Reply to comment by -Ch4s3- in UV light from the sun slowly breaks down plastics on the ocean’s surfaces: researchers calculate that about two percent of visibly floating plastic may disappear from the ocean surface in this way each year by giuliomagnifico
a lot of the problem is plastic packaging and wasted fishing materials. there is a always going to be a place for plastic, but a lot of the waste can easily be replaced by renewable/ biodegradable products

Reply to Children as young as 4 years old show evidence of a network in the brain found in adults that tackles difficult cognitive problems, a new fMRI study found. Researchers were surprised, thinking it may take longer for the multiple demand network to differentiate in humans. by geoff199
for a long time most people, even psychologists, thought kids were just dumb, seemingly drunk little people. kids are actually smart af, they just don't know a lot of things. they pick up anything and everything multiple times faster than even well-educated adults. hopefully, people will one day stop being surprised that children are just as cognitively capable as adults
