A new peer-reviewed Danish study finds that a mother’s exposure to toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” during early pregnancy can lead to lower sperm count and quality later in her child’s life.
PFAS – per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – are known to disrupt hormones and fetal development, and future “reproductive capacity” is largely defined as testicles develop in utero during the first trimester of a pregnancy, said study co-author Sandra Søgaard Tøttenborg of the Copenhagen University Hospital.
PFAS are a class of about 12,000 chemicals typically used to make thousands of products resistant to water, stains and heat. They are called “forever chemicals” because they accumulate in humans and the environment and do not naturally break down. A growing body of evidence links them to serious health problems such as cancer, birth defects, liver disease, kidney disease and decreased immunity.
- So how many generations of accumulated PFAS does it take for humans to be extinct. Then nuclear waste facilities to decay, and then only roaches left.shapesalad

Interesting, alarming and...well...have listen if you want to have the shit scared out of you.
- I liked these episodes. The rebel wisdom stuff is generally great. I particularly liked the John Vervaeke and Ian McGhilchrist episodes a lotIanbolton

World on brink of five ‘disastrous’ climate tipping points, study finds
Giant ice sheets, ocean currents and permafrost regions may already have passed point of irreversible changeIt shows five dangerous tipping points may already have been passed due to the 1.1C of global heating caused by humanity to date.
These include the collapse of Greenland’s ice cap, eventually producing a huge sea level rise, the collapse of a key current in the north Atlantic, disrupting rain upon which billions of people depend for food, and an abrupt melting of carbon-rich permafrost.
- this is the 2nd reason I don't buy beachfront,
the first reason is I cant afford it anyway.YakuZoku - Time to get a boatinstrmntl
- time to get a seat on bezos or musks rocket .. otherwise not so groovyneverscared
- time to get winter gear...or maybe wait some time and get the winter gear on sale during the heat period the next years.uan
- lost all your crypto money u have to go into sale buying .. ;)neverscared
- na, just the weather pushing me towards a pessimistic mindset, though it made you smile and some positivity came out of it.uan

- I had a series of incredibly vivid dreams last night, with a general apocalyptic theme going on, starting with nukes going off over the mediterranean. Fun!Nairn
- I also looked into buying a clearly midjourney-generated pseudo-abandoned church, before ginormous alien monsters started coming in. Fun!Nairn
- Haha. Madness! Too much cheese before bed again?Ianbolton
- That's the thing - I went to bed early and Was Good. For once. You ever have dreams that are so Full-On that your brain is noticeably tired when you awaken?Nairn
- Haha, I guess so. Less so recently as I've been stoned more than usual. I've had dreams so intense they wake me up, but so intriguing I want to go back to themIanbolton
- Nairn, looking at QBN to watch trolls troll is all fun, but now you are letting QBN squat for free in your dreams now. Be careful.toemaas

Escape plans of the rich and famous
Douglas Rushkoff argues that Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and other tech moguls intend to separate themselves from the rest of humanity.
In the new book “Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires,” Douglas Rushkoff contends that many of the richest and most powerful people are not immune from this anxiety. They are also scared and feel vulnerable, because they see the same problems that we do. The difference, Rushkoff argues, is that they have fueled these problems and intend to deal with them by leaving the rest of us behind.

- Still need us for the moment though.PhanLo
- Yeah, it's not spilling the beans. What a silly title. Harari and others have been going on about overpopulation for maybe 20 years.garbage
- If you're really interested, look up Malthusianism. In the late 1800s, humans peaked at about a billion. The Industrial Revolution has had time to fuel..garbage
- ..a generation or two of humanity, and then about a century to 8 billion, give or take.garbage
- It's a stupid title because it's not new, but he's also not wrong. But what are we gonna do? Undo lives?garbage

