But I was informed this was because of soy, and that I need to eat more meat to gas those numbers!

Whenever I think about the movie Children of Men, all I can think is that the answer to the Human Project's question was microplastics.

Instead of asking why women couldn't have children anymore, they should have been checking men for forever confetti in their balls.


No, don't. The planet needs to heal, we can do with fewer people until we finally figure our shit out


Stop repeating eco fascist rhetoric.



If it saves me the cost of vasectomy, gimme more plastic

But there's also the cancer



I don’t believe it


This is why I think micro plastics will be the nail in humanity's coffin, not climate change.

We can survive by digging down, but not if we can't make more humans.


Plastic additive that causes fertility decline? Condoms?


I thought this was already known for years?


Hopefully humans all become sterile, it would be a bloodless, natural end to the horror that is humanity.

That sounds like a pretty peaceful end, but imagine how scary it would be being old and basically everyone else is dead.
