Agora ,

The human testicles had a plastic concentration almost three times higher than that found in the dog testes: 330 micrograms per gram of tissue compared with 123 micrograms. Polyethylene, used in plastic bags and bottles, was the most common microplastic found, followed by PVC.

So my balls are to 1/3 made of plastic?

billwashere ,

Ummm there are 1,000,000 micrograms in a gram so 330 micrograms per gram is 0.033% not 33%.

But I imagine Lance Armstrong is averaging about 50% so who knows.

Jano ,

Yours, sure.

badbytes ,

If the researchers are pretty, I would like to have my testicles in that study.

tegs_terry ,

Rubber balls and liquor.

Our dicks are now reclassified as Nerf Guns.

Lost_My_Mind ,

Can mine be the BallZooka? It shot like 30 balls in 10 seconds.

StaySquared ,

All by design. The powers that be want to limit the world population. Slow kill is a tool.

BTW, in testicles like sperm? Or somehow melded to the organs?

Ragnarok314159 ,

Which is why reproductive rights are being stripped away? Can’t have it both ways.

StaySquared ,

Live in the U.S.?

Check all the ingredients of everything you eat and drink. You bathe with, you wash dishes with, you wash clothes with, you use for lawn care etc… Even medications are forms of slow kill. All of which is approved by governing bodies like the FDA.

I have macro plastics in mine

We really have sacrificed our species atop the fire of industry.

abcdqfr ,

Got us to the moon in a relative jiffy though. Makes you wonder what majority of industrialized life ever burns itself out vs external circumstances.

We’ve been pretty up ourselves about it though, a blank flag waving on the moon will be cold comfort for the burning remains of our civilisation. I could imagine this being the inevitable end to an intelligent species, smart enough to destroy itself but dumb enough to destroy itself.

Tilgare ,

This is why we’ve never seen or heard aliens out in the universe. Every civilization burns itself out faster than they can solve long distance space travel. Maybe the Great Filter is just the inherent nature of sentient beings. It would make me feel better to know that every other civilization to ever exist in the universe also destroyed itself in this manner, but maybe we are a special level of stupid.

squeakycat ,

TIL about the Great Filter. Thanks for the rabbit hole!

amphetaminisiert ,

Yeah suck out all of my microplastics stepsister 😏

Hey girl, want that face covered in microplastics?

I have productionicles

PlexSheep ,

You have testicles too, just some people also have producionicles

(That was a hilarious wordplay by you)

Oh yeah? Well, study thi…oh…

Definitely the signs of a healthy civilization

Its all in the way we wrap it, all in the way we wrap it

ColeSloth ,

Between the microplastics, the pfoas and other fluorine based stuff from 3M, and the lead in fuel that airplanes are still allowed to use, and the lack of a more natural diet, it’s no wonder we’re all so screwed up.

mPony ,

well that and being told for your entire life that you could be anything you want and do anything with your life that you chose as long as you worked hard (oh, and voted for tax cuts for the rich).

Aux ,

People were using lead in day to day life for thousands of years.

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

So?

ColeSloth ,

For thousands of years it wasn’t aerosolized. It isn’t even debated anymore. It’s a known and accepted fact that it has made people dumber.

Aux ,

Yeah, it was simply added directly to the food as a sweetener. No biggie…

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Nothing new under the sun

“One study speculates that Roman wine contained as much as 20 milligrams of lead per liter. Over time, the researchers said it would cause a “decrease in fertility and increase in psychosis among the Roman aristocracy….” Lead was also suspected to have been used in Egyptian winemaking vessels.”

dejected_warp_core ,

Wait, what?

lead in fuel that airplanes are still allowed to use

Oh shit.

Ragnarok314159 ,

No. No no, the chem trail people cannot be right. This is the worst day. (So far!)

dejected_warp_core ,

To be fair, I think this is for gas engines and not jet engines. So big commercial airports, and the con chem trail generating traffic, are in the clear.

No, it’s just the smaller airports and tiny fields used for crop dusters. You know. The ones that are literally everywhere. :(

ealoe ,

It’s worse than “allowed” to use, in the US it’s more like “required to use”. Newer engines that work on unleaded gas exist, and even some older engines are perfectly capable on unleaded gas. However, the FAA has to test and approve each part that goes on an airplane, and it’s a ton of work to do that for every type of airplane engine. Unless the government subsidized such testing and paid for unleaded fuel tanks to be installed all over the country, it’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

Zacryon ,

If you can’t spread your sperm, spread awareness about microplastics.
