There's nothing quite like when someone reads a study and doesn't understand it, yet is such a smug, condescending arsehole whilst being completely wrong.

Edit: JFC, you didn't even get past the abstract.

I purchased silk floss online. It works quite well.

I have some bad news about those fibre-boosted cereals...

Just kidding, no PFAS there.

This person has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

I linked the actual study above, but here's an article from the American Chemical Society explaining a ULCA study linking chewing gum to microplastic exposure.

The research completely disagrees:

Ingestion of microplastics during chewing gum consumption

This thread sure turned into a dumpster fire.

I believe the estimate was 5-10 in the entire state. It's simply more American culture war shite.

Trans rights are human rights and fuck anyone who disagrees.

It's startling how fast disinformation organically spreads. I saw disinformation being spread on Lemmy, presumably by actual people, within a day or so of the push to oust Hakeem Jeffries.

I'm reporting this comment to the mods for reckless vulgarity!

Girl looks ready to take me to Balmora.

I just did the same. Surprisingly simple and worth the little time required.

https://tv.slada.sk/guides/rooting-guide is a graphical step by step guide that's a bit more up to date - cani.rootmy.tv claimed I couldn't.

If you haven't found it already, I recommend Glasshouse. Fucking fantastic.

Root them! I just did our LG TV and it's fantastic. All the data collection is off and I can install homebrew applications. Glasshouse gets me access to a load of features, including a proper screensaver and a much improved, highly customizable home screen. The default screen is shite.

The guide is at https://tv.slada.sk/guides/rooting-guide if you're interested.
