Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Can't believe I'm recommending this, but Veritaseum just put out a rather good video the other day about the history of the PFAS problem and how pervasive it is, info about the dangers. Long story short, I guess we all get to look forward to some thyroid cancer.
This video is worth sharing as agitprop alongside the news story. It's a good summary of the situation and pretty entertaining considering the subject.
Extrwmely fortuitous timing for Veritaserum, because this video looks like it took months to shoot and edit
I do like Veritaseum in part because their production quality is at the level of the old Discovery channel or 2000s TV in general when it was more documentary style than the reality tv style it became in the 2010s and ever since. I'm glad someone is still making quality nerdy, informative shit I can watch.
He sold out when he made the self driving car video which was just an advertisement for a shitty company though...
Ooh I did not see that. What a shame
Just watched it yesterday and it’s well done. I was definitely surprised about the assessment that nonstick/Teflon cookware is not the primary source of contamination most likely due to the size of the molecules apparently.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
