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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

“You can draw a line – it’s increasing over time. It’s consistent with what you’re seeing in the environment,”
We use plastic for everything, and that trend hasn't slowed. Over time plastics and their mini-bits have been found in every part of the planet, in the soil and air, deep in a glacier, you name it. There is no avoiding it. Everything you touch, eat, drink, and wear at some point will contain these forever chemical plastics.
plastics are not "forever chemicals" god that term fucking sucks
Hope you have a better day tomorrow.
They should have just called them polyfluoroalkyls or something, but no "forever chemicals" just sounds more like dooooooooooomm
i can appreciate journalists can't say technical words but the emphasis is on the wrong characteristic and clearly people confuse the term for other things that are long-lasting. couldda called em cancer juice
