I mean, they state their reasoning right there in their post, if you care to read it.

The result of more than two decades of work, Rubin Observatory is perched at the summit of Cerro Pachón in Chile, where dry air and dark skies provide one of the world's best observing locations. Rubin's innovative 8.4-meter telescope has the largest digital camera ever built, which feeds a powerful data processing system. Later in 2025, Rubin will begin its primary mission, the Legacy Survey of Space and Time, in which it will ceaselessly scan the sky nightly for 10 years to precisely capture every visible change.

The result will be an ultrawide, ultra-high-definition time-lapse record of the universe. It will bring the sky to life with a treasure trove of billions of scientific discoveries. The images will reveal asteroids and comets, pulsating stars, supernova explosions, far-off galaxies and perhaps cosmic phenomena that no one has seen before.

This is amazing

I think it was tossed around on Reddit a lot, too, back in the day, increasing its permeation through our ilk

Too bad there's absolutely no media with any major viewership left to hold him accountable

I like beer and would definitely prefer my beer not contain microplastics

Your complete lack of an argument doesn't make you sound any smarter

"Antibacterial" soaps aren't strictly banned in Europe, but many of the ingredients used in antibacterial soaps in the US are. Sorry these dense mfs giving you grief

The term "anti-bacterial" is a marketing term. It doesn't indicate anything about the specific ingredients in a product. For example, triclosan and benzalkonium chloride are banned in hand soaps in the EU but in wide use in the US. Products in both regions can be marketed as "anti-bacterial" but contain completely different ingredients. You're willfully ignoring what I first said while falling head over heels for product marketing and implying I'm the one who's not smart lmao
