As it turns out, we humans have gotten good at littering, and not just in the forests and oceans, but in space too. Yes, you’ve read that correctly - we’ve managed to treat the orbit around our precious little rock as if it were our personal space junkyard. But unlike most junkyards, this crap is zipping around at thousands of miles per hour, on the hunt for the next object to smash into.

In this episode, cj & Jeff explore the concept of Kessler’s Syndrome, and just how we’ve goten as close as we have to this pivotal moment.

But before we get to the junk, some quick comments on snakes, EVs, classic printers, and banning Chinese cars in the US. Another day, another dollar.

In this episode, cj & Jeff get into the trouble with China, at least some of the technical ones including tiny chips, EVs, AI, and 5G infrastructure. There’s a lot to unpack, and the boys barely get a chance to double-click on even a few talking points.

Fortunately, there’s a little bit of everything in this episode, from naming parts of a baguette to elitist keyboard layouts and surprising cats with fruit; everything you’ve come to expect from Nonsense.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a vast accumulation of plastic debris floating in the North Pacific Ocean. It's estimated to be twice the size of Texas, with millions of tons of plastic waste. This patch is a result of ocean currents that trap debris in a gyre. It's a significant environmental concern -- but who is responsible for it?

But before we get to that, the boys remember James Earl Jones, look at Apple and Google's recent defeats in the EU, and discuss the world's first tri-fold phone.
