So... Toothpaste from today... Will be around 488 years longer than humanity? ~AOC/THUNBERG

[@oralcareclub2762]

That’s a scary thought. But on the bright side… I will get to retire a little earlier than I thought.

[@mkstar2120]

Common toothpaste was invented in the 1850s thats a hypothesis my guy

[@oralcareclub2762]

Yes it is.

[@robideals685]

So what? They will degrade get over it.

[@oralcareclub2762]

I’ll do my best.

you look lile bill burr when he was on breaking bad

[@oralcareclub2762]

HAHA. I've been told that I look like Bill Burr AND Walter White. Thanks for the comment.

[@neon-genesis5088]

you look in that video exactly like bill burr in the breaking bad train heist you even got the same clothes

[@ParkTheSnark]

@@neon-genesis5088lol I was like why is bill burr talking about toothpaste as I was waiting for my earbuds to connect.

[@HHH-xj1tm]

Yes. Let's all stop brushing our teeth...

[@oralcareclub2762]

Well ... I didn't say that. I said stop brushing your teeth ....... with toothpaste. As a dentist I still want you to brush your teeth. Just with something else. Stay tuned.

[@Idle_Cerberus]

​@@oralcareclub2762yeah not too many widely accessible options for that now is there?

[@Justa9120]

I won't even go there

[@oralcareclub2762]

Do you think the numbers are overestimated?

[@Justa9120]

@@oralcareclub2762 it could be less it could be more I don't know I'm not going to be around in 500 years neither will you. Hopefully before then somebody will come up with something I'm just a truck driver trying to make a living I'm not looking up to change the world.

Hey man as long as the pollution is in some Chinese kids back yard and not mine I’m chilling

[@oralcareclub2762]

Well, we all have our boundaries.

[@Justa9120]

And your point is

[@oralcareclub2762]

My point is that as a dentist for over 20 years, I have seen far too many toothpaste, tubes thrown away, and I believe I’ve come up with a better way to do things.

[@Justa9120]

@@oralcareclub2762 I don't want to sound ignorant a box of Arm & Hammer baking soda on the sink

[@oralcareclub2762]

@@Justa9120 that’s actually not ignorant at all. I wish more people knew that that was a possibility. Most people just thoughtlessly walk into the healthcare section of Walmart, and they see something called “toothpaste” and think it’s their only option. You are smarter than most.

[@chesster5981]

It’s not even long

[@oralcareclub2762]

Hundreds of years isn’t long …. for who?

[@Bonde7280]

And the site those numbers are from, which your head conveniently is blocking. Is owned and run by a zoo.... Why not just go all in and follow the sites that tell you it takes a plastic bag 1000 years to decompose? The site you are referencing numbers from, just took the official numbers that say plastic can take between 20 to 500 years to decompose. Then went "It can take up to 500 years" That face you are making in the end, makes you look real silly right about now.

[@oralcareclub2762]

Ok, lets say it takes 400 LESS years then they are saying. So lets say they got it around 80% wrong. Is 100 years still ok? All i'm saying is that IF there is a better way than tubes why not give it a try?
