Microplastics found in every human semen sample tested in study

That’s pretty crazy, if you imagine sex ed and how you’re taught sperm exits your body. That plastic made quite a journey.

That explains the taste.

And they laughed at me about Morgellons!

“Chinese scientists”. 😂

is paint to blame? how much acrylic paint goes down the drain at the end of your average art class? that's all plastic, but now in a liquid form. I'm sure anything involving plastic-based paints, especially when used for large industrustrial jobs, contributes to microplastic in all of our cum.

r4 This research article was published in one of the top journals in the field of environmental science, and Chinese researchers are pretty strong in natural sciences. If you're not even remotely familiar with the current state of scientific publishing, it's probably best not to comment, or you'll just embarrass yourself.

There is so much more microplastic in the everyday items we use, like shampoo and face creams. Whenever you see "carbomer, glycol, polyquaternium, polyacrylate, PEG, poloxamer..." or something similar on the ingredients list, that's a microplastic. It's even in some toothpaste, for some reason.

Explains why I don’t blow Italian or Chinese guys

Italians have the best dicks. Your loss. I’ll happily take a bit of plastic for fat Italian sausage and big balls! 🤤

Yeah, they’re also pretty strong is starting a pandemic. They’re commies. They’re not to be trusted under any circumstance.

These materials and “forever chemicals” are getting ahead of our ability to protect humans from their impact. I’m glad I’m not young right now. At 59, I grew up and had my adult life in a timeframe where I could do and earn more than this next generation will be able to (or at least most of them).

We really did fuck things up with our appetite for “slick and quick” fashions, foods, technologies. We are pretty estranged from basic ideas related to consumption, conservation, systems thinking. I feel bad for so many younger “black box thinkers” who don’t know how to fix anything but instead are programmed to throw things away and buy more crap.

They can't just spit that out?

R7 - why are yo worried about sperm count?

Did the Chinese remember to take the condoms off?

Is this why every young family now seems to have at least one child on the spectrum?

R14 I think it’s fair to wonder about neurobehavioral impacts of environmental toxins, particularly prenatal exposure to certain compounds like polybisphenolic coatings on sales slips. The coating on sales receipts is said to pass through your skin into your bloodstream. CVS typically spools out three feet of sales receipt (“$1 off your next purchase of $35 razor blades”).

Avoid plastic water bottles.

R6 what do want people to do? If you stop using plastics, it won't make it go away, it's never going away. I get tired of hearing the whining, there is NOTHING to be done now.

It's just like recycling, I hear north Texas is still "recycling" except it really goes to the landfill, recycler and landfill is one entity, you know what happens.
