I live at 2000m altitude

I had a problem with skin on the tops of my knees drying out and flaking, it was quite painful

Turned out it was the antiperspirant I was using on my armpits got on my knees when I bent over to put my socks on and dried out the skin 😂

No, Jesus has a massive cock

I know a guy that lives under a bridge. He only does wet cuts though.

Simply because he has a fetish for urinating on hair

Tiny pieces of plastic that pollute the environment can be produced by simply opening a plastic bottle or tearing a food wrapper.

Microplastics are between 0.001 and 5 millimetres in size and are usually either produced directly, or form when large plastic debris breaks up. We now know that millions of tonnes of microplastics are abundant in the environment and can harm marine life by entering the food chain. Microplastics are also found in our food, although the effect on human health is still unclear.

“Plastic is everywhere and enters our daily lives – and microplastics might be there as well,” says Cheng Fang at the University of Newcastle, Australia.

He and his colleagues tested whether everyday activities could release microplastics. They opened common plastic items such as bags, bottles and packaging film by twisting the bottle cap or tearing the bag, for example, or by cutting them with scissors or a knife, which deforms and fractures the plastic.

The team used a scale that is sensitive to weights as low as one nanogram to collect and measure the microplastics that landed on its surface. Between about 10 and 30 nanograms of microplastic were released from opening the plastic items, which amounts to between 14,000 and 75,000 individual microplastic particles. But the team says that the true amount released is probably even higher, because many microplastics are statically charged and remain in the air.

Studying the microplastics with a microscope revealed that most were in the form of fragments or fibres of varying shape and size. Some could be seen with the naked eye, such as those from cutting bottles. The team also used a technique called spectroscopy to deduce the microplastics’ chemical composition and found the majority were made of polyethylene, one of the most widely used plastics.

“This finding sends an important warning,” says Fang. “We might need to take our own responsibility and work with industry together to reduce [microplastics].”

“You’d love to say that you’re surprised and shocked at the results, but unfortunately, you’re not. We’re now realising that microplastics are literally everywhere,” says Christian Dunn at Bangor University, UK. It is now crucial that we work to find out the possible health effects of microplastics and cut back on unnecessary plastic use, he says.

All us…countries seem to spend a really embarrassing amount of time talking about the pointless minutiae surrounding our candidates for office and their personal lives

We just…don’t though

Even if we did it’d be drowned out by the utter drivel spewing out of the one country that does

ITT people who didn’t/couldn’t install Windows via Rufus, and/or don’t know how to set up an OS

If your answers are going to be video links, most people won’t be interested

I lived in Paris for a year, speak french and respect people who work extremely difficult jobs in the most tourist-heavy city on the planet

I think I met three or four grumpy cunts in that year. Considering everything, that’s a miniscule percentage

Bear in mind these people aren’t being false-nice. They don’t rely on tips to feed their kids

When they post asking for help with Windows and get an entire thread of answers from obnoxious elitist wankers who couldn’t even decide on a distro between them

Who complains the most about the so-called french “attitude”?

Brits and Yanks, the ones that think cleaners and waiters are beneath them and need to dance to earn tips

Makes sense

France - treating people the same no matter what they do for a living.

It’s really nice to be respected even if you’re a cleaner or a bin man, and very much deserved

Hold on, I’ll phone the Romans and ask them why they didn’t make the pont du Gard wheelchair accessible

In my dad’s era, a bit of crumpet was something completely different

I love monkey puzzle trees! They look like they’d be so easy to climb

I don’t like trying to climb them though

Every time I’m near Marseille, which isn’t often, grab an absolute load of bar soap. Each bar lasts two or three months of daily use

That’s it

I think it’s great that you have such good friends they’re too polite to tell you how bad you smell 😊
