@@Devin_Jazzberry It depends on how good your city's facilities are and how high your standards are. You can get your tap water tested to see what's in it. I use water filters just because our water tastes terrible because it's really hard water. Water softeners are commonly used here due to that. They also help lengthen the life of your appliances by preventing that mineral buildup.

Yeah for real, he needs to chillllll 😂 The thing is... he isn't entirely wrong.

This is true for a lot of pharmaceuticals, not just birth control. BUT he is of course vastly overstating the problem. It's a basic engineering issue: we weren't treating water for pharmaceuticals because we thought we didn't need to, some scientists are finding that it's impacting local wildlife near treatment plants, so we need to improve our water treatment to include filtering them. It's not scary or bad, it's a small mistake that's easy to correct, and is probably already being taken care of.

[@anonymy.y9212]

@@suchnothing Its only a basic engineering issue, if you firmly belief in a world where every problem can be more or less easily be solved with technology and all that fast enough before it produces big issues. That is a philosophy that doesnt really work for the environment or the global weather right now as we have more and more dying species (96% of biomass are we and our livestock) and rising temperatures with no concrete plan to stop that. Of course he overstates the problem, especially that men get feminine/ gay/ infertile, but i dont think we shouldnt be concerned. It is bad and we should do something against it and if its a small or big mistake is debatable. But many small mistakes (global warming, pesticides, chemicals of cloth/ leather/ pharma production, microplastic etc) can be a big mistake especially if you want to tackle all of them with limited government resources. You dont just upgrade all treatment plants (many built in the 50/60s) to filter all pharma out while also letting pharma produce more and more pills for minor problems and expect it to be a small, easy mistake. We might believe that because big polluting industries got outsourced and the western world doesnt see them as often but i think thats a false sense of security.

The amount of mechanics we have should be evidence of that.

[@Diphyidae]

I am marine biologist with a parent that actually worked in freshwater pollution research, so I feel like I can give a bit of a clarification for the dude at 13:46. While we are not peeing the frogs gay, we are, as a society, peeing a lot of prescriptions into the water and the water treatment plants have no way to remove them. As a result there have been a lot of studies that have found prescription medications in the water that have potentially impacted various aspects of aquatic organisms. It's been a while since I've reviewed the literature but I do remember seeing some studies finding a potential link to physiological changes in fish to concentrations of urinated prescription medications. The field looking at this is still relatively new so it's difficult today to say how far reaching any impacts may be, let alone what these impacts even are. Some biologists have theorized that our peeing antibiotics out has contributed to the proliferation of antibiotic resistant pathogens. It's a complicated field that really does deserve a lot more attention, education, and funding, so we can avoid nut cases that overstate effects like "it's turning the frogs gay" or the opposite statements of "we should just ignore it because it's a made up issue." I am a huge advocator of research into removing these prescription medications from our urine in water treatment plants, solely from a pollution reduction standpoint and maintaining healthy ecosystems for the long term with regards to impacts from human societies.

[@EffUpAgain]

Mostly agree with you, for more clarification: Biochem tech. here who worked in a water treatment plant for over 10y: Despite not being commonly implemented in many places (costly, not always practical, archaic plants) some processes do actually denature proteins enough to break em down to unusable form (boiling, some organic solvents, radiation, some acids/bases/salts) Some don't work for everything, but in combination you can destroy/reduce significantly the presence of most drugs/hormones/pathogens. It's called treatment for a reason, some countries/states/cities still just dump the water after simple decantation/filtration. (If your city does this, have your water checked from time to time, just in case... Some don't even really check their aqueduct system and/or don't fully treat intake water/maintain pipes very well)

[@enenenergp]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@EffUpAgain Just a note: most drugs are not proteins or peptides, even many hormones like estrogen, are not peptides. So they can’t really be denatured. A lot of drugs can be pretty robust and hard to break down into a safe and inactive form (I think especially if even your body wasn’t able to metabolize them), and you might need more than the most basic physical and chemical tools to get rid of them.

[@deavilanancy]

What can we do to get more information about this? Or is it something we should even worry about for now?

[@ibukunoluwaa.1143]

This comment should be pinned!

[@EffUpAgain]

@@enenenergp Sorry if I said it wrong, some of those process don't work for everything, and while I agree the hormones you mentionned are not peptides, the denaturation process is not the only one that can be used. Most plants already use filtration process for smaller debris however not all of them have molecular size membranes. We tested a variation on tangential filtration to filter down to 8000 Daltons in 2004, which permitted to filter out anything with a lower molecular (tested against a bunch of popular antibiotics, couldn't filter out penicillin, but vancomycin and many others were caught) Not absolutely sure it caught wind worldwide, but we were not the first to test something similar. Scalability was an issue back then, not being resolved entirely by 2012 when I changed field of work, but some private sector companies probably worked on it somewhere since. Plus some of the processes I mentionned previously also affect sulfur bonds which is present in many complex molecules or can affect non-peptidians in other ways (decarbonylation, dehydrogenation, etc.). Just saying the technology existed over a decade ago, I expect some places to have pushed the field further. Not an expert here, I was just a technician then. I worked in a bleaching agents plant and the coating industry after that. It's a bit far down memory lane and I have lot more to do than research specifically that field anymore... Maybe a currently active specialist could inform you more? Can't know everything 🤷‍♂ Sorry I wasn't specific enough at first, just thought my post was getting lenghty enough (most ppl don't even care to reply or even read em)😉 Thanks for the note!

