Stupid people used asbestos. We made ourselves part plastic!

Asbestos generation laughing at the Romans and their use of lead

Here goes the microplastic generation

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

The geological record will be atomic fallout, and then microplastics on the next layer.

My testicles are really bouncy! How about yours? No? Get some micro plastics in your diet!

Makes me daydream of what new horrible thing the next generations are going to poison themselves with

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

The current one we are poisoning ourselves with is .... disinformation and delusion

Oh no, it's always something no one even thinks about until 30 years later. It's always a surprise. Something everyone thought was a great thing.

I just hope it's not cat pictures.

We’ve also swept psychotropic drugs in the drinking water under the rug…

Can't be that bad if you don't even bother elaborating.

[-] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

That logic sounds suspect and I’m not sure what you’re on about…

My bet is Hardi board will be the next one. Concrete dust causes silicosis. In industrial construction allowable concrete dust is basically zero. Residential construction people are sawing and grinding this concrete siding all the time.

Hardi board

That's a good one. I haven't heard of that before. It even checks off the "fireproof" box

[-] refalo@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

Except there were scientific studies done at the time that "proved" it was safe, even as a cigarette filter. Can't really blame people for trusting that IMO.

Now I wonder what was actually so flawed about those studies.
