Apparently the hypothetical future humanoids, somehow ignorant of all prior history, who will, ignoring all warning signs, start eating as much of the waste as fast as possible, then ignoring the obvious connection between eating that stuff and getting sick...
I wish I was kidding, but the argument does seem to be "what if 100_000 years from now somebody digs this stuff up and a few people get sick or die".
It's concern trolling at its worst.

- awesome_dude 4mo agoWe don't have a lot of technology that we knew existed in earlier civilisations - the Aztecs, Mayans, pueblo peoples, the Easter islanders, to name just a few were doing things we have no idea how to do

- bethekidyouwant 4mo agoWhat do pre-pottery people B have to do with an advanced civilization collectively forgetting how to make a giger counter?
- awesome_dude 4mo ago"Advanced civilization" Every civilisation for the last million years has categorised itself thus, and, yet, here we are without their technology. We still don't know how the Romans made a concrete that is as durable as it is (and nothing we have is nearly as good)
- bethekidyouwant 4mo agowhat does artisanal concrete have to do with collectively forgetting how to make a giger counter?
- awesome_dude 4mo agoYes - what does civilisations forgetting how to make the best known concrete on the planet have to do with forgetting how to make a GEIGER counter You cannot even spell the damned name properly.
