If they looked all colorful like confetti when it came out like in the pic I might be ok with it lol
I’d prefer it to be not quite as spiky though.
I want the optional rainbow cum output too. Tired of Factory White
Wait, that’s not how gay men jizz?
That’s… disappointing.
Its all in the way we wrap it, all in the way we wrap it
If you can’t spread your sperm, spread awareness about microplastics.
Oh yeah? Well, study thi…oh…
So the pee isn’t stored in the balls, but the microplastics are
There’s microplastics in your urine too.
Wait so microplastics in one ball, pee in the other?
Sometimes they switch places to keep you guessing
The micro pees are in the micro P’s
So is RoundUp according to an article I read a few days ago.
PVC is stored in the balls.
Wait. Both left and right?
Even the center one?
They say every, but no one’s checked mine yet.
As far as you know.
Every tested testi. Testis of non-testee testi’d are not tested.
They said “every testicle in study.”
Yours were not in the study.
Can you prove it?
yes.
Fine. Please urinate into a coffee mug. Someone will be by soon to collect the sample…
Pee is stored in the balls.
You are a heavy sleeper.
Is it too much to ask for them to wait until I’m awake until they play with my balls?
Prude
I just don’t see what I get out of it. Other than microplastics in my balls.
How do you think they get the microplastics in your balls in the first place? Can’t have you knowing.
If I knew, I might have let them put some extra in for good luck!
microplastics are their own reward
Not even in the Mayo clinic?
They stayed above the waist.
Fair enough, how are you doing now? Any word out from them yet?
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.
For what it’s worth, I hope they find something to get you well again.
Thanks, me too!
Ah man, sorry to hear you are in the midst of a health issue Flying Squid! Wishing you a full recovery. Lemmy wouldn’t be the same without you!
Thank you!
They’re calling but Dr. Ham on 3 so hold the Mayo
Big oil has literally attacked our nuts.
Big oil literally attacking
ourdeez nuts.GoteeemGotusss
Are they all speckled & colorful like in that thumbnail stock photo?
The stock photo is of plastic pieces that are too big to be considered microplastics
The microplastics are probably mostly colorless/white
Aww, was kinda hoping that at least there’d be a party in my balls.
Rub a lil icy hot on em
If your idea of a good time involves masochistic discomfort, ok
This is just joshin’ around, pal
Just sound in some glitter
Excellent idea, my fellow intellectual! furiously destroys my own urethra with a rusty deck screw caked with shiny plastic shards
Y’know nobody forced you to write this.
My brain did.
Where’s a good place to buy organic testicles then?
I heard the rocky mountains are good at least once you get past all the oysters
Thanks! I’ll have to see if there’s a distributor in my area.
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.
I’m gay and I don’t want to have kids. This world is horrific.
I wish I had your self-confidence! It would maybe help me get laid 😵
Yeah same, but I worry about all the other affects like cancers, other mutations, some third horrible thing…
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.
It’s an issue if it accelerates the removal of abortion rights. Old crotchety white men afraid they’ll stop having heirs
They will die and things will go back to normal.
So can we call them plasticles now?
When they’re made of plastic, they’re called nuticles.
These were the testicles, here are the resulticles.
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?
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.
Eh, humanity is overrated anyway. I’m not an extinctionist, but if we wipe ourselves out that would pretty funny and appropriate.
Honestly after watching society and social media for the last few years…just go ahead and demolish the planet to build the bypass.
Thanks for the fish.
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!!!
Sure, yo go first.
I started 3D printing all the shit for a reason!
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.
Human population should peak below 1B.
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”
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.
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.
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.
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?
Microplastics are midi-chlorian without the Force. They connect us to all that lives.
Wingus and the ping pong boys attack again
Is that how polyester girls are created?
Barbie girls man. It was right there for the taking.
They’re both OK tracks.
Polyester girl is a bit more adult oriented compared to barbie girl.
My bad I had no idea that was a song.
No worries at all :)
Unaware of the reference, your thought makes perfect sense.
Thanks for being a positive netizen!
