Blood Benchy Boat.
Blood benchies for the blood god!

Cool, I want a racecar
Unfortunately, the machine only gives you the reverse of what you type into it.
So a racecar?
Yes. I’m sorry.
I hate it here 😭
Just donate plasma. Works great, gives some other schmuck your plastic.
I’m still waiting for nature to figure out how to process plastics and bring down most of the world’s infrastructure with it. But I’m not qualified to actually know if this is even possible
It took a long time for nature to figure out how to process wood, but it eventually happened. My wooden furniture is still standing though.
There’s fungi that are eating the pacific trash patch, but the issue is that there’s not much energy to be gained from plastics we use. It’s slow.
If I remember correctly it is a real concern and also part of why developing a bacteria that can break down plastic is very dangerous (not just because it could degrade our tools and infrastructure, but also because it will release literally megatons of CO2 into the atmosphere)
Fyi, in the past there was nothing in nature to break down trees (lignin) and it actually was a problem as they would literally pile up and essentially be the same problem we have today with plastic (ironically it caused global cooling) https://www.thorogood.co.uk/treevolution-how-trees-came-first-and-rot-came-later-in-earths-deep-past/
I thought it already had, I swear I rember some scientists finding or creating something, bacteria fungus or something that processes some polymers and they where tryna get ot to out and eat plastic ig so they can put it in landfills everywhere.
Isn’t plastic basically biologically inert? So unless it is physically blocking something shouldn’t we have seen adverse effects if it actually was dangerous? Or maybe health problems just haven’t been associated with it yet. I think with lead it was obvious pretty quickly. I am a dumbass tho, so maybe someone smarter can correct me.
Plastic is mimicking certain hormones and I’m suspecting that the recent rise in cancer rates is linked to plastic intake.
Ah okay, didn’t know that. Danke.
why would you listen to a random nobody hypothesize about medicine
Because I am a random nobody doing the same thing.
There is different health implications connected to microplastics like infertility and cardiovascular diseases, although the connections are not quite understood yet. The amount of microplastics in the human body is very alarming though. A study with brain samples found 0.5w% of plastics, which corresponds to roughly 6g of plastic in a brain. That’s a credit card’s worth of plastic.
This article should give some overview over different findings and implications:

Interesting. I had only heard about how it “MAY” be harmful before, which means nothing.
Danke für die Korrektur.
Yeah, probably just extra weight that interferes with the speed of your cells doing their job.
Yeah it’ll be like the machine that you find in museums where you put in a quarter and get an injection molded toy hot out of the mold. You just hook your arm up to an IV and it starts extracting your blood and then when it gets enough of the plastic it melts it and pushes it into the mold and spits out a little toy dinosaur.
…and you will be so happy for a few moments before you realize the machine never returned you back all your blood. You realize the machine never intended to give it back as you slowly fade into eternal slumber.
Sound like a futuristic black-mirror-esque solution to blood donation motivation.
At Blood-B-Kleen, our machine will quickly and safely pull 8 pints of raw dirty blood from your vein and will return 7 pints of your cleaned blood with 99% reduction in plastics and PFAS, plus some hydrating fluids and vitamins. We don’t even charge you for it yet!
Bro I just 3D printed a model of my dick from the plastic in my blood
ah i see, you are living mostly plastic free
gotta make do with the little material you have
/jk im sure you have a palm tree there
People are freaking out that there is a credit card worth of microplastics in our brains but I’m just paying for things by putting my forehead on the EFTPOS machine and wondering what the limit is.
Animals and environment - get fucked, losers!
/s (or whatever this horror is)
I want them to 3D print a neat little Star Wars starship miniature out of mine. Something obscure like a Kimogila.
How about a whimsical little vampire finger puppet? Grrr… arrrg…
You can download a car… but are you allowed to “steal” (get for free) the filament???
This is a post about college loans lmao
