Several years ago, on a crowded commuter train in southern england, I was standing in the aisle, being miserable with many other miserable people, and there was an annoying persistent rattling noise. it was loud, inconsistent but constant, and designed to inflict suffering. Eventually I worked out that it was a window, which obviously needed to be open because it was sweltering hot, but which (being a british train not in London) was a piece of shit falling apart.

I took a random scrap of receipt from my pocket, folded it up, and with a serene "pardon me" popped that fucker straight into the part of the window that was rattling. the rattle stopped instantly. silence spread like a balm. the bliss was intense, palpable, intimate. I felt powerful love and affection. sometimes things happen like that.

did they all applaud you? They should have

[elodieunderglass]

Haha, not in the British isles, “and then they all clapped” is only for something truly spectacular (although i personally think they’re more willing than Americans to suddenly chant things in unison or react collectively). But the British do a good line in collectively convening a silent court of public opinion, that passes and broadcasts judgement. Sometimes the psychic battles and disturbances can get intense, and may erupt into someone actually saying something out loud pointedly. But in this case, there was nobody in favour of the clattering window, and plenty of people bothered, and the solution unobtrusive. I think I got a few thoughtful nods avoiding all eye contact, and perhaps some reflective head tilts

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.
