    Earthquake detection kit.

    On a serious note, my issue with these is that they’re plastic and when they eventually fall off they’ll become litter.

    When I had a housewarming party, I put a bunch of googly eyes in a bowl and instructed everyone to become googly eye terrorists in my new house.

    It was really fun, and a great surprise to find all my eggs googly-eyed with pieces of paper with pleas for help written on them.

    Still finding them to this day.

      Yes, yes it is. With all the other shit going on you think plastics is the thing that’s gonna kill us? World war 3 is literally already starting and a pedophile rapist with fucking Alzheimer’s and a narcissism complex has the fucking nuclear football - but don’t worry, the other world war 3 players are fucking worse.

      Sit back and have a laugh my friend 50/50 chance the world will be a fucking fireball in the next 2 years

        Thinking that pessimistically removes any chance of actually making the world better.

        Microplastics and environmental threats are just as big of a deal as ww3.

          I’m a ship. In front of me is a giant rock, past that there is another ship, finally the beach. I can run into each of them. The rock is more important because I’m gonna hit that first. Can’t make it any more clear

            So you are willing to run into another ship just because there’s a rock in front of you. Your example is apt, you still have to and need to worry about all of them to successfully make it out, and cannot just worry about 1.

            The issue is no less important because it is supposedly further out, because we need to get started asap to avoid the most damage

              When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isn’t gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship

              This shit is why nothing EVER gets solved, spreading out resources to all the problems instead of solving the most important one first. Just like those in power like it.

              You won’t solve microplastics while the people in power won’t do anything about it. And they are too busy with dividing up the globe and planning mass executions to be bothered with something that isn’t going to affect them at all.

              But whatever man. You keep putting your effort into whatever floats your boat. I’m sure you’ll feel great about it when you are getting rounded up. Heaven forbid In this cosmic hellhole a few people found a tiny bit of joy with some googly eyes

                A short sighted attitude to a ridiculous degree. You and your “I can only think of one issue at a time” attitude is precisely the kind of problem that politics always has.

                  Is it though? Give me your plan - go on, what’s your plan to fix ALL THE THINGS, ALL AT ONCE. Cause never once in the history of man kind has anyone ever pulled everyone together to do it. I and the Nobel prize committee await your brilliant proposal.

                  Oh and do it with the current world leaders in power, seriously, tell me how this works with Billionaire backed right wing facists across the globe having 99.99% of the power.

        In criminology, the broken windows theory states that visible signs of crime, antisocial behavior and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes.[1]

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory

        You’ve pretty much exemplified this but with doomerism instead of crime. Just because things are turning to shit doesn’t mean we should encourage other problems that we know need tackled. There’s enough plastic around us, everywhere, all of the time, without encouraging people to go out and buy more to spread around.

        Your clothes are likely plastic, your food is in plastic, your phone is plastic, your water bottle is likely plastic, almost every item of the modern world has plastic somewhere. Even if it doesn’t look like plastic, it could be plastic. It’s fucking disgusting.

        This isn’t a shitpost, it’s an advert in disguise.
