Fun fact: the world is burning, and it's our fault! While the level of pollution that we are all pumping out isn't surprising news at this point, it seems like these days, there's always another terrifying fact around the corner about how we are trashing the planet.
In recent times, the flavor of the month when it comes to environmental horror has been microplastics. As it turns out, they aren't just the things in that face wash you threw away because it was choking the turtles every time it washed down the plughole. Nowadays, those pesky man made compounds are so rife that they've become a trace element in our bodies.
At first, this scary scientific discovery proved to be nothing more than another worrying headline to enhance our addictive daily doomscroll experience. Soon, though, the memes started to get out a microscope and zoom in on these colorful human additives.
There's something morbidly fascinating about the fact that bits of all the disposable products that we consume are floating around inside us, and the internet is dealing with it the best way it knows how: by using dark humor. If you like absurdism, meditating on the barren dystopia the future looks like it's becoming, and most importantly, consuming your state-mandated dose of delicious and non-biodegradable garbage, you've come to the right place. Just make sure you wash everything down with a refreshing sip of seed oils while you're at it.
