There are some effects depending on the type of plastic, there is some evidence that BPA plastic can cause puberty to start early but more studies need to be done to figure out the exact relationship between the two. There could be more effects that we just aren’t aware of yet, plastic has only been in wide spread use for a few decades, and their effects in the body is unknown. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
100%, the oceans are full of plastic and they probably ate lots of fish, so they may have even more than most people. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

maybe they should not use plastic cups for testing | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
On the specific issue of plastic waste, materials (and especially packaging materials) are part of my purchase decision-making. Of course I'm not "plastic free", but without very much effort or impact on my lifestyle I have massively reduced the plastic I consume to the point that I hardly ever find myself with single use plastic waste.
Now, I know that this is in part possible because I'm in a reasonably comfortable financial position in a major western city with many innovative goods and services around me (eg I am fortunate to live near some "zero waste" stores in which one fills one's existing containers with their loose produce, pretty much eliminating packaging entirely); although if I lived somewhere more rural I'd try to grow some food/keep some hens or somesuch. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Lol, I grew up in the 90's too, but I never heard that.

It’s the one thing that DOESNT have microplastics. That should be good news. You don’t want microplastics | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Right, but here's the thing.
How am I meant to reduce and reuse my plastics when... That isn't generally an option.
I go to my supermarket. My cheese is packaged in a one time use plastic seal bag. The meat, in a plastic sealed container. The soda, in sealed bottles.
Supermarkets have been eliminating the fresh counters where one could provide their own bags for eliminating the saran wrap generally used. Can't bring my own cheese cloth or anything because there's no facility for it.
With soda, there's no option to bring a bottle to the legendary village soda fount to fill her up.
Now yes, one could argue I can just... Not buy soda, which is valid. But it's those very companies using single use plastics telling us that the onus is on us to not use it. They're basically saying to peoples faces "if you buy what we sell and choose to package this way, it's your fault."
Rather than giving us the option to be able to do something about it.
With meat, my only option would be to go and hunt it myself. There is no environmentally safe, reusable meat container without doing that.
As much as 'reduce and reuse' is a good mantra, it doesn't work when the only options for the average person is 'use the one use only plastic'. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

I find it interesting that apparently in the U.S., so many clothes are plastic.
Here in the Netherlands, cotton is commonplace. Shirts? Cotton. Pants? Cotton. Underwear? Cotton with a bit of elastic. I think only my winter coat has significant amounts of plastic. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

All you need to know about bridging the gap between cultures is the proper handling of horse tranquilizer darts. After you know that, getting people to agree is relatively easy. But yeah, I'm sure they have microplastics in their system as others have pointed out. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Does yours not bend? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
No, from polyester and other fabrics. Your skin is one of the organs we absorb stuff from- an April 19th study this year released some information on this.
You wear synthetic fabrics, sweat a lot, guess what? You're probably absorbing microplastics through your skin.
Where on earth do you get airplanes out of any of what I said? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Blood letting might be your answer. Just don't end up like George Washington. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
There was a study this year that came to that conclusion- the sweating and wearing synthetic fabrics. Would kinda make some sense, too.
Wouldn't be surprised to know they knew how bad it was all along. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

Yeah I mean I agree, but also everything is out of plastic these days, and a lot of it is made out of very old plastic. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
That’s likely as most of our clothes that aren’t cotton are made from plastic. We’re also breathing in tire dust and polyester fumes.

Most Israeli politicians to Bibi's left absolutely support this deal. The entire war cabinet voted for it but Bibi. Bibi doesn't support this deal cause he's trying to prolong this war to stay in power; Smotrich and Ben Gvir bolt his coalition if he ends the war. War cabinet member --probably Gantz based off his [speech](https://x.com/mattduss/status/1799911185686700417) yesterday- accused [Bibi of undermining the deal](https://www.timesofisrael.com/war-cabinet-official-accuses-netanyahu-of-undermining-hostage-release/) along with a few [senior Israeli officials have also complained about Bibi's public rhetoric](https://x.com/BarakRavid/status/1797719484540817813)
Apparently, [Hamas won't agree to any deal unless they get a guarantee about how the war ends once they give up the hostages](https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/06/08/biden-israel-gaza-ceasefire-rescue/). But Sinwar and Deif are so extreme--I'm not even fully sure they'll agree if Bibi changes his rhetoric to stop contradicting the ceasefire deal or if US gives them a guarantee that the war ends.
I doubt we'll get a deal anytime soon but we'll see. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Have you tried eating more animal protein? you know... for your brain. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
You do realise that most of virus transmissions come from handling raw meat and eggs prior to cooking it, right? Your kitchen sink, counters and drawer handles are more contaminated with virus and bacteria pathogens than your toilet seat.
9 out of 10 UTIs are caused by e.coli bacteria originatung from chicken and eggs. Cook the chicken all you want, but unless you sterilize your kitchen better than an operating room, it will transfer to other foods you handle and reach your body. Humans also touch their faces about 12 times an hour without realizing it. And look how widespread UTIs are.
Just go vegan and end this madness. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

This is a point I do not understand. I do feel sorry for the Russian people but their government has assassinated their opponents in NATO countries and is at war with Europe’s neighbors while threatening nuclear action. There should be an instant ban on all Russian citizens traveling to NATO/EU countries and those already there with visas need to be reviewed and deported. Send their wealthy, educated classes back to the meat grinder to instigate change - they have the upper hand with psyops (Brexit, Trump) so let’s forcefully plant a few million expat dissidents into their country to fuck their shit right up. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
