As long as it doesn’t hurt the PFAS industry profit margins.
/s
It will quadruple revenue - deregulation and PFAS for everyone!
Hope you can afford regular sponge bacteria cleansing baths, or you get them super-cancers real quick.I hate that we’re living in the stellaris timeline
It would suck to live in any of the empires I’ve created.
We dont deserve mandatory pampering
It’s the way the world was meant to be monetised!
The fact that this /s was even slightly needed :(
Omg, ikr?
People automatically start bitching about anything ever so slightly restricting harmful corporation’s actions even when they aren’t even involved with the profits (which also shouldn’t matter, but it’s funny that it’s not even their greed, just brainwashed by propaganda they happily repeat & would die for).
I’ll take the whole case.
The pefapocalyps is coming. Why does fluor have to be such a clingy sensitive bitch clinging to cheats-with-anyone carbon? Now carbon is in a toxic relationship :(
Oh fuck I mean I would love this to be real but this is going to be abused so much in the next couple years. Supermarket shelves and social media posts will fucking be filled with drinks and pills containing (probably nonviable forms) these bacteria by the loads. Good luck everyone.
Also most of us already have enough microplastic embedded in our brains to last a lifetime.
And a few years later the bacteria is found to cause even worse diseases…
I know it’s a joke, but that’s almost certainly not going to be the case. Pathogenic bacteria have fundamentally different metabolism and genes.
What is more likely is either: ecological imbalance or the bacteria only metabolises the harmful chemicals under extreme deprivation of other carbon sources, which is never realistic, so they never do
Well I mean if people throw off their gut microbiome by overloading on this bacteria, it might still be harmful in that way. It does not need to be pathogenic in that sense.
Its actually hard to survive the human gut
But it is neutralized by microplastics…
But before that they will discover some nutrients which are very beneficial for this bacteria so people will also consume that by the loads.
I’m waiting for people to start using leeches again to treat pfas in the blood.
That’s actually a valid treatment! Although really they’d probably just take a pint here and there. When you do, the body produces new, pure blood.
Bloodletting all the way.
But donate it.
That’s fucking great! I hope they are safe to use in people and make it to market soon.
Then 20 years from now, we’ll all have micro sponges in our ovaries and testicles.
