Can someone smart clear this up for me? I thought distillation was the process of evaporating liquids then cooling them to form just the pure liquid on the other end, if this can happen in rain, could micro plastics find their way into distilled water too?
Evaporation ≠ distillation. Nature doesn’t have filters everywhere. That’s not to say that nature doesn’t have filters, but they are seemingly sparse in the air.
Maybe it’s more about sterile conditions then, in a glass tube you’re probably counting on the way that the water moves through it, I keep thinking back to the game raft and how they “distill” water, always made me wonder if it would really work

The Picard Maneuver
“Taste the rainbow” getting new meaning
“In 1804, Richard Trevithick developed the high pressure steam engine, unwhittingly dooming all of humanity.”
ol’ Dick Thicc we called ‘im
The first nobhead to pick up a stick to use as a tool kicked off a technological singularity and now we’re buggered.

Raindrops always condensate around a little dust particle referred to as nucleus, afaik
yeah, i’d think the nucleus for these raindrops were microplastic clouds
Horrific
oh don’t worry tomorrow has fresh new horrors unlike the ones we have at home

Distillation doesn’t use filters either

It’s actually not. It still carries all kinds of stuff
It could just be the wind that was hanging out in the same spot as the rain. Wind can carry stuff reeeeeaaaaaally far.
Me going back in time to meet Eduard Simon:
HEY ED CHECK OUT THIS COOL THING I GOT ITS CALLED A GUN MAKE THESE INSTEAD
peter nooooo
It’s rainin’ [green plastic army] men, Hallelujah!
Plastic is just gray goo in slow motion.
It doesn’t reproduce though.
It doesn’t have to if we keep producing new stuff that sinks into the environment and lingers there for eons.
Once we die out, it’s going to put a damper on all the biomes trying to recover from the Holocene extinction.