4:25 which is wild to me, bc you're NOT supposed to let your cheeks puff up with air when playing brass instruments (I believe woodwind as well). It's probably the one thing that stuck with me from school band class. The gentleman pictured is one of the very infamous instances of this not being a problem, and an example of how you can still play really well even if you can't keep your cheeks taught. BUT, it's heavily discouraged, because for the most part it's improper form and produces a bad sound. Dizzy Gillespie was just that awesome, man. I haven't played trumpet in years, but he's still someone I greatly admire and hold in high regard.

[@MelissaBlue]

Exactly. It's terrible embouchure. I played trumpet in various jazz band classes and we were explicitly warned *not* to emulate our jazz trumpet heroes.

[@k1sfd1974]

As someone who plays brass and woodwind I can absolutely say it’s the same. I remember my elementary school music teacher and later my band director reading us the riot act for poor embouchure. He always said “if you keep that up, you’ll look like a chipmunk before you graduate college!” 😂

[@k1sfd1974]

@@nightspicerfrom what little I know of it (very little as a passing comment when I wore a younger man’s clothes) it’s because your using your mouth space as a sort of mini-bagpipe, correct? As I mentioned in another post here, I play both brass & woodwind, so I’m honestly curious…

4:07 barefoot style shoes are a real thing - it lets your toes spread out and doesn't have extra heel padding padding, which combine to allow a more natural load balance compared to the padded heels of popular running shoes and the like, But they're barefoot style SHOES, and as such have a sole to protect your feet from the ground and the many hazards there (pointy rocks/sticks/etc, hot pavement, slippery floors, dog/bird poop, funguses, etc) - the shoe is just shaped differently and the sole is flat and fairly thin. These shoes are actually quite good for your hips/knees/ankles as they let your legs relax more into the strides, and for your feet they will thicken your calluses, strengthen your fascia, improve your pedal dexterity, and overall increase your balance capabilities, but there are some downsides as well - the reduced padding means more impact stress which effects both your heel bone and your shock absorption systems in your knees and hips, more foot soreness, and the lack of arch support can cause increased symptoms in people that already have foot/leg problems (such as plantar fasciitis or bursitis)

[@itsdune079]

I can’t wear barefoot shoes because I have genetically flat feet! (my arches press into the floor when I stand)

[@rhov-anion]

@@itsdune079 Similar but opposite issue. I have extremely high arches, a genetic trait. Doctors operated on my older brother when I was little, cutting the tendon to lower the arch. I was told, once I stopped growing, I would need the same. I begged not to go through the pain I saw him endure, so in my teens I was sent to a specialist who made custom-sculpted hard plastic orthotics. Those have lasted me for almost 30 years. When I walk without them for more than a mile, my feet get the worst cramps. Barefoot is just not an option, unless it's around the house.

[@LesbeansSplatoon]

I wish I could wear them but I have weird toe webbing. Plus the worst part is that they are getting zero or the benefits of barefoot style shoes cuz their toes are still being pressed into the shape that makes bunions. Going barefoot can be good for you (to my knowledge), but not in places where there are things you need to protect your feet from

Im an ecologist, and yes, we are finding estrogen from bc in the fish. Yes, you are peeing out excessive estrogen from the pill and it is making its way into the fresh water system. In fact, its hurting the black bass population because it is damaging the male sex organs. Aquatic animals are very sensitive to water parameters, so just a little is very harmful to the wildlife. Also, because of the opioid epidemic and high rates of depression, we are finding opioids and anti depressants in oceanic fish, particularly off the coasts of Oregon and washington because so many people in Seattle have addiction and are on prescription meds for mental health issues. One city is causing not only an ecological crisis, but also a potential health crisis if people are eating contaminated wild caught fish from this region.

As a former histotechnician who has dealt with formalin (formaldehyde mixed with water and other chemicals to stabilize) to fix tissue there are allowable amounts that you can be exposed to before it becomes dangerous. I was around open containers of it for a period of time everyday. We had to wear monitor for 15 minute period every so often to make sure we were within the limits. It's frustrating for me to hear about all this.

This video made me realise that the ‘callus hole’ that was on my foot for multiple years of childhood and into adulthood was actually a plantar wart. I use to pick at it for YEARS thinking it was just weird skin like the skin on my finger tips from playing guitar that somehow formed a hole. Never got it checked out but at one point I picked it too much and the hole became very big and ended up feeling like I was walking on a stone. Eventually it did go away so I thought nothing of it till this video. I did get my hpv jag in school but we were never taught about hpv besides the fact that it can cause cancer. Thank you for explaining it in more detail in this video and informing me about what was wrong with my foot for so long. I do find it strange that it was there for over 10 years though. It’s possible I had one, it went away and then came back over and over? Not sure. From what I found they usually only last a couple years but take longer to heal in adults but it only went away a couple years ago. No hole but still some callous skin that’s not as soft as the skin surrounding it. Might get that checked out to be safe but yeah. Very strange
