  This study released last year based on samples from cadavers suggests there’s enough in your brain to make a plastic spoon

    Maybe they can recycle me into a plastic spoon then.

      Turn my micro plastics into one of the old mc donalds coke spoons when I die and have everyone at my funeral use it to take a bump of my ashes.

    Damn… yeah those samples suggest ~6–8mg of plastic per gram of sample tissue in the brains from 2024 😟 That would be like 10 grams in an entire adult brain if the distribution is even.

    “Thankfully” it looks like the brain has the highest concentration of all studied organs 🙃

    we could make 8 billion spoons with the right recovery recycling operations?

  You don’t like glitter in your brain?
