  • I read a review article that summed up the effects of toxic levels of lead on the human body and how many Americans were exposed to toxic levels and bruh…Boomers had an 80% toxic level exposure percentage and of all living US citizens, it’s currently 50% with 2019 births as the cutoff year. Lead has well known developmental effects, this expanded it to show it has a 60% chance of causing adhd, with further effects causing autism, and in severe cases Cerebellar Hypodysplasia (basically underdeveloped cerebellum, makes walking and balance very difficult).

    And the kicker, why and where did the exposures come from? I guessed lead in metal piping and lack of strict water contamination regulations in some places. I wasn’t expecting the answer to be because leaded gasoline was banned in fucking 1996. I thought it was banned in like the 80s or something, but no we were poisoned and I see its effects in so many of my peers, the adhd particularly.







  • I joined Reddit back in 2011 not long after /r/Reddit was turned into a shell of its former self and ngl…I felt late to the party. Everyone always talked about it lol. And it’s kinda funny how this came back around in the end, I get to join /c/Reddit, which is some prime closure👌 and I remember it being my first rodeo where the community and posters got screwed by the Admins.
