When California mandated prop 65 warnings to be posted in every single parking garage in the state, that’s when I decided we’ve truly jumped the shark. These giant signs on every garage are now admonishing us to be careful not to spend any time in these garages because of the so dangerous fumes. I want to add on to it in sharpie: “Also, stay at least 200 feet away from any road, street or highway, so just basically go camp in the fucking woods for the rest of your life!”
Pretty much. Same thing with microplastics: sure it may be bad for you, but the average modern lifestyle includes so many other things that we know are much worse (smoking, drinking, factory food, sedentary, soda, …)
