Mannequins are actually time travelers from the distant human future where we’re all waifish plastic twinks.
I’m thinking of those mannequins from Pacific Drive but flamboyant.
Only 5-6 people? Why the fuck are they even publishing it in a journal? That’s how you get pseudo-scientific bullshit: by publishing thing too soon.
I do think that a rational society would locate a problem like this and invest in solving it, rather than have a handful of scientists drip feed terrifying new theories and discoveries to a sensationalist media intent on scaring the shit out of people. But maybe it’s the only way they can attract funding for more study, I don’t know. I don’t think it’s really useful for people to be hearing about all these crazy environmental poisons - forever chemicals, microplastics, and so on - that are basically impossible to avoid and which no-one yet understands the implications of.
I mean I think there’s info coming out about microplastics contributing to heart attacks and strokes by forming clots in the circulatory system, so if we got plastics in our blood and balls it’s not too far of a stretch to say we got plastics in our dangle dongles too
Yes I know, I just think I would be a lot happier not knowing. I mean everyone is already riddled with anxiety. At least with politics we can study and understand and exert some agency however small. What can we do about the fact people are pumping our bodies full of plastic for profit? And then when they repeatedly put these articles in the press before they’ve discovered the implications (I mean maybe microplastics cause ED but they’re really just spitballing here) it doesn’t seem to have much social utility
Ignorance is bliss, knowledge is power. Use that power to tell the people capitalism is destroying humanity and that the cure is socialism.
Because the samples were obtained from people who were undergoing surgeries related to erectile disfunction. So that limits the amount of samples you can get. It’s still very much important to publish that information, even if your sample size is small.
Because money.
My personal theory is because it’s really funny.
How can pee be stored in the balls when it’s supposedly full of plastic?
It’s the new evolutionary trait being tested in beta right now where balls are being used to generate and store oil instead of just pee. It just takes a while for the plastic to decompose and liquidate.
Genetically engineered balls that turn plastic back into crude oil
United States is gonna invade my balls if I don’t hurry up with that surgery…

Is that a dildo in my pants or just big plastic?

The contaminants have also recently been found in testes and semen, amid concerns about falling male fertility
Female fertility stay winning, unimpeded by microplastics
Oh boy do I have bad news for you
>discovering that female testicles are not simply immune to microplastics, rather the article just failed to mention them
