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
So is RoundUp according to an article I read a few days ago.
They say every, but no one's checked mine yet.
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.
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!
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?
Every tested testi. Testis of non-testee testi'd are not tested.
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?
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.
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.
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?
Big oil has literally attacked our nuts.
Big oil literally attacking ~~our~~ deez nuts.
~~Goteeem~~ Gotusss
This is true. I had mine tested, and there was one of my testicles that had way more microplastics than the other two.
So should i recycle my sperm instead of flushing it?
You can probably use it in a 3d printer
Print my own baby. Life starts at boot up!
So can we call them plasticles now?
These were the testicles, here are the resulticles.
Between the microplastics, the pfoas and other fluorine based stuff from 3M, and the lead in fuel that airplanes are still allowed to use, and the lack of a more natural diet, it's no wonder we're all so screwed up.
We really have sacrificed our species atop the fire of industry.
If you can't spread your sperm, spread awareness about microplastics.
Balls of plastic. Descended from balls of steel 💪
They just don’t make em like they used to
Yeah suck out all of my microplastics stepsister 😏
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.
Yeah same, but I worry about all the other affects like cancers, other mutations, some third horrible thing...
I'm gay and I don't want to have kids. This world is horrific.
Microplastics, son! 💪
What I love about this is the canceling out of the unholy intersection of ideas in the Republican Party of forced birth and environmental deregulation.
All the evil billionaires need a plethora of desperate people so the veil of the Christian sanctity of life thing gets trotted out and behind the scenes they want maximum profit so they tear down any limit or mitigation of the collateral damage their industries cause, and wouldn’t you know it: turns out you can’t have both things. Poetic justice, really. Almost a valid argument for the existence of an Illuvitar like being.
Oh yeah? Well, study thi...oh...
Jokes on you, I don't have testicles.
