Two problems with this:

  • Dinosaurs didn't really turn into oil, plankton did (thanks teaching me, Beakman's World)

  • Plastic is often made from a natural gas processing byproduct

The actual dinosaurs made from dinosaurs would be dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets

So... What came first? The plastic or the egg?

Confirmed, oil is vegan.

[–] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ever heard of zooplankton?

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Shhh! Vegan is an option, not a mandate!

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hey, eat as much plastic as you want. Live a little

I prefer to chug my oil, crude.
