Mfw the bacteria evolve to turn plastic into methane 🔥 💀 🔥
Mfw cows are producing 300 times as much methane as there is plastic being produced in total: 😐
Check the actual numbers before getting so concerned.
YFW you don’t even check the numbers you are chastising me for not checking and are wildly incorrect 🤡:

400 million metric tons of plastic per year produced

75 million metric tons of methan from cow farts per year
