There’s a joke here somewhere.
Da-wuh?
How about microplastics?
„Chemical“ is the least helpful description of all time. Think they’re referring to BPA
most of the dummies I know should not be reproducing
One replied saying the levels were insignificant? At 19 micrograms per kilogram Their regulatory and pr team need sacking with that response.
The TDI level of BPA is 0.2ng/kg of bodyweight, the 10ppb limit is the historic regulatory not detect level which is out of date for BPA and the general catch all can’t cause harm to human health clause would supersede it. Stricter limits are in place for other applications (food contact).
Had me in the first half title.
What about smart people?
This sounds like something Liz Lemons‘ ex boyfriend would say
Only semi-related: one of my favourite book titles ever is Home Schooling for Dummies. The poor kid that sees that on his mom’s bookshelf.
>found in dummies
I feel personally attacked
British English is an unserious language.
its about BPA, something we now since like 20 years.
It’s BPA. They found BPA in plastics marked non BPA. Saved you the click.
Even if that baby is obese and has cancer, it’s just plain mean to call him a dummy.
Each day, I’m more and more glad I was never a baby.
Bad enough for someone to have those ailments but do they have to call them dummies!
Chemical = BPA
Dummies = pacifier
and yet the idiots are reproducing faster than ever.
Tremendous headline.
I’m not a dummy, just an ignore-a-moose. Am I safe?
They must have tested me in my sleep
English is not my first language. I never heard „dummy“ refer to pacifier before, I was totaly lost on the headline.
Okkkkkk. I think I finally understand. A dummy is a pacifier and not something you put clothes for sale on, that you crash test or an actual doll?
It finally makes sense. Cookie v biscuit et al
That’s good that dummies are going to breed less. We need fewer of them in the world.
Estrogen receptor agonist lowers sperm count. Makes sense
Good thing I’m super smart. I’ll be lean, and full of sperm forever.
