The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

"Tiny shards" probably isn't the right term to describe particles 20-200 nanometers wide, but this is probably bad nonetheless.

Wasn't scared about microplastics before this headline so it's effective.

So like, could I find out who owns the rights to a plastic in me and then invoice them for the storage until they come and collect their goods?

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 months ago

they send an intern with a spork.

[–] Pirasp@lemmy.world 32 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I want to be told, when they don't find micro plastics somewhere.

I wonder if any of the Venus landers had plastic parts.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago (2 children)

maybe this will finally motivate all the idiot men in congress to do something about plastic pollution. (and maybe climate change in general.)

They don't care, they already know they're impotent..

[–] MrStankov@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Nah, they've had their kids, they don't care.

Oh I thought this was going to be a recall.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

But wait, there's more! Wait until the ovary recall announcement!

"tiny plastic shards found in human testicles"

Yeah, it was a rough night.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 1 points 5 months ago

They need to stop checking out our balls.

For science, of course.

So, on the positive side, we'll now have extra protection for the boys?
