It isn't bad but it isn't good either

Interesting. I'm glad no one has turned any of my accidental footage into a film, though.

I always thought dagons would have two seperate pressurized liquids (maybe a fuel + oxidizer combo) that form a combustion reaction upon mixing similar to the bombardier beetle

That looks like an interruption.

You should use uBlock Origin anyway, for your own safety. Ads is one of the biggest vector for malware these days.

wraith ,

I do, that's why I thought that site was less ad-riddled. I didn't even get that pop up.

Terry Pratchett already sorted it out; it's a little bit of a creative interpretation I guess but my reading of "Men at Arms" was that it is hypergolic fuel and oxidizer in two separate belly chambers and then they spray the two together and it ignites immediately in air. Like fireflies or bombardier beetles they just make the right stuff that they need.

Apparently terry prachett and I think alike lmao

BumpingFuglies , in Experience: I gave birth to my granddaughter

Cute, heartwarming, yay modern science, all that. But that name. Ekko.

Unique names do not guarantee unique children. If anything, they reduce the chance your kid will be unique, 'cause they already feel special due to their name and so won't strive to differentiate themselves from the crowd.

Not like it really matters compared to the importance of good parenting; I'm just annoyed with this trend of making up silly names for kids, especially ones with unintuitive spellings. That kid is gonna have to spell out their name for people so many times in their life. And they'll definitely get made fun of for it in school.

Hey! Who told you anything about my penis was micro?

If you apply a steady "milking" motion to the penis over several minutes, you will eventually coax it into releasing some microplastics from the tip. Believe me, if feels good to get rid of those microplastics.

Practicing this regularly will keep your penis microplastic-free.

Instructions unclear. Now I’ve got “Raw Milk”.

Hi I'm an expert at removing microplastics. Fellas, if you're finding them in your penis - contact me.

LostWanderer , in Microplastics discovered in human penises for the first time

It was only a matter of time, they first found microplastics in a man's testicles. Scientists finding microplastics in a man's penis was bound to happen sooner or later. Hopefully, this will inject a strong sense of fervor in the quest to filter or destroy microplastics in the environment. Also, to reduce the usage of plastic in general!

Obligatory defeatist response:

Until it becomes cost effective to reduce the use of plastics, or a personal tragedy of someone close to a big enough decision-maker, the status quo will remain the same.

Morgoon ,

The majority of microplastics found in the human body are tire rubber that gets breathed in. So all we have to do is ban cars.

More importantly is it hard or soft microplastics.

I’ve kind of accepted my fate as an organic container that holds plastic.

solsangraal ,

i think that's the idea: we eat food from plastic containers, and then become containers for the plastic. in our dicks apparently

And balls… don’t forget the balls. Apparently they hold more than just pee these days.
