Then would I be as close to reality as you?

Well I certainly can't answer you definitively as the nature and scope of reality is certain to be of such magnitude that I can hardly be expected to have grasped any but a very small portion as is the place of my species. However I have to grant that you may be very much farther advanced, in some direction or other, than I am. Of course you may actually be far more real than I. Maybe a definition of real would help.

Of course it is. Since all the garbage came from the earth, every stinking piece of it gets back to it's origin. Recycled for certain and undeniable. You are clearly under the influence of the recycling lie. A diabolical plot that has hypnotized millions.

Everything returns to that which it once came. However, the time scales, in some cases, are a little inconvenient. And the volumes we deal with. In Olde Londond Town they used to just dump their sewage from buckets into the street. I'm sure that the prevailing wisdom at teh time was that it all goes back to its origin. Which of course it did, except that it caused massive disease and death in the interim.

Then there was the Great Smog of London in 1952. Again, all that soot and coal dust would have eventually dispersed and been broken down by various physical and biological processes. But for the period of time it was stuck over top of London, it killed thousaedsn (or, to be perfectly correct, ended thousands of lives earlier than they otherwise would have ended).

Separating waste streams makes sense. Nature does it. It's highly efficient.

That is awesome. I'm totally using it.

I refuse to answer.

All very true but did the earth suffer because of it? I think the time scale you mentioned would supply a resounding no. It is called earth day not human day after all.


All joking aside I do support recycling but.

The earth accumulates matter. It is thirty percent bigger then when dinosaurs and giants lived.
Nope. The estimated figure is that Earth accumulates about 0.000000000000000001 kg per day. In 4.5 billion years from now, Earth will only have grown by about 0.0042%. The Triassic period was only 200 to 250 million years ago and Earth could not have grown by 30% in that short of timespan.

Could not! You don't pay any attention to science in the wild do you. Several weeks ago you watched a geesus big heavy plasma ball touch down in Russia didn't you. I believe it was several hundred tons if I'm not mistaken. You need a revised edition of whatever fact book you're using. Sagan was an idiot. And don't you dare argue with me about the physics of trees putting on weight by sucking up sunlight.

You know what? Almost everyday is some kind of Day. How many people even pay attention anymore? I don't.

Pay day now there's a day we can all get behind eh, beer for the whole crew barkeep.

Ah, so you call the nonsense you spew "wild science". Then, no I don't pay it much attention.
Several weeks ago you watched a geesus big heavy plasma ball touch down in Russia didn't you.
If that is a question, the answer is "yes".

You can believe whatever you wish to believe. It's impractical and a bit delusional to expect people to believe what you do, though.

Ah, something that makes sense.
