Plastic has only existed for 80 years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 110 points 3 years ago (10 children) Yeah, we've really done a fantastic job fucking the world up in the last century. It's truly incredible that in the blink of an eye, we've managed to doom most of the life that exists on our planet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] saltesc@lemmy.world 53 points 3 years ago* (8 children) Wait until we black out the sun to stop the machines that are trying to stop us for plaguing everything.

Probably some nano machine. We'll give them the simple job of "find and remove all micro plastics from air/soil/water" while we continue to use plastic. And eventually the little AI will come to the inevitable conclusion that the only way to achieve this goal is remove the cause of micro plastics aka humans. And if you haven't played Universal Paperclips you should. Also read "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison.
