This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This would be a powerful Red Cross ad.
Lower your microplastics count. Donate blood so you can make more.
I wonder if they actually filter the blood that people donate. I know they test it, but it would be cool if they filtered it as well for various crap.
Could they even filter microplastics without just getting rid of all of the red blood cells? If they were big enough to be filtered without catching blood cells we would probably be seeing way more people getting actively and catasteophically screwed by them.
Here's one source about the size of microplastics:
And red blood cells are 6.2–8.2μm. So I wonder if some kind of sieve could filter anything smaller than 5μm or so. Then again, there's probably a bunch of other stuff in there as well, like white blood cells.
It's too bad that they're in the same range as important things...
