Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Plastic has been the best and worst invention in human existence. We need a replacement for this asap.

Lmfao

We're totally boned.

How the fuck are micro plastics getting into the brain?

Via our blood

More importantly, how are we getting them out?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Most plastic melts at between 200°C and 320°C. So... Uh. Let's fire up those ovens, baby.

I suggest we start with Dupont and 3M executives to field test the removal process - since they're cool with testing their products on us.

Additional suggestions encouraged. Coke-Amatil? Tyre manufacturers?

There's bacteria that can eat plastics. Lets hope they don't eat brain too.

Attach your brain to a 3D printer. Make some use of all that plastic and print your thoughts. /j

I don't think that's an option, given that they keep increasing

So is it possible the blood-brain barrier is designed to trap nanoparticles? They do exist in nature.

Maybe that's why I'm so tired.
