    I mean lead is pretty tastey, romans figured that out. But guy in year 10,000 is still going to have microplastics, the entire earth has been irreversibly infected.

      Guy in year 10k may be spared microplastics, if society figures out how to do so and also decides it is worth it to do so. That’s a lot of years to, for example, come up with nanites that break microplastics down into component bits.

        I bet some of the population would refuse to be deplasticised as its God 3.2(beta)'s will.
