Woman at the fishmarket buying a fish. "Do you have a plastic bag with that please?", "Sure madame, there's one inside the fish".
delicious

Green color means it’s healthy.
KingJalopy@lemm.ee 8 months ago
“organic”
farfarawaay@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Is that green to you?
Nelots@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Is it not? Looks like a blueish-green to me. I’d definitely say it’s greener than it is blue.

Back in my day, we had to churn out plastics by hand, for hours. My grandfather wouldn’t let us play until we finished our chores. Kids these days don’t know how easy they have it.

I prefer the white color without any added dyes.

Sent this to a mate… we were at the shops and he picks up this tiny glass coke bottle for a drink and I’m all like, but this one is cheaper and you get more, what’s the deal?? To which he replied “microplastics” and I was like “bitch! I helped you smoke a quarter through a garden hose last night, stfu with you microplastics bs…” true story

Is this an Omega Mart product?

Gross. Those of us that 3d print get the good stuff fresh off the machine. Never as good sitting in can like this.

Is microplastic in soil any worse than silicate sand? I mean once it’s inert it’s inert right? Probably not the best sub to ask this lol
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
Not the right sub, but entirely the right person to be asking this question to.
Like with most soil things, the answer is a mix beteeen "it’s complicated’ and “we don’t know”. This may sound like a cop out, but soil science didn’t really take off until the 1940s (thanks Jenny), so it’s a very new science. On top of that you have multiple disciplines (biology, mineralogy, chemistry, physics, and pedology itself) that tie into soil. Soil itself also has substantial spatial heterogeneity.
Short answer: I don’t know.
Long answer: I don’t know, but I suspect it might be more labile in soil.
Here is why:_
First thing to consider is the chemical and biological resistance of the plastic. Generally plastics are pretty stable to degradation, but plasticizers are more biologically active and can have all kinds of nasty effects.
Stability will ultimately be determined by feedstock (type of plastic) climatic factors, soil chemistry (primarily pH), organic matter content (high OM -> possibly broader soil Ecosystem -> more chance of some weird soil microbe being able to break things down), and particle size (smaller particles break down faster).
Given that soils have more microbial activity (which can generate weak humic acids too - see podzolification), particle size of the plastics are sand sized or less, and that soils are generally in the pH 5-7 range, it’s likely that they are more mobile and easily degraded versus inert sand. Whether this gets tied back up into soil organic matter is a whole other can of worms.
So yeah. Idk. I think so though.
Flumpkin@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
Oh wow thanks for the detailed answer! I guess the most likely answer is that it probably will degrade over a long time span, and during that time negative effects could happen.
Classy@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
As far as I know, silica doesn’t break down into toxic compounds with exposure to weathering, UV radiation and time like plastic does. Microplastic doesn’t just stay as it is
Flumpkin@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
Yeah, check out the other detailed answers.
WarmSoda@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Hmmm idk.

Do they still make that face wash with the plastic balls in it
Soulfulginger@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Some countries banned plastic microbeads in 2017, so a lot of those face washes changed the formula from plastics to environmentally friendly materials. They do still make them though
LavaPlanet@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Ooooh! And and! Apparently they contain newly discovered flavours of nano plastics too! Exciting stuff, gals!

Sfunny, it looks quite similar to Soylent Green but is in every way its opposite.

So… corporations figured out how to clean the world, and then sell a cleaner Earth back to us, one can at a time? This sounds like the libertarian dream ocean.
CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I only eat lab grown microplastics.
ivanafterall@kbin.social 8 months ago
No thanks, that stuff is going to be full of micrometals from that can.
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
You’re in luck! The can is lined in plastic
KingJalopy@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Don’t even get me started on all the preservatives that shit has in it to keep my micro-plastics “fresh”
No thanks, I’ll be getting my micro-plastics from the farmers markets, like any red blooded American should.
NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I prefer to get my from the source. That way you get to see how they have been treated. Free range hormone free microplastics really are worth the extra money
kindenough@kbin.social 8 months ago
Pfff, micro... Me as a European shitizin will drink a bottle of fine French Nano Nano. It's also the latest thing in homeopathy.
