        It’s 14,000 to 75,000, not millions.

        Microplastics are in the range of one micrometer to five millimeters, not nanometers.

          That changes literally nothing of what I said. Your brain did not evolve to process those scales accurately. If you think you can, that just means you’re lacking in self reflection.

            Being factually incorrect about literally everything you said changes nothing? Okay.

            More importantly, humans are capable of abstract thought. Your whole argument is specious. If you find yourself lacking the context to understand these numbers, you can easily seek context. A good starting place would be the actual paper, which is linked in OP’s article.

              Yeah bruh, it’s this little thing called being pedantic.

              If I say wealth inequality is crazy, no one should have 250 billion dollars, and you say ‘well actually Jeff Bezos only has 210 billion dollars’, then I will be factually incorrect and my point will still be completely valid.
