microplastics are stored in the balls

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

That’s why there are two.

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Willy 1 points 6 months ago

You wanted them?

MFW humans aren't even biodegradable any more.

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

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 what if you think of something super clever you don’t wanna write in a notebook?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

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

To carry on

They'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone, believe me

Your testicles will carry on

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Is that why they're getting bigger??

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

When I die, throw me in the recycle.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

But you can’t recycle plastic…

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Can't even eat balls anymore, smh.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

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

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