By some estimates, Spruce Pine accounted for 70 percent of the high-purity quartz needed to produce the pure silicon used to make most advanced chips

I don’t think anyone was thinking a mine’s slowdown would kill their current phone lol

Any specific type of feminism you’re interested in? Like someone else said, De Beauvoir is probably a good starting point

Right… you brought whataboutism into a thread about the impact of meat and dairy and made it about palm oil.

Do you do this on articles about Hurricane Helene? I’m really lost as to how we got here if you’re now saying you are against whataboutism

I can’t tell if this is satire or not? Ok fine, one animal is endangered by palm oil. Thousands are endangered by meat deforestation.

This is why advocates were scared of this report. Because people would read the executive summary and not the full thing. You need an INSANE amount of fluoride for the effects described.

But yes, if you are in an area where there is like 100x the ADA recommended dose of fluoride in your water, your kid may lose a couple IQ points. Nothing like lead, mind you, but a couple

Edit: let’s talk about healthy things. Coffee increases your productivity. What happens if you drink 100 cups at once? Yeah, excessive things are bad
