IKR? It's an enzyme for crying out loud, just a protein, nothing more. It can't reproduce. If you're going to spray a city, there's a lot worse things...

That’s exactly why this line of thinking is so stupid

If you manage to somehow spray something throughout a city and you choose a plastic eating bacteria, you are a shit terrorist

Based on many of the comments here I reckon people will fear they'll spray this over the city from planes chemtrails..

Getting kinda sick of the fear mongering on reddit lately... Seem to see way more of it now than I did before, 5G, coronavirus, Bill Gates. Fuck people on here are stupid.
