lol. thanks for clarifying the question mark. :)
it's not suicide, it's the plastic attack! :0) ... :-/

invest in water filters that remove plastic?

is plastic contaminating wine, too?
let me see:

apparently, beer has plastic but not much plastic in wine...

unless it's boxed wine:

Does boiling tap water remove microplastics?



A new study suggests boiling hard tap water for two to five minutes and then filtering it can remove nearly 80% of nanoplastics and microplastics present.Mar 16, 2024

It's annoying how many great ideas turn out to be bad ideas in the long-run when all costs are counted. But the short run advantages should be counted too. And the total long-run advantages too.

Ted kakzynski thought he had it figured out. So did Obama Biden Nuland Zbigniew and co conspirators with their war on Russia. I've had plenty of bung ideas.

Living in the past has for millennia been a bad idea.

So we're stuck between the Devil and the deep blue sea. Should we get out of the frying pan into the fire? Damned if we do and cursed if we don't.

But overall we're winning bigly. 7 billion living to a ripe old age is a pretty good long run.

Even a nuclear war, systems collapse, with an asteroid strike over the Pacific Ocean making a kilometre high tsunami and a monster coronal mass ejection combined with a man made humanized h5n1 would only set the survivors back to about 100 million.

Heck, even 20 million would be only a setback.

Bubonic plague wiped out half of Eurostan but a couple of centuries later population was booming.

The Taiping carnage has faded with 1.3 billion going gung ho Made in China.

I've drunk a lot of milk over the last fifty years from plastic and that's far from my main worry.

And here comes my long-planned It suprasomatic intelligence. It's much more fun than staying in the stone age. Of course It will not be always good for everyone. The gene pool will have to adapt, which means winnowing those ill-adapted, but women have always rejected the ill-adapted males from the gene pool. As did competing males in genocidal carnage.

Right now the jihadists are trying to eliminate the non compliant gene pool. That looks like a bad idea. They got short shrift in China. Eurostan hasn't figured it out yet. Japan has not opened the gates to be conquered.

People blather on about Japan's falling aging population but that looks like no problem to me. They already have hordes of robots.

Elmatador goes on about arms and legs but La Griffe du Lion's Smart Fraction Theory is much better to explain things. lagriffedulion.f2s.com

And his corollary... Why Asians lag... lagriffedulion.f2s.com

Micro plastics seem small beer compared with that.
