People need to stop using PTFE Teflon coated frying pans.

Okay but can I keep using my Teflon condoms?

werefreeatlast ,

Yes. That’s how you get plastic particles up the hoo-ha. Or no, wait.

So wait, if you didn’t use a Teflon condom, what particles would you find in people’s vaginas? Does that mean that plastic wants to become human? 🤔😯

Somewhat relevant: I recently stopped using a plastic-bodied electric kettle to boil water for drinks because it was often making drinks taste "of plastic". I have to imagine that some of that would have been redistributed, well, in places implied by this article.

This makes me wonder what regular, close-to-source plastics the tested men were using around the time.

Of course, there's also that a lot of the water supply goes through plastic pipes these days. It would be interesting to know how much of that, specifically, ends up coming out in people's homes.

They found macroplastics in my sample. Plastics so dang macro, they skipped the microscope and put my sample straight in the recycling bin to be sent off and become a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi.

Everything is contaminated with micro plastics.

Got it! Understood.

  1. What damage is it doing in these places?
  2. How do we mitigate that damage?

That’s what papers should be focusing on at this point IMHO.

WolfLink ,

It’s hard to figure out exactly what’s the damage when the contamination is so widespread.

A study to find the effects of the microplastics might be to find some amount of men with microplastics and some without, and follow up with those men overtime to see if the ones without microplastics have less reproductive issues, cancer rates, etc. instead they find everyone is contaminated so there’s no one we can make a comparison to.

ipkpjersi ,

They would have to find men without microplastics, which might end up being extremely difficult.

Fedizen ,

it would be funny if the thing that eventually destroys us is some kind of genetic timebomb microplastic syndrome.

Let me coin the phrase acronym TBMS.

I’ve been trying for ages

werefreeatlast ,

What ages?

RavuAlHemio ,

At first I read “tasted”…

jaybone ,

Probably that too.

CoggyMcFee ,

What, you’ve never heard of a taste test?

Next time they’ll store it in glass containers

notfromhere ,

Could it be possible their test kits are contaminating the samples?

I’m just glad I found a cheap renewable way to get filament for my 3d printer

Too bad you don’t have a bigger extrusion nozzle!

Zehzin ,
@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not the thickness of the nozzle that matters but how you use your hotend

billiam0202 ,

That’s what people with small extrusion nozzles say!

gravitas_deficiency ,

A small nozzle is perfectly sufficient if you’re working with enough axes.

explore_broaden ,

I never noticed that the plural of axe and axis are spelled the same.

I … umm … like I don’t have testicles but if someone suggested I do this to my ovaries, they’d be having a really big bad day.

Don’t worry, Judge Alito and his band of supremes are right on it. I’m sure.

Billionaires endorsing micro plastic testicle cleansing treatments in 5, 4, 3…

Okay sir, this is gonna feel a little cold for a few seconds okay, but it warms up a little. I’m just gonna poke this tube up your urethra. Oh that? That’s the ultrasonic creame and we use this wand to direct the energy towards the bad plastics. Not the good plastics, those we don’t have to worry about.
