     @snacks @arcana @druid or we could just throw it away and or give it to toothpaste companies instead of dumping into water and telling people its for their teeth

     @snacks @arcana @druid idk, i thought they had to put flouride in at like the last step, I thought flouride would just sink into the ground/whereever the water is otherwise and distillation is the only way to remove it. Most waste water gets evaporated and re dropped a few times i thought.

     @snacks @arcana @druid they dont distill it, but waste water i thought often just washed into the ocean or a marsh or similar, at that point its back in the environment and the cycle of water restarts. It evaporates, then the water source receives water through tributeries, rain, etc.

     @eemmaa @arcana @druid then it would just accumulate in the oeans and end up in our food ig? Unless it reacts with some other minreals and turns into sediment or deposits naturally for some reason

     @snacks @arcana @druid i found some study on it, apparently it survives well in ground water, so we are fucked. Rainwater largely dilutes it like i thought, but there is a limit. c

     @druid @arcana @eemmaa not if it's properly biodegradable, glass and many metals also don't cause issues as their unprocessed forms super common anyway

     @snacks @eemmaa @arcana Isn't that what happens to everything we throw "away", all the time?

     @druid @arcana @eemmaa glass should only be an issue if a larger piece broke very recently, no?

     @snacks @arcana @eemmaa That's not quite true, it might make sense chemically but the processed glass and metal that we throw away ends up fucking with wildlife anyway. I don't wanna go look at pictures of dying animals so I'm not googling it. :(

     @druid @arcana @eemmaa but yeah, was talking about long term effects, a rusty nail or a sharp shard of glass can still cause issues

     @snacks @arcana @eemmaa I'm honestly not sure, I doubt ground-up glass in the environment is doing any good :(

     @druid @arcana @snacks ideally its just silica, but i suppose there is a possibility of contaminants on/in the glass
