    Plastic bags don’t do much more than literally break down into smaller pieces. The plastic remains.

    Much like my psyche - scattered to the either but refusing to just die.

      Once I was going out with someone, and her step dad had hearing problems and slurred speech.
      When I introduced myself to him, he misheard my name as ‘t-rex’ yet when he repeated it, I thought he was saying my name.

      This went on for two years, until finally in conversation he mentioned that my name is t rex, which led to the hilarious realisation and correction.
      Apparently he didn’t question it because he thought that’s a young person thing and left it at that haha. Fair enough.

      Also I’m skeptical of the claim of a plastic bag breaking down in 10-20 years.

        Yeah that seems wrong. And what does it break down into? Microplastics?

      What about this seems like bot content? It looks like an Instagram story photo with self-deprecating text, appropriately posted to me_irl?
