Melted plastic has become intertwined with rocks on the Brazilian island of Trindade, researchers said, calling the discovery “new and terrifying.”

George Carlin was right! The Earth is simply incorporating plastic into a new paradigm…The Earth plus plastic!
Hundreds of years later after modern society perished, it may become a commodity…
Remember that our ancestors that were mysteriously wiped out when reaching their peak of civilization…only some remains
Duh-city 😂
What a surprise.
Dont worry the rich is working on it, they are trying very hard to escalate Russia war to full blown Nuclear war. When that happens there will be few humans left to restart the planet, most of them already had their very own Norah's ark.

Some ore ready for the plastic mines of the future?
Fake plastic and fiberglass rocks are now a thing in Gardening, Aquarium and Reptile keeping circles.
At what point will the synthetic world overtake the natural one? Or will anyone be around to see it?
As 3D solid & replicating robot printers knit a world of synthetic
' sentient Intelligence ' ?
Instead of a "Vegan," now we're all on a "Plastican" diet.
Heal the world my a$$, the world would find a way to integrate things, we are insignificant, not just from galactical perspective, earth itself doesnt care about us,
Earth be like
"Oh you dump insurmountable amount of plastic to the ocean?, well let me make plastic rock"
"Oh you dont like it?"
"I dont give a $hit"
Why is this terrifying? Prob the only way to make plastic garbage safe.
I couldn't be more turned off from this stuff even though I live Earth and animals. All of this global warming hippie crap is part of the economic world forum and they just want global control. No
Look what has been done to Gaia.
Thats why i dont like glocks because there nothing but plastic
Blame Africa on the east side, and China on the west side of this stuff washed up in SA. I'm sure this comment will be deleted soon. Truth is easy to hide these days.
Oh snap, George Carlin was right. The Earth wanted plastic for itself!
The effects of capitalism and white supremacy. When blacks ruled the earth it was never like this.
We need to make heat resistant fishing line fast
Build college students a house on the beach. Free housing and tuition to clean up the beach daily.
How much is it worth per gram?
hopefully this will make picking up plastic a bit easier.
Your scared for the turtles but imagine what man is doing to other humans is its experiments , test and chemical waste
People need to understand that we're not destroying mother earth. Shez resilient and has been through more than we can ever get to give her. What we are doing is simply destroying our ability to live on this planet
I guess "Plastic Beach" is now an actual location rather than just an album…
That's what you get for worshipping money instead of God.
We are the problem
Rock, paper, scissors just got more complicated.
😢
The fishing net rock. So pollution is what terrifies the scientist. Ah, more “green” agenda propaganda
AND I THOUGHT IT WAS POOP! AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL
now make stuff out of those rocks. I wonder how they were able to melt without burning and keep the color? that must be a lot of plastic in one spot to do something like that.
Fun fact: all this plastic is coming from the Western world and the first peoples it affects are in the Third World/ the Global South, bc WE dump our pollution onto them with the help of the US military and imperialism.
Y'all probably don't know this but we consume plastic everyday through our body's micro plastic from decontamination
They calling it “plasticlite”
Why terrifying? We have been living like selfish slobs
I dunno aboot this
I have a sneaking suspicion that it will melt when the volcano comes back to life.
The Graduate has a bit of foretelling concerning plastic.
Easy enough to correct it…but nothing will be done. The earth is screwed anyway, let the poor fisherman keep destroying the ocean.
They shouldn't be surprised wtf Brazil is a wasteland
Plastic is the best thing to ever happen. Said the mega corporations
It's a Casio on a plastic beach,
It's a Styrofoam deep sea landfill
Turtles don't eat rocks. Still gross though.
Crime against humanity but it's ok did you see trumps gonna get arrested tomorrow 😂
Finally, Humanity made something beautiful as it is deadly.
OK doky five min brainstorm…
OK tide rises and falls…
Gold particles are caught with a slew…
Plastic floats most of the time…
….
I'm thinking maybe a bamboo seasaw.. lol
That rises and lowers with the tide….
Velcro and sticker barbs on the beach are always good for getting caught in stuff.
Sooooooo maybe a hook pile on top made from those spiky trees found around the earth….
So so when the tide washes out the platform drops…
Leave one end open so the rush of water will keep the platform down while the water rushes in and as the tide leaves the water empties and the platform rises trapping the plastic…
Might need some more enginerding to make it perfect but hopefully it helps.
Oceans got a failing report card back in the 1980's we should have stopped fishing back then and converted to fishery farms. now, with millions of boats on the oceans discarding miles of netting into the oceans, there's a huge pollution and natural disaster about to happen.
