So the pee isn’t stored in the balls, but the microplastics are

catloaf ,

There’s microplastics in your urine too.

Wait so microplastics in one ball, pee in the other?

Not even in the Mayo clinic?

They stayed above the waist.

zout ,

Fair enough, how are you doing now? Any word out from them yet?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

We’re looking into intensive therapy programs at the moment. Hopefully we’ll find something by the end of the week, but we had to wait until my daughter’s school year was over.

zout ,

For what it's worth, I hope they find something to get you well again.

How do you think they get the microplastics in your balls in the first place? Can’t have you knowing.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

If I knew, I might have let them put some extra in for good luck!

moody ,

They said “every testicle in study.”

Yours were not in the study.

Can you prove it?

dodgy_bagel ,

yes.

Empricorn ,

Fine. Please urinate into a coffee mug. Someone will be by soon to collect the sample…

Definitely the signs of a healthy civilization

alilbee ,

We’ve obviously seen a lot of studies about the proliferation of microplastics. They seem to be in practically everything and everyone to an almost cellular level. Are there any modern studies or even just hypotheses for what the actual effects are? Has it just not been long enough for us to gather data?

AmbroisindeMontaigu ,

The problem might be that if they're everywhere there's no control group without them, so it's hard to say if an effect is actually caused by microplastics or not.

piecat ,

In a laboratory setting, presumably you could makeq conditions clean enough to grow a cell culture that is free from micro plastics. But that isn’t going to tell you much about systemic effects like in an organ or body.

Maybe you could breed mice in a clean room. Not sure what the generational half life of microplastics is…

The alternative you could probably test is levels of Microplastics. Grow a number of colonies with varying levels of microplastics and compare between them.

aesthelete ,

I have a hypothesis that the proliferation of microplastics could be related to the rising cancer rates in young people nobody can yet explain.

At very least, people should stop microwaving plastic containers.

theneverfox ,

Don’t forget the food… And the water, and the water used to grow the food, etc. Creating a clean generation of even mice would be pretty difficult, it’s just everywhere, including most of the tools we’d use to make a cleanroom

011000010111001101110011 ,

Yes. Dr Shanna Swan wrote a book about it called Countdown. She’s proven that it is having a direct impact on our reproductive system as an endocrine disruptor.

SkyezOpen ,

Eh, humanity is overrated anyway. I’m not an extinctionist, but if we wipe ourselves out that would pretty funny and appropriate.

FordBeeblebrox ,

Honestly after watching society and social media for the last few years…just go ahead and demolish the planet to build the bypass.

zatanas ,

Thanks for the fish.

Aux ,

The only way to improve the climate is to dramatically decrease the human population. If plastics are good at it, I say USE MORE PLASTICS!!!

Kalothar ,

This is just not true, it’s 4 companies driving almost alll climate impacting technologies, human population has been stabilizing across the board and human race is projected to peak at 10 billion.

We have the resources to accommodate that number. It’s our technology, not the people and it’s fucking corporations.

Aux ,

Human population should peak below 1B.

Kalothar ,

Ah yes, im sure you have many figures and sources of why that is a fact

…and it’s totally not your opinion “that human bad and number must go down because I’m smart and cynical”

yamanii ,
@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, yo go first.

Aux ,

I started 3D printing all the shit for a reason!

stoly ,

The problem is that plastics are not stable. They are constantly breaking down and releasing an array of chemicals in the process. Great, now they’re inside us too. Oh. They’re inside everything else too so yay?

Klnsfw ,

Microplastics are midi-chlorian without the Force. They connect us to all that lives.

Ragnarok314159 ,

So an issue of correlation and causality.

There are a lot of gastro surgeons and specialists that are running long term studies on increased stomach and colon cancer rates in relation to microplastics. A few of them have come out and started recommending colonoscopies starting at 40 instead of 50.

TheReturnOfPEB ,

This is true. I had mine teste,d and there was one of my testicles that had way more microplastics than the other two.

Track_Shovel ,

Tested for what?

TheReturnOfPEB ,

They are testes. They are still there.

Fades ,

How does that answer their question in any way??

libretron ,

Whoosh.

stoly ,

It’s really a bad joke and people are jerks for not explaining it.

Someone who rents a place is a renter or a rentee. The testicle is still there because it was just a testee. Or something like that.

FUBAR ,

That doesn’t make sense in the context of the joke.

So recycle, gotcha.

You can probably use it in a 3d printer

I laughed so hard at this. That’s clever. Thank you. xD

Blackmist ,

No, you just wash it, ship it to Cheapistan and let them throw it in the sea.

Kanda ,

They burn it nowadays

Ragnarok314159 ,

It’s now a type of Nerf ammo.

Rayspekt ,

So can we call them plasticles now?

Gradually_Adjusting ,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

When they’re made of plastic, they’re called nuticles.

aeronmelon ,

These were the testicles, here are the resulticles.

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.

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.

ChaoticEntropy , (edited )
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

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 😏

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

Scientists say discovery may be linked to decades-long decline in sperm counts in men around the world

This is no issue to me, as someone who doesn't prioritize having sex and has no intent to bring children into this awful world.

grrgyle ,

Yeah same, but I worry about all the other affects like cancers, other mutations, some third horrible thing…

nomous ,

Yeah I have no doubt all kinds of weird cancers and degenerative diseases are going to be rampant in 50 or so years.

Plastics breaking down and leeching into everything is going to make climate change look like leaded gas/paint.
