Plastic is also indestructible and look where it got us
Yeah, but imagine if microplastics had terabytes data on them. Finding plastic fibers in your testicles is a bummer, but finding the Lord of the Rings trilogy Director's Cuts in 4K? That would be pretty rad.
I.. That's..
Yeah. That'd be pretty rad.
Am I also finding the director's cut in my testicles? Still rad, but markedly less so.

Nothing wrong with plastics (bcs the term is just do huge), it's just how we manage it and why tf are we still using fossil fuels for it.
I want to live in a world with ~~materials~~ plastics we can live with.
