News@lemmy.world•Red Cross declares crisis over blood shortage in US for second time in history
18·2 days agoDonating blood can slightly reduce your amount of microplastics and PFAS since the blood your body makes to replace the donated blood will not contain those things.

5·7 days agoTo me it sounds like an angry sentient inner tube from a shitty water park. Tommy hates Thomas the tank engine, who happens to be completely oblivious to his existence.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Los Angeles Police Department is ending its agreement with FlockEnglish
21·21 days agoI’d bet Flock makes it hard for the city to demand the cameras be removed.
I can only speak for my city but there was a flock camera for years on a road leading to my house. I pointed it out to someone one day and the next it was gone.
Turns out the mayor had ended the city’s contract and all of the cameras were removed.
Granted, nearby there is a hardware store in another city that has flock cameras on each road through the parking lot.
The customer is implying that it is obvious between a barbie and a hot wheels which is gendered for boys. So instead of saying which toy they want, they are expecting the employee to identify which is for boys. It’s a subtle way of reinforcing gender binary and societal expectations of what is “appropriate” for children to want to play with.
Ok. Is there any website or forum for people who are making their own accessories for board games?
Not just tabletop gaming or 3D printing, I’m looking for something with the emphasis on board games first and foremost.

4·1 month agoNo, you’re thinking of opossums. Opinions are a class of pain medications that are now tightly controlled due to the high likelihood of addiction.
I’ve never shipped anything through a UPS store but their website explicitly states that they offer packing services.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•FDA allows popular sunscreen ingredient long used in Europe and AsiaEnglish
7·2 months agoThis paper isn’t free at the link but you can read the abstract, partially quoted below:
“We examined the effects of oxybenzone on the larval form (planula) of the coral Stylophora pistillata, as well as its toxicity in vitro to coral cells from this and six other coral species. Oxybenzone is a photo-toxicant; adverse effects are exacerbated in the light. Whether in darkness or light, oxybenzone transformed planulae from a motile state to a deformed, sessile condition. Planulae exhibited an increasing rate of coral bleaching in response to increasing concentrations of oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is a genotoxicant to corals, exhibiting a positive relationship between DNA-AP lesions and increasing oxybenzone concentrations. Oxybenzone is a skeletal endocrine disruptor; it induced ossification of the planula, encasing the entire planula in its own skeleton.”

11·2 months agoI quit facebook about 15 years ago. I still have people trying to share facebook links with me or suggesting I make a fake account for whatever bullshit reason they think I need one. Even reasonable and well-educated people in my life don’t seem to understand the purpose of not having facebook is not having fucking facebook.
