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

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?
