Right? Got micro plastics and lead particles going down the drain. We're a scourge to the planet. Who knew?

Now I’m going to use twice as many to keep pollution high

I think if you strain your used water through a cloth covid mask it will stop anything from entering the environment. Then once it’s filled with polluting and other contaminants you can just throw it in an ordinary trash can like normal medical waste.

Lol, I can't tell if you're being facetious or serious

This is truly troubling because I chew on a Magic Eraser every night for five minutes as part of my teeth-whitening regimen.

I hate these crap article headlines. I can't even find a link or mention to the actual scientists. I just see "scientists from Nanjing University". Do the bare minimum and give us the name of the paper or authors! I'm not asking for a full reference list, just respect the scientists you're writing about and give the audience something more.

Here's the actual paper. Its not interesting or attention grabbing, its just important incremental science figuring out what can kill us and what we should worry about. They don't clutch their pearls or say we need to immediately ban anything. They bring up biomagnification, the fact that organisms higher in the food chain will catch more of it down stream.

You did actual research? Do you even know how to use the internet? All the "facts" you ever need to know are

• click-throughs with a drama-laden message
• on your favorite podcast - but only if the podcaster has the same political ideology as you (like anyone would listen to a podcast with an opposing POV).
• Read in 15 seconds or less via a meme.

Internet research... Pfft! What is this, 1993?

So you’re telling me I should ask AI to do the research for me?