Then... It would not have been bad if your mother had aborted you, idiot. What a waste os sperma and effort!OBBTKN - then why is Muskface telling everyone to keep shaggin???Projectile
- Good. Most of the people not needed are the old money rich, politicians and authors, let’s kill them first :)_niko
- apparently 20bi is this planet cap population, we are way offfeel

- This says more about shipping cost than anything else.shapesalad

- He should figure out where it was printed, the inks used on the label - come from chemicals where? The plastic is from? Oil from?shapesalad
- Welcome to the global 2000's. Sadly won't last forever, too much reliance on safe ocean passage using oil guzzling ships.shapesalad
- Global shipping logistics are insanely efficient though. Would just be nice if they moved over to sustainable power sources, and then we can all be guilt-free.Nairn
- I wonder how this bizarre combination came about. Is it about cutting costs? Or providing unnatural availability of the fruit all year round?mort_
- Or just complete lack of joined up thinking?mort_
- Clearly the environment wasn’t even a consideration.mort_
- All of the above.
Money doesn't think, it just does.Nairn - It's actually, i think - and, somewhat perversely - a sign of incredibly joined-up thinking. A main reason we have slightly empty shelves here in the UK...Nairn
- ...is because we have an incredibly efficient logistics system - world-leading, in fact - that leads to low prices and.. when shit hits the fan, implosion.Nairn
- Clearly there's a business case for taking Argentinian-grown seconds and processing them elsewhere, to sell elsewhere still.. and then, profit. At all levels.Nairn
- It's not like this shit's new. South West Spain was a centre-point for producing garum, etc, which was then shipped Eastward to ancient Rome.Nairn
- Difference then is that the carbon impact was basically the cost of decimating trees to make ships.Nairn
- Actually, the cost too of chopping wood to cook clay amphorae. Hence why the mediterranean is a deforested soon to be desert. Yaay.Nairn
- corporations outsmarted humans... only they ingored their enviromental desastrous impact of their reckless programm and now its going to burn us down...neverscared
- Most American fish are caught off the coast of America, shipped and processed in China and then resent back to the U.S. – Greed is good!utopian
- All you boys marveling at your own assumption that this is the result of brilliant logistics... lol. It’s because the shitty leftover pears are used in these cupsnb
- and whales are run over by the big cargo ships. cargo ships dump their shit into the open oceanhotroddy
- I doubt pears are being flown anywhere. Only bluefin Tuna gets that treatmenthotroddy
- I suppose there are only so many pears argentines can eat before they go bad, a few they could ship to neighbouring countries to enjoy but the vast majoriy_niko
- ...Need to be preserved or juiced but why not set up shop in Argentina instead of shipping shiploads to Thailand?_niko
- @nb, perhaps that's why I said 'seconds', LOL!!!!Nairn
- Perhaps if you weren't so caught up in your self-importance you'd actually read what other people write, LOL!!!! You pillock.Nairn
- At the end of the day, the vast majority of people in UK just shops and consume foods with little to no thought.shapesalad
- Hence you see so many fatties, and products like this are made and sell.shapesalad
- Where as I always do two things when I pick up an item in a supermarket - check ingredients, check origin.shapesalad
- If ingredients contain sugar or other shit, I put it back. If origin is eg, green veg grown in kenya, herbs from morocco - I put it back. If veg from UK, ok.shapesalad
- But I see everyone else mindlessly fill their trollies with junk, processed shit, sugary shit, with no care to the providence.shapesalad
- And then they wonder why their ass needs a sign saying 'Wide Load'...shapesalad
- I don't know. Maybe schools need to teach nutrition and impact of globalised food production, dangers of processed shit...shapesalad

- This has been going on for 20+ years in the UK. eg M&S flying asparagus to N Africa to be tied up, packed, and back again...MrT
- Scottish rasperries supplied a supermarket chain but not available in the store next to field they're grown in.MrT
- It is about logistics, but the metrics/targets they're based on are fucked. I don't buy fresh anything at supermarkets and haven't for two decades. Smug prick.MrT
