Damn… yeah those samples suggest ~6–8mg of plastic per gram of sample tissue in the brains from 2024 😟 That would be like 10 grams in an entire adult brain if the distribution is even.

“Thankfully” it looks like the brain has the highest concentration of all studied organs 🙃

[email protected] would probably dig this.

All of those images are AI generated. I would love for this to be real, but it is just a joke.

Cargo cult cat!

The original post (not shown in the screenshot) is from PBS, that’s why it says “Author” by their name. If it was in English (likely) it makes sense to answer in English as well.

Indeed! And they do under representational democracies. In a community there will always be some sort of law or code, whether written or not, that some members of that community disagree with.

Absolutely agree! First past the post will always drift toward larger and less representative parties. Even proportional representation can have this tendency, but it is much more resilient.

This is exactly what happens with democratic societies

No. This is what happens when you have two sides, both too large to really represent anyone, battling for a sliver of majority using increasingly diverging views and then exercising as much power as they can before the roles flip again.

In an actual democracy representatives of the people, with many differing views, sit down together and decide case by case on a solution that most can be happy with.

Someone will always disagree with any decision when we live in a large society, but a functioning democracy is the closest thing we have ever come to making sure that as many as possible are happy (and more importantly get a say).

Had? I bet you they still have people pushing the doors all the time.

Haha, no worries! Just caught me off guard

I did not expect the, ahem, instructional images under the “purpose” heading 😅

I always run without music! I love the mindfulness of just being aware of my surroundings!

I guess this would very much depend on where you run, though. I would never run on a treadmill without music or a podcast, and running next to traffic would probably also be bad without listening to something.

No, but they have that at a museum in town!

I remember seeing one of those! Wasn’t brought to our school, though (I went to school in the middle of the city), we went to a farm.

Why not both?

Username checks out, I guess?

I vividly remember spending twenty minutes downloading a single song over my 56k modem 🥲

He made an appearance at Easter mass yesterday.

The domestication of wolves happened between 15000 and 40000 years ago. That mug is “only” 2400 years old.
