microplastics are stored in the balls

[-] nick@midwest.social 20 points 3 months ago

Along with the pee? Damn my balls are pulling some double duty

[-] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

That’s why there are two.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 77 points 3 months ago

Answering the real question: "The scientists tested 23 human testes, as well as 47 testes from pet dogs. They found microplastic pollution in every sample." Saved you a click.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Why were there an odd number of testes tested? In general, the come in pairs.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

If they steal both, someone would notice. Steal one and replace it with a neuticle, and no one's the wiser.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Honestly, I wasn't watching when I had my vasectomy. I might be a statistic.

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

They messed up some of the samples and didn't include them in the data

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Oh God... Were the samples... the testes? Were they just thrown out like old leftovers?

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 55 points 3 months ago

MFW humans aren't even biodegradable any more.

I never really considered a tattoo, but perhaps something like this would be fitting:

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

A lot of tattoo inks can contain plastics and metals which enter the body through the skin. So it could be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But it's nice to know that long after I'm gone, my balls will be hanging on.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

To carry on

They'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone, believe me

Your testicles will carry on

[-] FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago

P~~ee~~lastic is stored in the balls.

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Is that why they're getting bigger??

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 months ago

Are those that ejaculate multiple times a day safe? Asking for a friend.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 points 3 months ago

I'm surprised how few comments there are making this joke

[-] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 3 months ago

The next song is called... Shooting microplastics from my cock

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 3 months ago

When I die, throw me in the recycle.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

But you can’t recycle plastic…

[-] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 months ago
[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Now you can start calling your orgies “the plastic ball pit”

[-] SoupBrick@pawb.social 12 points 3 months ago

Can't even eat balls anymore, smh.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago
[-] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 3 months ago

Luckily my testicles weren't studied, so I must be safe. Right?

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 6 points 3 months ago

If you don't look, ~~you won't see it~~, it's not there. Right?

[-] Name@feddit.nu 9 points 3 months ago

Huh, I didn't even notice when I got tested

[-] Rubisco@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Reminds me of Charles Moore talking about Bisphenol-A and males in Garbage Island.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago
[-] Zip2@feddit.uk 5 points 3 months ago

They don’t call me Ping Pong Balls for nothing.
