Have protected sex even if you only have access to non-biodegradable condoms, getting antibiotic resistant chlamydia isn’t going to save the planet.
Also from an environmental perspective, having a child is about the worst thing you can do compared to…using a fucking condom lmao.
Vasectomy
I can’t recommend this highly enough if you’re never planning on having a kid or if you’re done having kids. I am a huge weenie when it comes to medical procedures and mine was super simple. I was sore for a few days, did my follow up, and that was it.
I still use condoms because of STDs but I never have to worry about accidentally having a kid if a condom breaks.
it’s the bees knees when you’re married - cream pies all day, every day
I hear ya
Not to mention your wife’s boyfriend will buy you a Nintendo Switch.
One baby can go through 6,000 diapers until potty trained.
One condom vs 6,000 diapers. I think your right about the condom doing less damage to the environment.
Just use the washable ones, made from organic cotton. Lower environmental impact, shorter time until potty trained as well on average. Still not as good as not putting extra people on the planet though 😁
kill the baby.
Wellll
If it kills you early, it is certainly good on the climate
Chlamydia and all other stds are biodegradable
or just be a based virgin and don’t have sex. That would’ve been the funny answer.
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.
Polyurethane also biodegrades, just very slowly. Since condoms are very thin there will be not much left of them after a century
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.
“If you care about the planet, be sure to cut down on this product that contributes 0.01% of all plastic waste”
You need a few more zeros there.
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.
STDs are biodegradable too
They’re natural. They’re from the Earth.
I start my day with a bowlful yim yum
Sheep intestine condoms ftw!
/s
This, but un-sarcastically.
Would be an interesting boost to the Sheep industry.
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 😁
They’re not as good at preventing STDs, but they’re decent at preventing pregnancy.
Isn’t all latex biodegradable? It’s cured tree sap.
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
We didn’t find anything about Nirtrile and protection. Could you clarify?
That’s…not how chemistry works.
Nah, they’re full of microplastics these days.
This is incorrect now, there are some which are.
Say gex!

Ah… 2019… The year of the distortion memes.
You see, it’s funnier because the letters are being silly.
for me the distortion adds to the meme because it changes how I pronounce the second part in my mind. because of the distortion I read it with a rising and falling tone or whatever it’s called, which made it a lot funnier.
this is why you should do as old times and use sheep intestines as condoms
Any vegan alternatives?
latex is plant based i think
HIV is not biodegradable once it’s inside you
HIV becomes part of you so kinda.
HIV speeds up your recycling (especially untreated) so it’s quicker recycling than an unmodified human
lol what a wild ride.
Are progesterone pills biodegradable?
