Bah. I dont care about lead, microplastics or even covid.
Chernobyl and mad cow-disease are my jam.
Boomers had/have microplastics and lead poisoning. This is not a conspiracy, it is just a fact.
Nah, vaping will be the Gen z all have lead poisoning of Gen z.
Cannabis.
It's basically mental health disorders in herbal form.
Public opinion is finally starting to shift from its a panacea to it's a drug, in the face of decriminalization throughout areas of North America.
I smoke weed and I also work in the field of addiction recovery, so pls don't start the anti science denialism in reply to me.
anti science denialism
Wouldn't anti science denialism just be science avocation? 😆
Go yell at the clouds some more old man, but in this case, those would be vape clouds so you better get out quickly because they disappear like mad

Can someone tell me what microplastics do to the body? I’m almost too afraid to ask at this point.
That's the neat thing: nobody can. It's incredibly hard to devise a study that can show anything about it. There is no way to get a human without microplastics in them to get a control group, and by this point as far as I know there is no plausible theory to get a specific study.
Everyone kinda suspects that it can't be good for you, simultaneously there is zero actual evidence that something is ever happening. We don't know, and that's very frustrating.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
