Microplastics have now been found inside most prostate cancer tumors — and at strikingly higher levels than in healthy tissue.

      I’m curious why we always blame the boomers when it’s actually the baby boomers that are responsible for this.

      Our grandparents did good things. It’s their children that fucked it all up with their greed and entitlement.

        You realize that the boomers ARE the baby boomers right? It’s like saying Gen-Z, or Zoomers. Same generation.

          Not really anymore. Boomer is just a generic term for old people standing in the way of progress now.

              But the term isn’t only used against baby boomers. It’s basically the same as ‘fogie’ from back in the day. I guarantee you that there are Gen X people who have been called boomer unironically

                Gen X are worse than baby boomers. They gave us the antivaxx movement.

                Killing future children with climate change was taking too long so they went with preventable diseases.

        In case you’re not joking, Baby Boomers = Boomers. Their parents were from the Silent Generation or the Greatest Generation. Baby Boomer refers to people born in the “baby boom” caused by the prosperity and optimism following WWII, and these days is often shortened to just Boomer.
