I read donating blood helps. Give those microplastics to another sucker.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think practically your grandfather was full of all three but did only know about asbestos. Who knows what else we are full of;D

Those plastics in the image are around 1 or 0.5mm, meaning milimeter. Micro from micro plastic implies they are 1000 times smaller.

Bad image, reeeeeee.

Sir, this is a Lemmy Shitpost.

[–] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 weeks ago

Lead makes you dumb, plastic makes you gay, asbestos makes you fireproof.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

At my age, it's lead and microplastics. It's a miracle I'm as healthy as I am.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Macroplastics is the way to go - straight from the source, cutting out the middlemen

[–] free_tiddies@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Im full of microplastic and looking for someone to chat cause Im bored

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Many of us are also occasionally full of macroplastics.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Apparently, hospitals are removing many of these from people's rectums on a regular basis.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

What a con! That's already an out hole. That's like charging farmers to remove eggs from chickens. It'll come out eventually!

Big big /S

And your son will be full of GLP-1 when they figure it out it fucks your body up in 10 years.

[–] manuremy@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think it's already known to at least cause like intestinal paralysis? I might be fat and all, but I prefer non-paralised bowels..

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

What are you, a chicken? koo koo kachow, koo koo kachow!

[–] Khruks@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Except unlike the others, last I read microplastics do actually pass out of our body, we just keep ingesting them faster than we pass them.

I’ll take it over Lead and asbestos (though ideally none)

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you sure. I've read they keep collecting in various organs, including our brains

[–] Khruks@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m not a scientist, but that’s what I understand to be true, it doesn’t collect and build up so much as is just constantly coming in from our environment

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Interesting, and also hopeful if that's the case. That's much a much better situation than if we couldn't get them out of our body at all.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

New dating site, microplasticsonly.com

And all those generations are suffering increased radiation from all the nuclear bomb testing that's been happening over the last several generations!

[–] vane@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Damn I am 3 in 1. Asbestos roof, lead gasoline and microplastic in my balls.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

We so full of shit.

[–] hash@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not to get too serious for a shitpost sub, but has anyone seen a solid analysis of microplastics anywhere? I'm talking review of recent science, discussion on types of plastics and sources indicated by research?

[–] gh0stcassette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)
[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

Me, who was playing with lead and asbestos in my teens eating microplastics everyday

[–] blackberry28@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)
