  • I was there. You were kind of obnoxious after the 6th beer, but it was pretty entertaining during the 10th when you tried yelling at the tablet kiosk at your table to bring you more drinks because you were too drunk to accurately tap on it anymore and the waiter had to come take it away from you, which is when you showed him your ninja fighting moves and karate-chopped a plate of chips.

  • 19% of US adults admit to peeing in public pools. How many of those people also prepare our foods. How many of those people also don’t wash their hands because they don’t think it’s a big deal.

    The more I think about food standards in the US, the more disgusted and frightened I become.

  • Honest answer? Grow your own food or buy produce from your local co-op. Don’t order food from amazon or any other sketchy online store. Seek out international products that come from the EU or a country that still has real food safety standards. Never eat at chain restaurants. Don’t eat at restaurants that have low business because they will most likely cut corners on food quality and proper cleaning. Wash your produce and pray that it contains a low level of PFAS.

    We can also channel our rage into something productive, such as passing local and state laws on improving food safety standards, and limiting farmers from growing crops in PFAS-contaminated soils.

    Food safety standards in the US are pretty awful. Lack of food safety is exactly the type of problem a government should exist to solve, yet the billionaires and the orange felon are happy to poison everyone as long as our deaths are slow enough to not interfere with their profits.

  • I think relocation (and getting people comfortable with their tax dollars going towards it) would work better if the US states weren't so ideologically divided.

    There is no way I want the average republican relocating to my state, let alone wanting to pay for such punishment.

  • Your tea bag is likely releasing billions of microplastic particles, according to a new study

    Jump

  • Still, how much micro plastics are we not getting from plastic cups, bottles, door wrapping etc? Too much lol

    Yeah, that's the thing! It's near impossible to quantify not only the number and size of plastic particles being released, but also from what sources and how impactful it is on our health over time. There are so many variables involved.

    I like the idea of the guppy bags, but honestly we need strict government regulation around the world to make a real difference in stopping plastic and PFAS pollution/contamination.

  • Glass is by far superior but shipping it is more costly and results in more breakage.

    All aluminum food and drink containers still have a plastic liner in them to avoid corrosion. Still way better than fully plastic containers for most uses though.

  • So here's one (potentially major) issue with these bags:

    While the bag catches a lot of microplastics, it is also leaving a lot more in your clothes because they were washed and contained in that bag. Where do those loosened microplastics on your clothes go? Either into the dryer (or outdoor line-dry) and expelled into the air, or you indoor line-dry your clothes and release more microplastics as you wear your clothes, breathing them in as you go about your day.

    So people would essentially be paying $35 a bag to slightly improve wastewater at the expense of increased air pollution. If you indoor line-dry those clothes, you put your own health (and potentially the health of those around you) at greater risk.

    The only non-polluting solution at this point is to not buy, wear, or launder any plastics-based fabrics. This includes polyester (a lot of people apparently are unaware of this).

  • I believe there was a study that plastic bottle cap seals release tens or hundreds of thousands of plastic particles upon breaking open, however I don't think they would be visible to the naked eye. More likely you are seeing dried up particles of whatever liquid is inside the container.

    Disgusting money driven mindset

  • This is exactly the kind of behavior that modern capitalism produces: money, power, and growth at any cost. Other humans are no longer people or equals, they are tools. Morals and ethics must be left behind to "succeed".

  • Take the computer from a real artist, they can still make art. Do the same to an AI "artist" and see how long they keep claiming to be such.

  • Can confirm. I mock subway for calling their employees "artists".

    Also, if they can't meet the legal Irish definition of bread, then they certainly shouldn't be calling the whole thing a sandwich. That "ham" wasn't sliced, it was extruded into that shape.

  • His statements — including Holocaust denial, racist denunciations of Muslims and immigrants, and a proposal to round up people with AIDS — shocked his critics and strained his political alliances. Le Pen routinely countered that he was simply a patriot protecting the identity of “eternal France.”

    Wow. Very glad he is gone.
