    If something is ever done to reduce microplastic exposure, will the crime rate go down even further?

      Well lead already has a known correlation with violence (I forget why exactly, but it's a thing). So reduced exposure would logically make sense to see a reduction in violence.

      I dunno if microplastics are correlated with violence. From what I remember (and I'm too lazy to look) it causes a bunch of issues like "peepee no work" and maybe cancer and other genetic damage. Not sure about making people more prone to violence though.

      Maybe the mixture of no "rage fuel" from lead plus all the males' testes collectively shriveling like prunes due to microplastics created generations of soyboys 🤔 (the Heritage foundation can DM me for payment info if they wanna run this conspiracy theory.)

        I read that there were attempts to test the effects of microplastics on humans, but we cannot truly do any research on this, because we cannot find a control group.
