  Ooh. Cremation is gonna get more expensive if they have to put pollution filters on the chimneys due to all the burning plastic.

  Eventually it’ll be like cremating people from that Bodies exhibit. The one where they have bodies that have been injected with some kind of resin to preserve them for anatomy study.

    You mean Body Worlds. And they’re not injected with resin, all liquid in their bodies is exchanged, turning the bodies literally into plastic.

      When I was a kid and saw it(I’m old) it was called “bodies” or “the bodies exhibit.” Didn’t know they changed names since then, or if it was even a thing still tbh.

        I also knew them by the name Bodies like 10 years ago. I think “Body Worlds” is a different company now.

        (Not sure what happened to the old one, or if I’m even right on this. Should have done wikipedia research but don’t wanna fall into another rabbit hole :))

      Body Worlds

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodies:_The_Exhibition is what they are referring to here.
