Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Bitch could literally turn back time
How many rounds around earth til un-inventing plastic?

1 turn = 1 day
Completely artificial plastic was invented in 1907 - 118 years ago.
1 year = 365 days
118 years x 365 days = 43,070 days
So 43,071 rounds should do it, and then just clonk Leo Baekeland over the head or something.
Oh no, you didn't account for leap days. I believe there's been 30 since 1907, so you'll need to add to your total, and maybe a few extra buffer days to make sure everyone knows why you've done this so that no one else invents completely artificial plastic either.
