They are still testing? I gotta send my samples!

Wanderer,

I’m surprised FMT aren’t a bigger thing.

Think they would be able to make some sort of artificial FMT. Probiotics aren’t enough.

I know personally I have taken a boat load of antibiotics as a child and I took some for Cellulitis which because it was a skin infection required a high daily dose, never been the same since.

MaximilianKohler,

Think they would be able to make some sort of artificial FMT

We’re a long way (many decades) off from that. This blog goes into more detail with references: humanmicrobes.org/…/stool-donors-one-in-a-million…

One of which is this page that shows the severe limits of current knowledge: humanmicrobiome.info/testing/

threelonmusketeers,

What are FMT?

Wanderer,

You take someone’s poop and put it up your butt.

Fecal microbiota transplantation.

threelonmusketeers,

Ah, thanks. I’d heard of that, but wasn’t familiar with the initialism.

great when are we getting microplastics and PTFE shots. pump some frankenstein enzymes into my veins

Luvs2Spuj,

People seem to be misunderstanding you for an antivaxer, I think…?

DavidGarcia,

yeah I mean the mRNA tech of the vaccines has other potentiall amazing applications like replacing enzymes people are missing or introducing new ones. It’s temporary, so much safer than permanent gene therapy. Realistically speaking, how else are we going to remove the microplastic?

A particularly aggressive form of colorectal cancer runs in my family. My grandmother, an aunt, and other relatives have all died of it in their fifties.

This is still at the clinical trial stage, but the approach could work for many other types of cancer too. Fingers crossed it’s as successful as possible, and available as a treatment very soon.

This is one way to get males of earth to take interest in the environment.

Squeak,

Sounds like if we keep going we’ll finally have male contraception other than condoms, that is surgery free!!

Im trying to think of a more reductive argument - that of reducing the future of the species to economics - in human history.

I can’t.

eatthecake,

Remember: we live in an economy and children are our most valuable resource.

Basically everywhere there’s water except in space now.

xor,

i’m sure there’s microplastics in space by now…

hydroptic,

Wouldn’t be surprised if they were in space too, eg. from plastic parts in satellites that have broken up

aStonedSanta,

I believe they tested pfas in the air in the most remote place we have test sites so yeah. Not just in the water sadly.

I guess I should get my boys checked to see if they’re swimming

Congrats rich fucks. You earned a first class ticket to the longest period of suffering. Us poors will die much sooner than you and won’t be around to feel the very worst of it, but you will. You earned every painful second of it. Enjoy your money while you can. Make sure you eat well and exercise. I want you fucks fit to live long enough in your bunkers to face the unstoppable hell you created. Too bad no one will be around to spit on your sun blasted corpse.

    “In study”

    GeneralVincent,

    When you turn your head to cough, the microplastics doctor checks em too

    neo,

    If they didn’t, then logic dictates: you’re not human!

    Coldgoron, to futurology in Economic damage from climate change six times worse than thought

    They don’t care because to them every disaster is a money making gold mine, even if they have to burn their shoes to keep warm.

    Microplastics are stored in the balls.
