Very cool!:
You will own nothing and eat the plastic:
Imagine not using this an opportunity to transition and hit your bloat weight target:
We don't acknowledge your nonsense europoor language around these parts:

Blaming sneed oils, nonstick pans, and plastics for being a fat frick.
i hope rightoids know that sous vide is a thing and that the micro plastics don't leech from those bags.

They absolutely do. I worked on some nanotech projects and microplastics were the biggest source of contamination in all cases. Everything bleeds microplastics, literally every thing in your house, even if made from a different material, will have some r-slurred polymer coating that breaks down and gets into your lungs.
Now of course it's worth considering how much of a contribution it makes in terms of all the plastic that you ingest, and I can't answer that. Though I do know that you shouldn't be microwaving food in plastic vessels, even if they are food grade. Not sure if exposing them to hot water like that has similar effects, though I'd imagine it will probably leech into the water more than into the food.
Oh, also if you want to reduce the amount of microplastics in your house, start by getting rid of synthetic clothing. Those are actually made by the devil.
Sorry for the schizo rant but it's something that genuinely bothers me after I saw it first hand

Wdym by synthetic clothing?
Like are nba style shorts fine to wear (I don't wear underwear). What about nba jerseys?

Oh I don't know anything about biological or health effects, but I doubt contact with the skin is bad. I'd worry about ingestion more.
The reason that I mentioned synthetic clothing is because it sheds the most bits out of anything. Just by the nature of being made of small fibers, it is easy for them to get torn and be shed through physical contact, and then to further degrade into actual microplastic. Those fiber predecessors is what I saw the most in the labs, and it even managed to make it's way into a cleanroom on couple of occasions

So people working on your lab wearing a cotton poly blend are wrecking your work environment?

Yes, they're fine to wear if you're an overweight middle-schooler.

Tell me more about how synthetic clothes are causing microplastics in the house? Is this actually worse than synthetic shower curtains off gassing VOCs all day?

I unfortunately do not know what things are worse than others because the work I was doing wasn't about microplastic itself, it's just that it required very sterile environments and plastic pollution in the building was the biggest problem with it. I'm just commenting on the quantitative observatioms I made throughout those projects, so take it with some scepticism
