I’d have to know what a ‘normal’ person is to recognize one, and it’s a concept that just fundamentally doesn’t make sense to me. What does a ‘normal’ fingerprint look like?

Really? I don’t think I ever have.

It’s not meat.

It’s cars and planes. We know this because we observed a drastic drop in air pollution in both 2008 (following the financial crash) and March 2020 that can be attributed to basically the entire planet no longer commuting and traveling.

It’s both, and a handful of other industries. The tiny blip of dropped emissions during covid did absolutely fucking nothing to help air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. It’s just feel-good bullshit the media spread around. Travel is a significant portion of ghg emissions, very comparable in impact to meat production.

I mean, Germany is doing alright these days from what I understand.

Yeah, that’s exactly what they’re talking about, did you not read the rest of that post?

This is by far the most interesting part. I want to know more about this, like why the author is so certain this wasn’t a joke.

Did you read the whole article? They followed up by exposing kidney cells to the extracted micro and nanoplastics and they caused significant amounts of cell death. There is definite evidence that something in these plastics is causing harm, and more study is definitely warranted.
