I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

>I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

Sources beyond dude just trust me, for the skeptics.

Scientists may have been unknowingly inflating microplastics pollution estimates, and the surprising source could be their own lab gloves. A

Ordinary Lab Gloves May Have Skewed Microplastic Data: That doesn’t mean microplastics aren’t a problem, though

mist-sterious

whats crazy is this is how the subreddit rlly is.

the assholes will word thier titles innocently like “am i the asshole for not making my toddler the dinner they wanted?” and then its a detailed account of them poisoning and nearly killing thier child, while a post like “am i the asshole for throwing my mother in law off a cliff” is a story of heroism where the OP used the last of thier strength to push thier mother in law off a small cliff into a body of water to save her from a swarm of mutant acid flamethrower killer bees.

aro-ace-from-outer-space22

Yeah no for real, the worse a title is on that place the better the poster almost always, and seeing an innocuous title is DEEPLY SUS

Example: “Am I the asshole for teaching my child about responsibility” <- this person killed their kid’s goldfish and made them watch because they were 0.2 seconds late taking out the garbage

“Am I the asshole for helping my girlfriend declutter” <- this guy threw away his girlfriend’s 100+ year old heirloom quilt, tore up her knitting project that took her three years, and burned a shoebox of photos and letters from her high school boyfriend who died tragically of cancer when they were 16

“Am I the asshole for almost killing my mother in law” <- this woman gave her mother in law the Heimlich when she was choking on a fishbone but it’s her fault because she was the one who said they should get takeout that night

Listen, I'm having fun playing with the ultra patriotic voice, but after a couple years in blue-collar landscaping jobs, you really do need to phrase things like that.

"I'm pretty sure that fella ain't here legally."

"Well, that ain't your business Chip, it's his."

They hate being preached to. If you pull out words like 'gender wage gap' they'll tell you you're brainwashed by the far left media.

"He's one of them transgenders."

"He got freedoms too, Jimmy."

weshallbekind

Also, please understand that SO often the real issue these people have is that they just want to say something inappropriate. They don't like being told they can't say "fag", so they'd say it for a reaction, just like a teenager would.

Shut down the conversation without reacting.

"His dick, not mine" will get you much further to shutting that guy down than "well it's really inappropriate to call someone a slur while I'm the job site".

And that's the point. To shut them up. To make them quit saying shit like that. The first one makes him seem kinda weird for caring about what that guy does with his dick. The second one gives him something to fight against and make a big deal about.

code-switching matters for communicating across cultures of all varieties

Cannot overstate how many flavours of bullshit disguised as political opinion can be shut down by “none of my business” or “don’t be rude”

Look, it’s a weird hill to die on, especially when I don’t really explain, but children deserve to experience fear, disgust, and discomfort in safe scenarios where they can process those sensations.

Media for children used to be scary and that’s important.

fake Goncharov fans don’t even realize that Scorsese did NOT direct the 1973 cult classic. he was executive producer. 🤦‍♀️

The actual director is Natted JWHJ0715, and they deserve credit!!!

It's Matteo JWHJ0715!!!!! Very talented director (italian mother, license plate father)

viejito-at-heart

everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.

justaratinacagexx

I've never heard ADHD explained this way....but it's such a good depiction of it.

My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.

Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??

Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??

Legolas please gain a sense of urgency

knives-in-the-dishwater

It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.

gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"

"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."

taavicleric

"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."

Hey y'all why are writers always cold?

run-remi-run

...why?

writing-in-the-grave

They're always surrounded by drafts!

How many mystery writers does it take to change a lightbulb?

run-remi-run

Oh god.

How many?

writing-in-the-grave

Two! One to change the bulb, and the other to give it an unexpected twist at the end!

What do writers have for breakfast?

run-remi-run

Coffee?

writing-in-the-grave

Synonym buns!

Where do all the struggling writers live?

run-remi-run

How are you coming up with all these?

Where?

writing-in-the-grave

Writer's Block!

What do writers suffer from each spring?

(I've heard a lot of them over the years.)

run-remi-run

Allergies. Next question.

writing-in-the-grave

you were close; A case of allegories

Why are writers always in great shape?

run-remi-run

Circular prose

writing-in-the-grave

Nope! It's because we're always running out of ideas!

Did you hear about the famous writer who turned out to be a fraud?

run-remi-run

I did not

writing-in-the-grave

His life had it's prose and cons...

Why is editing a better job than writing?

run-remi-run

It's more rewording?

writing-in-the-grave

Correct! I am out of jokes. :(

personally i prefer semaphore

so prefacing this with the fact that I know that the fun is sorta taken out of this by me translating, but not everyone will have the energy to look it up themselves, so I figured I'd help out.

Morse code: AEEEEE FELL DOWN AND TROKE MY PENIT TODAY YEOWCE OUCH YOUCH!!!! SENT FROM MY TELEGRAPH

Semaphore: NO NOT YOUR PENITS
