    The researchers speculate that microplastics could contribute to neurological conditions by obstructing blood flow, interfering with neural connections, or triggering inflammation in the brain.

    A whole generation dumbed down by lead and now microplastics. We fucked

      This is just one more apocalypse to add to the pile. We are no more fucked that before we knew about this. Humanity can only die once.

      Still, kinda shit, eh?

        The shitty part is it won’t just be us. Animals who had nothing to do with our shit will likely die right along with us.

          Absolutely. I was just talking about my daily life. I don’t give a shit if something gives me cancer or sterilizes me at this point. My body is so irrevocably fucked by pollution already, unless it kills me/debilitates me within the next 10 years, I don’t care. A shortening life span is meaningless to me.
