Okay yeah, but what about three tooth?

Okay yeah, but what about free tooth?

That plastic bag estimate is off by a factor of 100. Obviously this isn't meant to be taken seriously but it still feels like misinformation. Someone will see that and decide it's true.

What do the plastic bags break down into when they decompose?

I am under the impression they don't decompose at all, just break into smaller pieces.

[–] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Based on what I've read, you are correct, and plastic might never really decompose. It breaks into smaller and smaller pieces which are stable enough to stay plastic essentially forever. That 1000 to 2000 year thing that I read about contradicts some other things I've read, so it's pretty confusing. I need to track down that article and clarify this.

The best thing we can do as a species is eliminate as much plastic waste as possible.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The duration for a plastic bag to break down primarily depends on the type of plastic used, and a number of environmental factors.

There are plastics that actually break down in a few years, other plastics are in the centuries to millennium range. On top of that, it depends on the environment, too: acidic, basic, wet, dry, protected, exposed, temperature, etc.

1 tooth 1 year

2 tooth 2 year

Oh okay so 9 women can have a baby in 1 month after all. Neat.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No no 9 women can have a baby in 81 months

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Oh right, because PEMDAS, mb mb

Lmao, the grandpa one is savage

Unless your grandma was Marie Curie

OK, its official: I'm shifting my stock portfolio to cryogenic companies. I will take a 15,000 year nap and wake up to a pure world or die trying

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

why do you want to get rid of your one and a half cursed armor ?

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What? That's staying with me under ice. You'll have to pluck my cursed armor off my corpse before I take it off! (I die if it's ever removed)

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 1 month ago

ah I see so that's why the knight name

pretty sure a broken heart takes longer

Cleveland Ohio is decomposing much faster than that, based on my travels there years ago

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can someone explain the neutron star to me? I thought the heat death of the universe would put a cap on that.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That also said the pain of a breakup would end after 6 months 😔

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It says decompose, not end. It's just now part of the soil, forever. Seems about right

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

I'm glad they included Cleveland. Never been, but sounds like a great place that should last that long.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

How many teeth does grandpa have?

[–] guy@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I'm also wondering about the two teeth.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago

Apparently if Grandpa were not embalmed, he’d decompose to bones in a satisfyingly symmetrical 9 months.

What's the original image?

It's obvious plant so it's probably on some sort of noticeboard but the OG image has been cropped
