Will microplastics in our testicles be an issue?

makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 170 points –

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?

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.
