what they do" throughout the eons of evolution.

granted, one major difference with us is that we have the capacity to "see" what we are doing, and adjust. We can appreciate these impacts, unlike all other organisms, and perhaps adjust.

perhaps.

the other argument is that it is our adaptability--say, manipulating the world to make things, like plastics, that didn't exist before, as part of our inherent evolutionary advantage (supreme adaptability). Also, we are just as collectively obtuse as most other living organisms, so actually doing something about our tendency to kill ourselves over short-sighted advantage has proven more complicated than one might hope.

Pfft, who need science. It all a hoax anyway. #retardsVote

I was tested once, borderline sterile. Now I have three kids, yes they are my kids. The world could probably use a reduction in fertility imo.

Let me guess, the only thing between you and the rest of us is a thin layer of gabardine?

Plastic particles pass from mothers into foetuses, rat study shows
Tiny plastic particles in the lungs of pregnant rats pass rapidly into the hearts, brains and other organs of their foetuses, research shows. It is the first study in a live mammal to show that the placenta does not block such particles.
The experiments also showed that the rat foetuses exposed to the particles put on significantly less weight towards the end of gestation. The research follows the revelation in December of small plastic particles in human placentas, which scientists described as “a matter of great concern”. Earlier laboratory research on human placentas donated by mothers after birth has also shown polystyrene beads can cross the placental barrier.

We have done more to ourselves than we know.

But do you know for sure it's the plastic? The coke I got at McD's was served in plastic...

Beyond its physical ubiquity, we are already recognizing some of the effects of its associated chemicals.

Early life exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and latent health outcomes: A review including the placenta as a target tissue and possible driver of peri- and postnatal effects
The statement that we have poisoned ourselves would appear to be literal. All life has been harmed by our production of plastic.

Thread title needs to be fixed.

Tired of all the dicks in the world? Science Mother Nature may have found an solution.

Science has only observed it.

It was the science of chemistry that enabled the discoveries allowing us to engineer our own extinction including the extinction of all dicks. It is human financial motivation based on competitive fear of failure that creates the disregard and disinterest in a fuller and more thoughtful understanding of the consequences inherent in Mother Nature.

As Ihave said many times people would rather die than awaken because to awaken requires that one know oneself which actually means knowing what we feel.

It's a tough break for the human race. On the plus side, we don't need to worry about climate change anymore, or pollution in general.
