Twenty-four brain samples collected in early 2024 measured on average about 0.5% plastic by weight
here’s a list of all the things anyone will do about this:
And this will happen only if people will remember about it for more than one week!
Shit. So a quick search says a brain weighs 1.5kg and 0.5% is 7.5g. A credit card weighs about 5g. We have more plastic in our brains than there is in a card?
The article mentions that the quantity in 2024 was 50% higher than in 2016 - which is a high increase for just 8 years. This development probably doesn’t slow down, it may even get faster. How much plastic will be in our brains in another 8 years?
Shit.
Cool story. If there is nothing we can do about it you might just as well shut the fuck up.
Microplastics are in semen and dick tissue. Right wing conspiracy nuts go on and on about liberals putting shit in our drinking water to kill our fertility all while drinking distilled water out of a very shitty plastic bottle that had probably been sitting around for a couple years.
The right wing isn’t concerned about anything except expressing hate, taking rights away from people who are different than them, and controlling women and minorities.
WHATS WITH ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE GETTING CANCER AMIRITE
Bet it’s because they are all so lazy!
Too much avocado toast
The recent uptick in millennial colon cancer is believed to be caused by

Listen if she says “eat my ass while I text him, and I’ll consider unlocking your cock cage later” I’m eating ass, alright?
You could have at least read the article before posting it. Nowhere does it say that, and the article goes into quite a bit of detail on how the bacteria travel. Or is that too much to ask?
It was when I commented late last night. Thanks for the correction. I’ll edit for clarity.
Don’t worry, folks.
With climate change and soaring temperatures the plastics in us all will melt and turn us into toy versions of ourselves.
We will exist forever!

I had the pleasure of visiting the bodies exhibit and I gotta say, the bodies all being noticeably Asian really made me uneasy about where/how they were sourced and the ethics involved.
Otherwise it was a pretty cool exhibit.
We all remember that ad from the early 2000’s that was like, “Imagine a world without oil: all of these things made of plastic wouldn’t exist!” and a large part of the country was like “OMG could you imagine?!”
Lol we’re completely fucked. I thought the worst studies were about finding plastic in testicles but this is way worse
I mean I can have sex without testicles, but I hardly think i would be able to enjoy it much without a brain.
