I’m Fleur, feminine guy trying out lemmy. Pronouns don’t bother me use whatever you’re comfortable with :)

My dream is to have a full body mirror that reflects a better background than gym equipment.

  • From my understanding of the study they used an unverified method on a small part of the brain to get the amount of plastic in the entire brain. Which can be misleading because if you only look at the parts of the brain that are microplastics, the brain is 100% plastic. There hasn’t been widespread replication of the results yet either nor has the paper been peer reviewed.

    I’m sceptical especially with the microplastic doomer narrative going around. As far as I know the danger of microplastics on the human body is yet to be determined. But it’s definitely alarming I just don’t think it’s responsible to be saying there’s a credit card in your brain.









  • Yeah I’m always confused by the people who are like the downvote button is for off topic discussions. Like no that’s reporting and functionally the downvote button is the “I had a negative reaction to this button” and the up vote is the “I had a positive reaction to this button”

    Personally I don’t downvote anyone because it just feels petty and pointless. Some of my favorite comments have loads of downvotes and to me it just makes whatever dumb shit I said funnier
