    But then you realize what you ordered isn't self-stick and you are disappoint.

    Then you realize that you can now use those double barrel self mix tubes of epoxy so the eyes will never come off.

    What, pray tell, is satanic about permanent googly eyes?

    You get enough of them, and it even becomes a biblically accurate angel, not satanic in the slightest.

    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.

    Sometimes self care means bulk ordering googly eyes with the intent of teaching the next generation the joy of vandalism

    I got gigantic ones and then stuck them on the toilet cistern. To quote a friend "i hate how it keeps making eye contact when i piss in it"

    I once ordered a box of different sizes. Comes handy, occasionally.

    It's too bad they don't sell them as stickers . Like on a sheet.

    They do, but I've found those difficult to carry and you lose then when the sheet buckles.

    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.

    Finally, something I can get on board with!

    Earthquake detection kit.

    On a serious note, my issue with these is that they're plastic and when they eventually fall off they'll become litter.

    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.

    Thank you googly eyes.

    Yes, yes it is. With all the other shit going on you think plastics is the thing that’s gonna kill us? World war 3 is literally already starting and a pedophile rapist with fucking Alzheimer’s and a narcissism complex has the fucking nuclear football - but don’t 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

    Thinking that pessimistically removes any chance of actually making the world better.

    Microplastics and environmental threats are just as big of a deal as ww3.

    I’m 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 I’m gonna hit that first. Can’t 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 isn’t 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 won’t solve microplastics while the people in power won’t do anything about it. And they are too busy with dividing up the globe and planning mass executions to be bothered with something that isn’t going to affect them at all.

    But whatever man. You keep putting your effort into whatever floats your boat. I’m sure you’ll 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

    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, what’s 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.

    You take things step by step. You don't fix everything at once, but beginning and continuing a variety of initiatives against a variety of threats more easily allows you to scale up those efforts as threats grow closer. It's a lot easier to do something if you cut it up. And early starting allows easier starts.

    You think that just because something is further in the future that it should be disregarded, but in reality small, fairly low effort approaches started sooner will former a much stronger base in facing threats as opposed to pretending only the closest is a real one.

    And this is just plain doomest, as well as wrong, for now.

    Yea not seeing a single plan there. Just a lot of naivety of the current state of the world. But cool whatever, keep doing exactly the same thing that hasn’t worked again and again, I’m sure it’ll work this time.

    I’d rather full-ass one thing then half-ass a dozen

    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]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory

    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.

    I feel really bad about my 6 3d printers now.

    No I don’t. Look micro-plastics are bad, yea we all get that. But fucking read the room. We have way worse shit to worry about, this isn’t broken windows, this is watching billionaires fund far right politicians in every single “free” country so the can become the next queens and kings. This is watching innocent people get executed live on TV, it’s not isolated broken windows, the fucking neighborhood is burning and your the HOA president bitching about the lawn not being mowed.

    Yeah that's why I wanted to know context

    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.
