Hah, not found them yet! Tided up before Xmas & no idea where it was put. Now Iām thinking I should order more to be on the safe side & make sure they are sticky this time!
They should put them on a strip and then have special applicators like pez dispensers. Eye gogglers, if you will. Patent pending patent pending patent pending.
Googly eyes always make me laugh. There's a realtor in my area that has been advertising for decades on billboards, and sometime early 2025, some hero took extremely large googly eyes and stuck them over his picture. I have no clue what glue they used but they're still up there.
This is how I found out from my mom that my family apparently has generational beef with theirs. My grandpa apparently loved terrorizing the guy's dad because they were assholes and my mom ended up competing with him in real estate for a little while.
The context is, people around the world stick these (googly eyes) onto things to make them look 'alive'.
The glue is usually weak, so they can be removed easily, making this more of a comedic form of vandalism rather than destructive vandalism.
It has nothing to do with the horrible shit happening in the USA.
Yes, yes it is. With all the other shit going on you think plastics is the thing thatās gonna kill us? World war 3 is literally already starting and a pedophile rapist with fucking Alzheimerās and a narcissism complex has the fucking nuclear football - but donāt worry, the other world war 3 players are fucking worse.
Sit back and have a laugh my friend 50/50 chance the world will be a fucking fireball in the next 2 years
Iām a ship. In front of me is a giant rock, past that there is another ship, finally the beach. I can run into each of them. The rock is more important because Iām gonna hit that first. Canāt make it any more clear
So you are willing to run into another ship just because there's a rock in front of you. Your example is apt, you still have to and need to worry about all of them to successfully make it out, and cannot just worry about 1.
The issue is no less important because it is supposedly further out, because we need to get started asap to avoid the most damage
When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isnāt gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship
This shit is why nothing EVER gets solved, spreading out resources to all the problems instead of solving the most important one first. Just like those in power like it.
You wonāt solve microplastics while the people in power wonāt do anything about it. And they are too busy with dividing up the globe and planning mass executions to be bothered with something that isnāt going to affect them at all.
But whatever man. You keep putting your effort into whatever floats your boat. Iām sure youāll feel great about it when you are getting rounded up. Heaven forbid In this cosmic hellhole a few people found a tiny bit of joy with some googly eyes
When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isnāt gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship
A short sighted attitude to a ridiculous degree. You and your "I can only think of one issue at a time" attitude is precisely the kind of problem that politics always has.
Is it though? Give me your plan - go on, whatās your plan to fix ALL THE THINGS, ALL AT ONCE. Cause never once in the history of man kind has anyone ever pulled everyone together to do it. I and the Nobel prize committee await your brilliant proposal.
Oh and do it with the current world leaders in power, seriously, tell me how this works with Billionaire backed right wing facists across the globe having 99.99% of the power.
In criminology, the broken windows theory states that visible signs of crime, antisocial behavior and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes.[1]
You've pretty much exemplified this but with doomerism instead of crime. Just because things are turning to shit doesn't mean we should encourage other problems that we know need tackled. There's enough plastic around us, everywhere, all of the time, without encouraging people to go out and buy more to spread around.
Your clothes are likely plastic, your food is in plastic, your phone is plastic, your water bottle is likely plastic, almost every item of the modern world has plastic somewhere. Even if it doesn't look like plastic, it could be plastic. It's fucking disgusting.
This isn't a shitpost, it's an advert in disguise.
No I donāt. Look micro-plastics are bad, yea we all get that. But fucking read the room. We have way worse shit to worry about, this isnāt broken windows, this is watching billionaires fund far right politicians in every single āfreeā country so the can become the next queens and kings. This is watching innocent people get executed live on TV, itās not isolated broken windows, the fucking neighborhood is burning and your the HOA president bitching about the lawn not being mowed.

When I had a housewarming party, I put a bunch of googly eyes in a bowl and instructed everyone to become googly eye terrorists in my new house.
It was really fun, and a great surprise to find all my eggs googly-eyed with pieces of paper with pleas for help written on them.
Still finding them to this day.
