All those paragraphs "plastic bad" before they get to the point.

Here's one; City University of Hong Kong found that a clothes dryer releases up to 561,810 microfibers during 15 minutes of use,


So don't buy acrylic fleece.

Why doesn't the headline say "don't buy acrylic fleece?"

And then a couple of paragraphs down from there they drop the bomb that N95 masks have been proven to release microfibers. They really drag it out.

I wonder what the plastic content is in a cigarette filter.

They're made of different things depending on who makes them.

Grampa who started smoking at 12 and got bitched out 80 for smoking probably had a lot of fibreglass filters on his pack a day habit.

Oh, look, another fear mongering headline about something you can do very little about. Lets' ramp the anxiety up a little more. Can't have people live happily. They've got to worry about every moment of their existence.

[ - ] Spaceman84 [op] 2 points 3.0 yearsMay 20, 2022 20:05:36 ago (+2/-0)

Can do very little about? Avoid plastic by whatever means necessary. You must mean it would be inconvenient to avoid plastic.

Probably your testicles. Can't be good consuming all of those estrogenic chemicals.

[ - ] Centaurus 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 22, 2022 13:17:41 ago (+1/-0)

The smaller his testicles are, the bigger his dick looks. It's all about the aesthetics.

I bet the apocalypse comes through plastic eating bacteria in human gut.

I'm just fortifying my bones, OP. Don't shame me

Women have osteoporosis. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by elevating your estrogen. Are you transitioning? If you're not shooting nanoplastic into your veins to test bone durability I can't take you seriously. Consider getting a marrow transplant from a Ken doll. Maybe it'll boost your T levels.

"Consider getting a marrow transplant from a Ken doll."

You should get a testicle transplant from one

Oh wait, that'll just be more of your current situation
