- silisili 2y agoThat's both a misleading headline and a really odd unit of measurement. So odd that I wouldn't be surprised if the US adopted it as the official unit of measurement of microplastics (I kid, as an American).
- ryandrake 2y agoHow many Bald Eagle Per Football Fields would that amount to?
- smnrchrds 2y ago- There is a horrifying 512-ounce version that they call Child size. How is this a Child-sized soda? - Well, it's roughly the size of a two-year old child, if the child were liquefied.
- mindwok 2y agoI find this hilarious. Why would they choose such a misleading unit
- card_zero 2y agoIsn't it about the same? How big is a spoon, anyway?
- upghost 2y agodo we need a unit conversion for how many spoonfuls of plastic are in a plastic spoon?? seems like it might be important for this article. Well article says a teaspoon has 7g mass, and just spitballin here but I'd say a plastic spoon has about 1g/cm^3 density. And there are 4.83cm^3 in a teaspoon. So I guess in fact there are 1.44 teaspoons of teaspoon in the brain. Or would that be 1.44 tsp^2...? But I'm an American and I have at least 3 imperial teaspoons of microplastic in my brain or gosh darnit I'm 2 bald eagles short of a touch down. If you know what I'm sayin.[1] [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42958104 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42958104
