Anybody who ever says #urine is sterile has clearly never had to use a urine collector for a period of time to measure how much they #pee (the joys of becoming older). Let's just say pee is *not* #sterile.
balls update: i got a vasectomy #sterile

Why On Earth Did We Think #Urine Was #Sterile?

You've probably heard that urine is sterile. And we're only just learning that's not true. Understanding the #urinarymicrobiome could help us find new ways to treat #kidneystones, #UTIs, and even #bladdercancer.

Celebrations for a victory in Europe
By an England that fosters fascism
With its rejection of the European
Union, and its bowing down to the
Bullying of America. This is beyond
Irony, with the sterile mainstream
Media ignoring that the populist
And racist parties are fighting for
Exactly what the Allies in that war
Were fighting against.

#MastoPrompt: Thurs 8th May 2025: #sterile

Silence.
Profound.
All-encompassing.
Eternal.
Yet, it echoes with what was.
Dreams.
Imaginings.
Wonderment.
Hope.
What could be.

All laid to dust in the bleak and #sterile, heartlessness of what is.

Our fate sealed by the folly of what we allowed to pass.

Only regret remains in the chill of the aftermath.

what can truly grow
dry sterile environment
no pruning just fire

#Sterile

Remove the culture,
Purging foe with righteous fire,
Victor-yet barren.

#Forsythia are #ornamental #shrubs in Central #Europe that are originally native to #Asia. The shrubs planted in #parks in Germany are the hybrids Forsythia x #intermedia. It is a hybridization of the species F. suspensa and F. viridissima. As a result of €globalwarming, the flowering period in Central Europe is shifting further and further forward. The flowers are #sterile and therefore of no interest to #pollinating insects.

#Sterile Businesses

Clinically sterile places, shops, restaurans are on the rise.
Recognize them by white walls, simplistic glass and metal interiors.

They demonstrate how devoid of #life they are.
Life is complex, intricate, filigrane.

They are an omen of their intention to #suck out your life (and #money) out of you.
