A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Microplastics are mostly in water, and a huge issue there. They become small enough to get into cells and cause constant inflammation and cancer. But they are not aerosols.
Maybe very small plastic particles could get into air, but that usually happens when something burns. The most nasty microplastics occur when burning things.
wasnt it obvious with the passenger pigeon going extinct. microplastics would be a slow death, unlike something overhunting, deforestation,,,etc.
The proverbial canary in the coal mine
Wait til you hear about nanoplastics
I was thinking of mentioning them, actually, haha. I'm sure there are already picoplastics...
But at least we can eat crypto.
