So many people are committing the Gambler's fallacy now, seems like we're due for a good run of non-fallacious thinking soon.

I agree these products must be exceptionally safe. But another way to report this headline is "one brand of tampon found to have as much glyphosate as 3 tablespoons of safe drinking water". Let's not create fear over nothing.

Only watch if you're feeling robust. But if robust, please watch.
I interviewed Jenn in 2011 when I lived in Tas and she brought a large jar full of the plastic she had found in bird stomachs to the studio. She left a profound impression on me, and, in 2025, it's worse rather than better.

Plastic-eating seabird chicks show signs of organ failure and cognitive decline
For years, Jack Auty studied how inflammation in the human body drives diseases, ranging from stroke to sepsis to Alzheimerβs, at the Tasmanian School of Medicine. But a visit to a seabird colonyβ¦
Seabirds & other marine wildlife are ingesting increasing amounts of plastics as pollution in the ocean rises.
A recent study finds that sable shearwater chicks that consume high levels of plastics have tissue damage, multiple organ failure & cognitive decline, despite showing no signs of illness.

I'm looking to make a proposal for the Charles Darwin board of evolution. Essentially I feel like humans need baby teeth, teenage teeth and then adult teeth. I don't want to pay for the poor decisions of my youth. I hope the board accepts my proposal and includes it in the next patch.
