To be totally nitpicky shouldnt this be backwards?

[-] Admax@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

I think they meant the placement of the text, switching places between the "grandpop" and the "me". Would make more sens to me.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Right, but I think we're the final evolution, because you don't get Charizard without Charmander.

The asbestos and lead eras overlapped so your dad was giga fucked

MY GIRLFRIEND FULL OF DAD

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 27 points 3 months ago

and our children full of microplastics (because it's passed down through the placenta and breast milk)

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

It's in your balls and brain! Doesn't take much to realise it's probably going to kill us

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 12 points 3 months ago

plastic is stored in the balls

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Oh, they can just get it straight from the source.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 months ago

I think you have them backwards, surely the Charizard is the granddad

[-] InputZero@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I read it as comparing the three exposures to each other.

The first evolution, Charmander was exposed to lead and the toxic effects of lead are pretty fast acting. Meaning they were weakened the quickest and couldn't evolve.

Charmeleon was exposed to asbestos which has latent toxic effects, they show up decades after exposure. So the Charmeleon lived quite a while before they showed any noticeable effects.

The final evolution was exposed to micro plastics and because, so far, micro plastics seem to be so unreactive they just chill doing nothing the Charazard had an opportunity to evolve.

[-] FreeBeard@slrpnk.net 10 points 3 months ago

The toxicity of micro plastics is very minor. To get to the point where it is a problem you need to be exposed to it for a very long time.

I think our asbestos is halogenated organic chemicals like PFAS. They are toxic in every way and we are addicted to their use in food chemistry. Not to eat or anything but to make the packaging look nice.

Because they are indestructible by any natural way their dose in the water supply is ever rising. The cost of health issues is already in the hundred billions.

Micro plastics might be a problem for our children when the dosage in clean water gets to extreme levels.

Is my whole lifetime so far, a very long time?

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 6 points 3 months ago

It's how we become immortal.

[-] levzzz@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

So far away, we wait for the day For the lives all so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames, we carry on

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I think this meme would work better in reverse lol

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It's those microplastics on the brain.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

How is society going to survive when everyone is autistic?

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

If everyone is autistic, then no one is autistic

[-] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

With the way things are going, the next generation will have all three!

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

I just want to say it's extremely cute and wholesome to call you grandpa grandpop

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Worst part is that the mutations created by the lead in the body, led to the mutated Charmeleon body. And those mutations he got from the asbestos, match the Charizard body.

Thematically, it fits

Only Arceus knows what is to come for the next stage.. Olestra mutations?

Most of it is in meat and we can survive without eating meat.
