    I think I’m more plastic than man now. Guess I’ll go out into the ocean and choke some sea turtles. I see now that that was always my destiny

      It’ll probably end up being far more devastating than lead. At this rate of growth, within decades the average adult will accumulate a few % of their body weight in plastic.

        Unfortunately you’re more then likely correct. Lead exposure/ingestion is devastating (and so might be plastic ingestion as well)

        A few effects (not a exhaustive list)

        Behavioral problems, Developmental delays, Brain and nervous system damage, Learning disorders, Loss of self-control, and shortened attention span

      The article says “the weight of a plastic spoon”; odd that they didn’t use a standard unit of measurement.

      Probably a shovel in the next few years, and then wheelbarrow’s after that.

      Generation’s after us, most newborn’s will probably be born synthetic right away.

    Probably half a cup in my testis.

    …I wonder if I fell in the water, if that would make me float upside down?
