There was a finding that all males have microplastic particles in our testes.
It became a meme.
Everybody laughed.
New meme overtakes old meme.
We forget about our plastic testes and move on.
But, is there any issues going forward, that anyone is aware of?
Not mine. Mine so big, they got their own municipal recycling program.
Those balls ain’t right.
They blew off my shins in Vietnam!
unusually enlarged testes are a sign of cancer
I got checked. They’re as smooth as ostrich eggs.
Not a problem for 50% of humans.
Unless they want to breed healthy offspring maybe? Who can say.
I think the implication is that 50% of people don’t have testicles.
And if they want kids then they still need a partner with functioning testicles.
I think that the point being made is, that even the part of the population that does not have testicles, needs healthy testicles in order to breed and thereby can be potentially affected by them being damaged by by micro plastics, even though they dont have them
True, but what would be the issue to have microplastics ejects into you

Preliminary testes have suggested it will be an issue, but we need another few rounds of testes to be sure.
Please send any testes you have laying around to PO box 609 for testing.
For science!
So this is where all those plastic babies in King Cakes are coming from…
I finally got a good paying job, by wife is starting to move up at her’s and we could finally afford to have kids (with support from our families) Then plastic balls memes start
Gotta ask how long were they there before anyone noticed
I think micro plastics in our anything will probably be an issue
How about in our emigdola? So anyway did you say something? What was the question ❓
Nah, it’s mostly anti plastic propaganda. However, being fat and sedentary, now that is a real problem.
Anti plastic propaganda is a hilarious sentiment. I’m sure it exists, but we aren’t meant to have plastic in our testicles.
Being fat and sedentary is also a problem, but two (or more) problems can exist and all require attention.
Think of the profits corporations will be able to make curing the impacts of this!
Probably fertility. It’s almost certain that the decreased average sperm count is related to microplastics. It’s less clear if it’s related to our elevated rate of prostate cancer, but I’m cool with blaming big oil for that, too.
Or the lack of exercise. Or the lack of zinc. Or the obesity epidemic.

But I like Big Slop…
Plastic babies with poseable figures; you’ll be able to get them into any cool action pose for selfies!
Soon we will all be plastic. Its already in our food and water.
What i really think about is these are only the effects so far from the plastics that have started to break down from when plastics were created (smaller quantities). What happens when the plastics of today start to break down (larger quantities).
Kind of like the effects of oil (air pollution) being felt 30-50 years down the line.
I’m 30 live in Northern Australia, I have a sperm count of 93million and fantastic mobility.
It hasn’t affected me, but I’m sure it will effect others.
I’m 29 in CA and just found out I am unable to have children. I hope my wife doesn’t leave me over this. She really really wants kids of her own.
That sounds rough. Hopefully you can work it out.
But just to err on the side of caution, I wouldn’t let her know about that Australian guy,
This is the level of sympathy I have come to expect from the Internet.
that must be heartbreaking for you, im so sorry. i hope you two are able to work it out.
It’s irreversible at this point and nothing you can do except hope it won’t affect your health.
It’s only fair that it’s happening to humans since we are destroying the planet.
it’s gonna keep looping through the foodchain until some microbe finally figures out an easy way to break them down… fun stuff.
It’s also happening to practically every other animal, and some of them were more sensitive to the effects before people.
