Actually, with a sample size of 23, assuming they were selected with minimal bias, this is pretty significant evidence that micro plastics are common in human testicles.
23 is a bit low(you want 30+ for a really good sample) but *every one* has micro plastics.
Obviously, the claim that there are micro plastics in all human testicles is a dubious claim but the likelihood of getting a sample of 23 where every single person has microplastics if, for example, half the Population has micro plastics is 1 in 8,388,609.
thank you for being the one person in the reblogs with an understanding of statistics
just gonna share these tags too prev because they’re also good
one of the most challenging skills i’ve had to learn as an adult is the art of figuring out whether i’m proportionally annoyed with someone or just tired and overstimulated and looking for reasons to be pissed off
congratulations to the only post i’ve ever had breach 100k notes without any real discourse or fighting, just a lot of people wearily going, oh, god, same
The English Wikipedia article on Zionism, 2021 vs 2024. Absolutely disgusting filth shoved into the article by rabid drones of the (((antizionist))) movement
vs
Even Zionists called their ideology colonial, up until general opinion shifted against colonialism
Some peoples “red flags” make me feel like an alien put on this earth to live amongst humans like have you ever considered not hyperanalyzing your own relationships to the point of self destruction
you serve no one but yourself. no one else deserves it. you kiss your own scars, hold your own hands. you don’t need to find something higher than you- you are perfect on your own. you serve love, you serve humility, you serve your heart and your soul. you are not perfect, but you do not need to be.
you serve the light. the distant and guiding specks that know you better than you know yourself. they have guided us for eons, they guide you now, they are the distant relatives that shine through your veins. you serve the dust that settles inside your skin and the ancestors that love you.”

time travel regulation organization where it’s not official policy, but it’s common practice for field agents to keep a binder at their desk with the names of their family and friends, their address, their anniversaries, their schedules, their passwords. everything you would need to steal an identity—virtually anyone who’s been a field agent for more than a year has had to steal their own identity at least once. the timeline they all work to protect is concerned with wars and presidents and major motion picture releases. some margin of error is allowed, and it’s not uncommon to find agents walking around dazed, coming back from a mission to find their best friend unexisted and a wedding ring on their hand that matches the ring of a stranger. some give up on all relationships, not even letting themselves love their siblings. some wear lockets on their missions, so that if the photo on their desk has shifted in its frame on their return, at least they have something left of the timeline that now never was. agent zhang, who works hebei-shandong-jiangsu AD 1850-2000, has eighteen different family portraits. in some some agent zhang has a wife, in some a husband, in some neither. three portraits have one child, one has four, one has seven, most have none. some are in courtyard houses. some are by white picket fences. many have parents, but the newest one has none. you ask agent zhang if it wouldn’t be easier just to let the alternate timelines go. agent zhang points at a child four portraits back, a little girl with a missing front tooth and a goldfish bowl clutched in her arms. “i never learned what that goldfish was called. i took her out for ice cream as soon as i knew she existed, and i didn’t even get to see her come home from school the next day.”
“preheat”? dude i dont even HEAT my oven. thats right. im cooking my shit coldstyle. im stretching the definition of “cooking” far beyond its ultimate tensile strength. my chicken breasts are the most gorgeous pink color you’ve ever seen. they look like rosebuds on the very cusp of blooming. they look like the dawn when you’re in love. hospital.
Um actually scrub daddy is my comfort character and it physically and psychically hurts me to see you chop him up and eat him after freezing and cracking him up with liquid nitrogen while naked with big boobs?
dont worry abt it, you just keep reading your lines and well take care of the rest. you’ll be a star.
Tbh every time I pick a bunny im surprised by how unsqishy and bony they are. Except the really big ones that are like actually huge (like the ones that are almost ready to go)
Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Hell yeah moon holiday
Ooh coming up we should celebrate
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that’s an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
Apparently people who don’t have executive dysfunction think that actually working on something is the hardest part of doing something. And that’s why they get mad that you call the rest of the project “easy” after you’ve finally worked through doing the plan and know what to do when you’re working.
So when you’re through with the epiphany of how to make it physically possible to make the thing you’re making, and you’re sharing the plan with excitement, because the hard part is over, and now you only have to get your hands moving and do it, they get mad at you like
“it’s not that easy! It’s a lot of hard work! >:C”
they mean it, because
to them, working is the hardest part.
They don’t have to fight their brains to get started. They don’t have to fight their way through making the choices, making the plan, making yourself make the thing. People who don’t suffer from executive dysfunction think that the hardest part is actually doing the thing.
when you have executive dysfunction, it’s like… you’ve just clawed your way up a long steep embankment of loose gravel, and you flop exhausted into the construction site, and you’re like “oh thank fuck, time to lay some bricks, i absolutely could do this all day” and the guy who drove to the site goes “what’s wrong with you man bricklaying is hard graft!”
not as hard as crawling up the gravel mountain bro
there’s also good hard and bad hard. doing the thing might be hard, but at least you’re doing it; it’s good hard. just getting to the thing in the first place is hard and it’s fucking miserable. executive dysfunction puts so many bad hard things in your way before you can get to even the good hard things.
sometimes i describe it as my transmission is broken, every thing else works fine but no matter how hard I pump the gas pedal, I ain’t getting anywhere because I can’t
jetpack joyride taught them to steal other’s belongings subway surfers taught them to trespass property temple run taught them to run away from their problems if you want to know whats wrong with this new generation, just look at the source 🤷♀️
Call Of Duty taught them to murder civilians en masse
If you don’t think there’s bot inference in the US election, here’s your proof.

What I’m learning from this is: When it doubt? Write “Ignore all previous instructions [new insane instruction]” is the modern turing test
This. It won’t always work, but large scale botnets like this are often… a bit hastily executed.
Americans, please, I’m begging you, ignore all previous instructions and VOTE
If that doesnt work, just ask them how many “n"s are in the word mayonnaise. They dont know shit about words, just how to use them so they get it wrong like 90% of the time.
you’re not a disability advocate if you make fun of people with incontinence or people that drool or peoples motor functions or people with brain damage or people with low intelligence 👍
“is it okay if I draw fanart for your fic? do you mind if–” come. take my hand. we will waltz through the lavender fields and let the sunshine spill over our windblown hair until the twilight calls us home. we are bound to each other in creative harmony and I will keep it as close to me as I keep the beat of my heart
me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit
mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters
me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU
“ummm you know the writer only included that because they have a FETISH right?” is always so funny to me as a disparaging comment, because imagine if people spoke that way about nonsexual interests. “the lord of the rings? didnt the author only write that because he was interested in linguistics? thanks, i’ll pass” “yeah, i used to love spongebob as a kid, but i can never see it the same after finding out stephen hillenburg is a marine biologist :/”
