Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Since introducing micro-plastics into my diet I have never felt better, I am currently 43.4% plastic. I look forward to my reincarnation as a tesco carrier bag😍

How long until someone gives birth to a human-plastic hybrid?

I remember reading somewhere that microplastics are detectable in newborns now, so I guess technically we're already there.
