The first nobhead to pick up a stick to use as a tool kicked off a technological singularity and now we’re buggered.

Can someone smart clear this up for me? I thought distillation was the process of evaporating liquids then cooling them to form just the pure liquid on the other end, if this can happen in rain, could micro plastics find their way into distilled water too?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Evaporation ≠ distillation. Nature doesn't have filters everywhere. That's not to say that nature doesn't have filters, but they are seemingly sparse in the air.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Distillation doesn't use filters either

Maybe it's more about sterile conditions then, in a glass tube you're probably counting on the way that the water moves through it, I keep thinking back to the game raft and how they "distill" water, always made me wonder if it would really work

It's actually not. It still carries all kinds of stuff

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It could just be the wind that was hanging out in the same spot as the rain. Wind can carry stuff reeeeeaaaaaally far.

It's rainin' [green plastic army] men, Hallelujah!

Plastic is just gray goo in slow motion.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It doesn't reproduce though.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

It doesn't have to if we keep producing new stuff that sinks into the environment and lingers there for eons.

Once we die out, it's going to put a damper on all the biomes trying to recover from the Holocene extinction.
