How is society going to survive when everyone is autistic?

[chev@lemmy.world]

Most of it is in meat and we can survive without eating meat.

So far away, we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on

I think you have them backwards, surely the Charizard is the granddad

[speculater@lemmy.world]

Right, but I think we're the final evolution, because you don't get Charizard without Charmander.

The toxicity of micro plastics is very minor. To get to the point where it is a problem you need to be exposed to it for a very long time.

I think our asbestos is halogenated organic chemicals like PFAS. They are toxic in every way and we are addicted to their use in food chemistry. Not to eat or anything but to make the packaging look nice.

Because they are indestructible by any natural way their dose in the water supply is ever rising. The cost of health issues is already in the hundred billions.

Micro plastics might be a problem for our children when the dosage in clean water gets to extreme levels.

I read it as comparing the three exposures to each other.

The first evolution, Charmander was exposed to lead and the toxic effects of lead are pretty fast acting. Meaning they were weakened the quickest and couldn't evolve.

Charmeleon was exposed to asbestos which has latent toxic effects, they show up decades after exposure. So the Charmeleon lived quite a while before they showed any noticeable effects.

The final evolution was exposed to micro plastics and because, so far, micro plastics seem to be so unreactive they just chill doing nothing the Charazard had an opportunity to evolve.

If everyone is autistic, then no one is autistic

[sidewayshighways@lemmy.world]

Is my whole lifetime so far, a very long time?

[ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

With the way things are going, the next generation will have all three!

[justiceforporygon@lemmy.world]

There's a Teflon generation in there somewhere

[_stranger_@lemmy.world]

Plenty of kids full of lead these days.

[thamunsta@sh.itjust.works]

Pretty sure that's just everyone at this point

[kusimulkku@lemm.ee]

But also you aren't born a Charizard but rather Charmander and evolve (get older) towards Charizard.

[_stranger_@lemmy.world]

Nope:

it's in the fruits and vegetables

The first link refers to a study that only researched veggies and fruits.

If you seach for "what food has the most microplstics" the answer is still meat (fish to be exact). Downvoting doesn't change reality.

You're missing the forest for the trees.

It’s Not Just Seafood: New Study Finds Microplastics in Nearly 90% of Proteins Sampled, Including Plant-Based Meat Alternatives - Ocean Conservancy

Researchers at Ocean Conservancy and University of Toronto estimate that American adults could be consuming up to 3.8 million microplastics per year from protein alone

Some new plastic to add to the family heirlooms. Wonderful!
