“When life gives you lemons, TAKE THOSE LEMONS BACK!” -Cave Johnson
Mercury was badass. The slow, seeping madness taking hold of you like a gentle breeze grabbing the breadth of a kite. Invisibly, rapidly hoisting you higher until it suddenly, sinisterly relinquishes its grip. The drop leaves you tattered and indignant, but seemingly mendable.
And so it tenderly brushes the dust off to repeat the process until you’re nothing but caterwauling splinters cast across the ground.
Is this from something or do you just wander through life dropping awesome prose like this?
I like writing short stories for fun, and sometimes I write what comes to me on Lemmy. Though lemmy rarely cares for it, outside of !greentext@sh.itjust.works. Thank you for the kind praise!
Man, that’s poetry right there
Wowweee
The Romans knew how bad asbestos was.
But not lead…
They did know that lead was toxic.
Then they didn’t much care I guess. Which was worse than not knowing.
I’m just amazed that we knew asbestos was bad for over a 1000 years, and in the USA only banned it a few years ago, other countries not much longer before.
With asbestos, one has to wonder if there was just no good substitute for some of it’s properties. While it’s very rare to see used these days, there are still some careful applications for it. Lead is the same way. Lead solder and even lead pipes was commonly used up until a relatively short time ago for water supplies.
I work in a plastic molding factory, guess I’m getting extra 🫠
Microplastic Georg over here
Oh, I know I know! Is it mold? Oh wait, no… Or… Hmm…
My wild guess is that the next step will be the coating of ceramics. Basically every plate that you have eaten of transfers microscopic amounts of some substance which has previously gone undiscovered but has terrible consequences for the human body.
Wild guess, no knowledge to back up anything.
On the current trajectory, our kids full of Cesium 137.
I’d say lead lingered longer than asbostos though.
I don’t know what you read, but I just learned that racoons are showing early signs of domestication.
Honestly a very compelling read

Lol, the secret is to read everything to a mentally unstable level.
Take your meds
Thanks but I prefer not to get my news from one source, for example the micro-plastics found in our bodies suffered from methodological flaws suggesting false positives, pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (The technique commonly used to detect microplastics) can produce the same chemical signatures from fats in human tissue as it does from plastics like polyethylene
187 studies have been formally challenged. *18 used the same flawed methodologyEdit:
