In April, Lavers and her team broke a disturbing record: 778 pieces of plastic were found inside a single 80-day-old chick. “I’m sad to say just yesterday we blew [the record] out of the water,” she said. “In one of the most pristine corners of our planet.”

That plastic load made up nearly a fifth of the chick’s body weight.

Earth is cooked.

EDIT: Fuck, the video is hard to watch. But you should. Everybody should. The sound is awful. Sorry for the Instagram link, but as best as I can tell, it’s the original source: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJ3fhlVTy1O/

That’s actually a really clever use of Gaussian splats, though I’m not really sure what the practical use of it would be. You can probably create some really cool, interactive renders of shipwrecks and reefs and such, but I’m not immediately seeing the value beyond edutainment content.

Corridor does a really good breakdown of what Gaussian splats are here, for those interested. The explanation ends when the sponsor segment begins, for those who don’t want to watch the whole video.

Super Mario Bros 3. It was the first video game I’d ever played. That was my gateway drug.

I used to know that game like the back of my hand. Any time I pick it back up, it feels like visiting an old, childhood home.

I don’t think it was an accident.

I don’t know why anyone is buying those death-traps.

I’ve got good news, then! Fewer and fewer people are buying the illegal immigrant’s dangerous and overpriced swastikar, with new buyers dropping and trade-ins rising every day as public support for the emerald mine nepo baby nazi dwindles daily.

This is a weird thing to care so much about.

As a Texan, it’s a relief to finally not be included on one of these lists for once.

Maybe you’d do better minding your own plate and let others eat what they want.

I don’t understand this post. I can’t tell what OP is upset about or what it has to do with privacy.

Yeah, given Trump’s timelines on building the wall, I think we can safely expect this to never be finished. This will be yet another indefinite Republican drain on American tax dollars.

Because they don’t have propellers?

Yeah, this story hit me kinda like the McDonald’s hot coffee incident; it seemed silly and frivolous on the surface until you realize just how much danger the person could’ve actually been in.

Though I’m loving the comments in this thread. The arguments over corporate responsibility vs personal responsibility are pretty interesting!

I think this is a rare instance where eating the onion actually fits the /c/ :)

I’m of the same thinking; if there are things that you can’t eat for health reasons, then you should check any food that you didn’t prepare, yourself.

Trust, but verify.

Whoa, whoa there, you’re way out of line with that one.

Cunts have depth and warmth, and do not deserve this comparison.

It is a very US unit, yes.

It is exactly one half of two meters.
