I have a favour to ask you. Help me help a friend. (Not financial!)<br/><br/>I have a friend who is all about cool bug facts. They&#39;re going through an intense patch in their life, so I would like to send them some bug facts to cheer them up. But this is really their thing, so basic search engine results aren&#39;t going to new to them.<br/><br/>If there is a cool bug fact that you genuinely love yourself, could you tell me? I&#39;ll save them to share with my friend over time.<br/><br/>#Bugs #CoolBugFacts #Insects 2026-01-26T06:45:36Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf7nsfyxjlqa5h0cxkatjvn58sctwsvqtpgdvvat5d8xjhhg7yl8gzyrp24c02lxy8dpa4wzd0640uu4vwnypxe0j6ayrj9lamknsfrcracj79thv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9yhevm4yj8cm2kfjrkpkdzmxw0q8fxfyplnks3cyj5qy25a3avxskatpap'>nevent1q…tpap</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The study analyzed store-purchased breaded shrimp, minced pollock, fish sticks, white Gulf shrimp (headless/shell-on), Key West pink shrimp (headless/shell-on), Alaska Pollock fillets (skinless), chicken nuggets, top sirloin steaks, pork loin chops, chicken breasts, plant-based nuggets, plant-based fish sticks, plant-based ground beef, and tofu blocks.<br/><br/>The authors acknowledge this is not comprehensive, but it&#39;s a start. 2025-12-08T08:48:35Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9yhevm4yj8cm2kfjrkpkdzmxw0q8fxfyplnks3cyj5qy25a3avxszyrp24c02lxy8dpa4wzd0640uu4vwnypxe0j6ayrj9lamknsfrcracquhjau In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8dc3xce9n7n6n9zsfnru3uj8gn4sql4l72fjwu3dwwdaa0uawnngvgk89f'>nevent1q…k89f</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Foods pick up microplastics during processing. Not just ultraprocessed foods, but any kind of food handling. Think about conveyer belts, machinery, gloves worn by food workers. Plastic is everywhere.<br/><br/>I am aiming for minimally processed foods as much as I can for myself. (Your mileage and spoons may vary.) 3/n 2025-12-08T08:45:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8dc3xce9n7n6n9zsfnru3uj8gn4sql4l72fjwu3dwwdaa0uawnngzyrp24c02lxy8dpa4wzd0640uu4vwnypxe0j6ayrj9lamknsfrcracxq4qs0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9e06jc9km99de0k2xtsaznvddhkh0l2mufxa9eupw8jcrm9mukks6pyvru'>nevent1q…yvru</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I had read about the study but only just tracked down the study itself and read it. I&#39;ll share some of the parts that interested me in this thread.<br/><br/>I flag these kinds of threads as cursed knowledge and put them behind a CW because I know it&#39;s easy to get polycrisis-overwhelmed and you may not be able to handle food becoming even more complicated.<br/><br/>It&#39;s worth doing what you can to avoid microplastics -- with available spoons, on an opt-in info basis. 2025-12-08T08:43:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstrql4mcsjrxvws35y6amkp93a6k7d8hd3n8g92zkh54r9wlqkgjqzyrp24c02lxy8dpa4wzd0640uu4vwnypxe0j6ayrj9lamknsfrcrac0x7ecz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs05cmy2cdgtff2xzk5ttmj7d0swcf4pxw5kn46cz4ph8gut0c2alc2x69e7'>nevent1q…69e7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Voice work is collapsing as a field because big players like Apple are pushing computer generated voices.<br/><br/>There are more people competing for fewer jobs at lower rates. It&#39;s disastrous.<br/><br/>I have stopped narrating new books because I have a day job and I don&#39;t want to take paying work away from my fellow voice actors who do the work full time to pay their rent.<br/><br/>When people tell me they want to give it a go for the lulz or the &#34;passive income&#34; (ha!) I am underwhelmed to say the least. 2/n 2025-11-18T01:26:29Z
