Plastic doesn’t decompose, our bodies do. Fellas I think we found the key to immortality. We must become one with the plastic.
Good, hopefully the plastics will eventually replace the gray matter entirely.
No, plastic in the brain will not replace gray matter. Microplastics can be harmful and cause inflammation, cell damage, and other health issues, but they won’t substitute or transform brain tissue.
You mean you shouldn’t listen to the Neuralink guy about the 5g in vaccines?
What’s the impact exactly?
They say microplastics are in every organism, everywhere. Seems like a large enough sample size that we should have an idea of what kind of damage they do?
Sample size isn’t the problem. The problem is we don’t have a control group to compare against. Ideally, you’d compare people with micro plastics to people without them, but those people don’t really exist anymore.

… brain tissue from people who had been diagnosed with dementia had up to 10 times as much plastic in their brains as everyone else, Campen said. But while there is a clear correlation, the study design cannot show whether higher levels of plastic in the brain caused the dementia symptoms – they may simply accumulate more due to the disease process itself, he said.
Blood donation can help reduce Micoplastics and PFAS in your blood. So if you haven’t given blood in a while it’s worth it for a personal benefit as well as a social one.
The plague doctors were right. We must bleed to remove the bad humors (microplastics).
Yep but at least we are smart enough to not let that blood go down the drain this time.
My government refuses me to give blood, because I consume weed.
Blood donation can help reduce Micoplastics and PFAS in your blood.
How? By just removing the plastics with your blood and forcing your body to make new blood? Wouldn’t that mean the microplastics just go to the recipient of your blood donation?
Archeologists going to be so confused
Too much shitposting in this thread.
“Our Brain”? So we’re down to just one to share amongst us now? But, but… I don’t wanna be a Republican!!!
I didn’t know we had a brain.
I thought we were an autonomous collective.
