    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.

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

        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.

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

      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.
