It's both.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
"debris" is like "rice" and "milk". It's considered an uncountable so it is the same word in plural and singular. /pulled out of ass

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Coming from the WI border, I need to be in the north side by 8am tomorrow morning, which mapquest tells me will take just over an hour. Taking into account rush hour traffic, does leaving at 6am sound reasonible, or am I over-compensating for the traffic?
Traffic isn't really bad until after 8. You'll probably be safe allowing 1 1/2 hours instead of 2.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Isn't it a mass noun?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Anyone have a theory about whether "debris" is singular or plural?
I think singular because it refers to a grouping. The grouping is singular.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm having mac and cheese (and salsa) right now.
Pretty great.

I'm having a pork chop, sweet potato and okra. Also tasty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Story of Stickmas
And there were in the National Zoo pandas abiding in the panda enclosure, keeping watch over their food pellets by night. And, lo, their long hoped for libido came upon them, and Mei Xiang, at long last, started lookin' really fine to Tian Tian, and, the next morning, I'm afraid they were sore.
But fear not: for, behold, they brought us good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you was born July the ninth in the District of Columbia a Savior, which is Butterstick. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the cub on the pandacam, playing with a buttplug. Though, not in THAT way.
Glory to the Stick in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Debris is everywhere! Debris are everywhere!
First sounds right to me.
