This is actually pretty exciting. They’ve found a way to turn plastic into food.
Mushrooms are such amazing things. Most are decomposers, meaning they break stuff down into its original components. Some break down dead wood, or animals, others can break down toxic waste, and apparently this one can break down plastic. How cool is that?
Pestalotiopsis microspora (a mushroom found in the Amazon rainforest) consumes polyurethane, the key ingredient in plastic products, and converts it to organic matter.
Further, Pestalotiopsis microspora can live without oxygen, which suggests enormous potential for feeding on, and thus cleaning up, landfills.
It takes just a few weeks for the mycelium to start breaking down plastic, and in a few months’ time, the plastic is completely broken down, and all that’s left is a white puffy mushroom. Even if not eaten or used for anything else, the mushroom could be composted and turned in to soil at a much faster rate than that of plastic, which is estimated to take 400 years to decompose on its own.
“Aspergillus tubingensis, which was found in Pakistan, is capable of eroding plastics such as polyester polyurethane, which is often used in refrigerator insulation and synthetic leather.”
I only learned one minute ago that instead of a single adjustable tap like the entire rest of the world, the sinks in Britain just have a separate “hot” tap and separate “cold” tap. What the fuck is that shit. How do you people get lukewarm water out?? You just have to wait until the sink itself fills with both extremes???
yer all sayin America has these two and I’ve never seen one in three decades of living from one coast to the other, my mind is blown
OKAY IT SEEMS SOME PEOPLE DIDN’T REALIZE WHAT THIS WAS ABOUT BECAUSE THE PHOTO ISN’T CLEAR ENOUGH
There are two different faucets on that sink. Two spouts. One only has a “hot” knob and one only has a “cold” knob. Two streams of water come out of this type of sink and neither can come out lukewarm. Here’s another photo of one:
They apparently do make it difficult enough that you can buy adapters for them and some people just make their own:
There are also lots of British people complaining about them in memes:
So I was right that these things are a shitty pain in the ass, I dunno if they’re really at their most common in Britain but I know I have seen 10,000 sinks in America and every single one just had the single stream.
He think he’s brave enought to snack a women’s behind but not brave enough to face the consequences?
They won’t stop until they get punished. He thinks what he did was ok. That is why we need Womanism.
He’s been identified, what we need is for her to follow thru and FILE CHARGES now because that’s the ONLY way he’ll face punishment, don’t let his ass slide.
Runner who slapped reporter’s behind on live TV has been identified and banned from future running events, charges pending
Men always talk about being afraid to interact with women nowadays because they don’t want to be perceived as perverts–but simply not patting a woman on the butt seems so simple.
If you don’t want to be perceived as a predator, don’t be a fucking predator.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
