A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

...and they COULD NOT think of a natural process that could produce plastics in the environment in the amounts required to produce life?

Their science would never dream of how it happened.

This is like what I've been saying, how do we know the microplastics are bad for us? Could be our final form...

Won't be long now until we are plastic based life forms.

Reminds me of this short sci fi story I just recently listened to on a podcast.

The Plastic People

That's the story in text. If you want to hear it read to you, it's CZM Book Club: The Plastic People by Tobias Buckell out on 23 Dec 2023.

We all have plastic in our balls so apparently we're on our way to making some kind of plastic lifeform

Plastic is stored in the balls

Grandparents had lead in the brain, I got plastic in my balls

Wonder what's next
