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 🙃
Don’t like thinking about how much of that probably made it to my brain, organs, and muscles :)

This study released last year based on samples from cadavers suggests there’s enough in your brain to make a plastic spoon
we could make 8 billion spoons with the right recovery recycling operations?
fuck yeah
“this is not what we meant by brain plasticity”
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.
There are ways to turn human remains into a juwel. Now human plastic spoons would be something new to put on ones shelf.

people passing close to a crematorium:
someone is burning plastic
Sometimes I feel like my brain is a plastic spoon already
You don’t like glitter in your brain?
