Hello and welcome to Sci Guys, the show where we talk about the crazy, weird, and wonderful

stories from the science world.

I'm Corey, and as always, I'm joined by my co-host, Ethan Rupertellia.

Hello, why was that question?

Thank you. Ethan Rupertellia? Hello? Why was that a question? This week we're talking about polishing off plastics.

But first, we've got to thank all of our new patrons.

Thank you, patrons.

We really want to thank you. And if you want to be a patron,

head over to Patreon. And if you do go to there, you can vote for topics like the one that we're

talking about today and submit them and all of the, look, just go and read to the Patreon stuff. Okay,

it tells you everything over there. But I'm going to tell you one thing right now. And the thing I'm going to tell you is I'm going to ask you a question.

Now, if you're watching on YouTube, head down to the comments. If you're listening on Spotify,

head down to the spotterments. And if you are listening anywhere else, here is what I want

you to do. Destroy the world. But don't do it quickly. Do it very, very slowly. Create long chain

polymers. Use them everywhere. Break them down. Turn them into tiny microscopic things that poison everything. Um, I don't really know where to go from this. Then you could, I don't know, ask a sailor to tell me. I'm in, I'm in good with the sailors. The question is,

what's your favorite food? Plastic. That's very unhealthy, but good to know. Yeah. So,

obviously, we're talking about plastic today, but not just plastic, we're talking about a plastic

eating bacteria, because in 2001, Japanese scientists discovered something mental when they

looked at a plastic recycling plant. They found a little bacteria, you know, like an average

size, but they found bacteria, okay, eating plastic bottles, digesting them. That's pretty cool.

That's pretty cool. That's pretty great. That's the episode. Yeah. See ya. Bye. No, so we're obviously going to be talking about this plastic heating bacteria because our patrons have demanded that we do it. And unfortunately, we must bow to democracy's whims. Yep. I've seen the hostage note. It's not great.

Almost exclusively from Hello magazine, though, all the little off-cuttings. so I don't know what that was about. Yeah, I know, right?
