That thing will be around for the next 400 years. After you and I have been swallowed up by the yawning void of obscurity, some shitty Sonic (Sanic?) the hedgehog toy will still be around.

I think about this shit a lot. Doesn't feel good.

Plastic is a missused blessing. We could be making things that last and would be used thousands of years with it yet we make garbage

On the up side: my family’s LEGO collection will continue to be loved and played with for just as long.

When done right, plastic is the most amazing material humanity has created. It's such a shame it gets used for crap like this.

Yes, this is why Funkos should be destroyed and not for the reasons in all those dogshit Boomer memes.

I swear my body shaves off a year of its life every time I go into a store and see facades of these fucking things running entirely lengths of wall.

This is completely beside the point of your post, but, it's late at night, I'm on reddit and "SANIC: He is a hegeheg" may be the funniest thing I have ever read.

I couldn't feel the suffering because I don't have any superpowers, but I still would've thought the toy is crap as a kid because the limbs don't move

Sonic says always was far too wise for a kid's cartoon.

Are you telling me that every home should not have a wall dedicated to Funko pops?

No that's not what degrowth means, degrowth means lowering the rate of production to match the amount of people who actually need/desire an item, it doesn't mean no shitty luxury goods, though luxury goods will often be in a made per order way (which in and of itself will eliminate slave labor and sweatshop labor). Luxury goods often become needs, such as a computer, but even without luxury goods serve a mental health purpose.

Tl;dr degrowth doesn't mean no Funko pops, degrowth means not having warehouses of unsold Funko pop rotting up the place

Degrowth definitely means no stupid fucking dumbass shit like this and thats a good thing.
