Nylon? To many things end with on.

funnily enough, that is a DuPont thing, but hasn't find its way into everyone's blood yet.

welp, guess this meme is even more true then.

Yeah, that's why I chose it haha.

Edit: I was just being salty in my original comment due to the meme being to vague and me being a chemist.

I'm not from the states but actually got to visit the DuPont plant that did nylon and Lycra. Also saw the river that once changed colour or something due to waste chemicals? I can't remember the story.

Regardless, I in no way support DuPont or any other company that is responsible for such damages as they have caused.

You're just not trying hard enough, it took me a while but i managed to jam it in there (very little room in my veins because of all the microplastics)

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Now do it with Lycra.

Except that they used the chemicals that do find their way into everyone's blood to make nylon. So it tangentially fits the meme.
