It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

If something is ever done to reduce microplastic exposure, will the crime rate go down even further?
Well lead already has a known correlation with violence (I forget why exactly, but it's a thing). So reduced exposure would logically make sense to see a reduction in violence.
I dunno if microplastics are correlated with violence. From what I remember (and I'm too lazy to look) it causes a bunch of issues like "peepee no work" and maybe cancer and other genetic damage. Not sure about making people more prone to violence though.
Maybe the mixture of no "rage fuel" from lead plus all the males' testes collectively shriveling like prunes due to microplastics created generations of soyboys 🤔 (the Heritage foundation can DM me for payment info if they wanna run this conspiracy theory.)
I read that there were attempts to test the effects of microplastics on humans, but we cannot truly do any research on this, because we cannot find a control group.
Congratulations on somehow being one of the most depressing things I've thought of today
