Asbestos generation laughing at the Romans and their use of lead

Here goes the microplastic generation

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

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

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

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

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

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.

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.

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.

Eh. You should be cutting that with a wet saw, like any other masonry product. The problem is that a lot of contractors are trying to go fast, since time is money, and they skip wetting stone and masonry products while cutting.

Yeah it's not as bad as asbestos. I think it will be similar to lead paint. Bad for you, but not downright dangerous.

Hardi board

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