This is incorrect now, there are some which are.
So are STDs.
Standard Deviations are not biodegradable
Star Trek: Discovery is not biodegradable.
Pretty sure the space mushrooms could degrade the fuck out of it
Neither is statistical thermodynamics
Santa Domingo Airport probably isn’t as well.
I dunno. Never been to Venezuela.
Kind of an unfortunate airport code, though.
“If you care about the planet, be sure to cut down on this product that contributes 0.01% of all plastic waste”
Why use plastic condoms? Latex is good.
Latex allergy, apparently that’s a thing.
In the past 2 decades vinyl ones have become a lot more common. I don’t know if there’s any difference in strength, but being hypoallergenic gives them a broader market.
You need a few more zeros there.
Nah, they’re full of microplastics these days.
What is the impact on the biosphere of a single person born in the West? Isn’t it something absurd like, detonating a nuclear bomb or two?
i dont know about that figure. It’s certainly more than the average third world individual, but then again i believe third world countries are some of the most polluting out there based on the resource extraction, so while the individual may not create a shit ton of pollution, all that mining sure does create a lot.
HIV is not biodegradable once it’s inside you
HIV becomes part of you so kinda.
lol what a wild ride.
just stay a virgin guys it’s really easy!!
Say gex!

Latex is natural rubber and is indeed biodegradable though it is slow to break down. Polyurethane condoms will probably be found in the archeological record.
I mean, true but they’re better than the styrofoam ones…
/s
(I know you’re joking but the builder in me is genuinely curious if you can make a rubber-like substance out of polystyrene)
Styrene is in the vynal family, Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene is used to make extremely expensive surgical gloves so I’m going to say yes.
I only use authentic Amish made sheep intestine condoms because they are definitely biodegradable.
And reusable!
and edible.
Polyurethane also biodegrades, just very slowly. Since condoms are very thin there will be not much left of them after a century
STDs are biodegradable too
They’re natural. They’re from the Earth.
I start my day with a bowlful yim yum
Over a long enough time span… everything returns to star dust
I, for one, am ready for the sun to consume us all.
I’m not. We need to get star lifting going, and turn the solar system into our command ship, using the sun as the engine, and structural basis.
“So after a million years of putting off adjustment maintenance, the size of the sun has grown to critical levels and it is now too late. We will be evacuating at the next solar system in 120 [MINUS FIVE] years and diverting all available resources to emergency maintenance in the mean time. This announcement is a recording.” Frickin’ humans, eons of progress and can’t even do eons of progress right.
Isn’t all latex biodegradable? It’s cured tree sap.
That’s…not how chemistry works.
Yes, however, it’s the other chemicals they mix it with that make it not biodegradable. Thankfully there are some companies not using those chemicals now which is lovely.
Also, for those who are allergic to latex, unfortunatley the only option is polyurethene which is plastic, and as such not at all biodegradable.
Nitrile is an option as well. They don’t contain the protein that triggers allergic reactions
Sheep intestine condoms ftw!

As long as it’s not still in the sheep.
I see you’re unaware of what goes on in New Zealand…
With love from across the Tasman 😁
Classic supporter of the Sheep-Sex-industrial complex… But not the Welsh kind.
This, but un-sarcastically.
Would be an interesting boost to the Sheep industry.
aren’t sheep about as bad as cows for the climate?
About as bad as any of the animals that can eat grass, wild or farmed
I don’t think so. But I think that that’s going to vary a lot based on how you want to measure “badness for the climate”.
My instinct is to look at Feed to Gain Ratio, which is the measure of food eaten to weight gained. This will vary animal to animal based on the animal’s purpose (meat cows vs dairy cows, meat lambs vs wool sheep, etc) and the type of food they’re fed.
Still, there are reliable bands for estimating for each animal. According to This Article, it looks like sheep can fall into a 4:1 to 6:1 ratio while cows are closer to 12:1 (this is a bit higher than I was taught in high school biology, but not by much). Of course, the higher these numbers, the “worse” the animal is for the environment.
They might have been asking about methane production, that’s a big topic for cattle because it’s a very potent greenhouse gas and having a lot of cattle produces a lot of methane - and it’s a byproduct of how their digestive systems work and all ruminants, sheep included, have that problem to some degree.
I wasn’t able to find a definitive answer, but per animal sheep aren’t as bad, but it’s due to their smaller size and if western countries kept eating the same amount of meat but ate more sheep (due to it being cheaper from the demand for sheep condoms, lol) instead of beef I’m not sure it would be better. (Replacing chicken with sheep would definitely be worse though.)
So what I’m hearing is that we just need to selectively breed people to have smaller penises so we can just use chicken intestines for condoms instead?
They’re not as good at preventing STDs, but they’re decent at preventing pregnancy.
Ah… 2019… The year of the distortion memes.
You see, it’s funnier because the letters are being silly.
