MountainaireOne of the next indicators of humanity's impending extinction will be a mass bird die-off, simply due to all the nonstop microplastics that'll clog up their lungs
I was thinking of mentioning them, actually, haha. I’m sure there are already picoplastics…
DevolutionBut at least we can eat crypto.
Imagine all the energy it costs to fuel money: all the bank vaults, all the armored cars, the security staff, all the numerous 24/7 backup systems… You don’t have an argument if you’re implying that fiat is better. The only leveler of the playing field would be bartering or no currency, like the native Americans did.
What the fuck are you talking about? This was a joke.
I know. I’m pro-BTC, though (but anti-all-other-coins, to clarify). My point is that one could say the same of USD or any other fiat.
The joke was about the old Indian commercial about, “something something once everything is dead, you will learn that money can’t be eaten” or some shit.
Millenial humor I guess.
Oh, I’m well aware of that line. The thing is that I actually believe it yet think our socioeconomic predicament is a necessary evil… 😕
The proverbial canary in the coal mine
wasnt it obvious with the passenger pigeon going extinct. microplastics would be a slow death, unlike something overhunting, deforestation,etc.
Pantherina (he)Uhm that doesnt work like that
Microplastics are mostly in water, and a huge issue there. They become small enough to get into cells and cause constant inflammation and cancer. But they are not aerosols.
