Plastic bags don't do much more than literally break down into smaller pieces. The plastic remains.

Much like my psyche - scattered to the either but refusing to just die.

plastic bags are made of dead dinosaurs, and you ain't no Trex

Also I'm skeptical of the claim of a plastic bag breaking down in 10-20 years.

Yeah that seems wrong. And what does it break down into? Microplastics?

Once I was going out with someone, and her step dad had hearing problems and slurred speech.
When I introduced myself to him, he misheard my name as 't-rex' yet when he repeated it, I thought he was saying my name.

This went on for two years, until finally in conversation he mentioned that my name is t rex, which led to the hilarious realisation and correction.
Apparently he didn't question it because he thought that's a young person thing and left it at that haha. Fair enough.

These bots are getting more inane every day. Sure wish the mods would do something about it

What about this seems like bot content? It looks like an Instagram story photo with self-deprecating text, appropriately posted to me_irl?
