Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Shards in me nards

So, on the positive side, we'll now have extra protection for the boys?

"tiny plastic shards found in human testicles"

Yeah, it was a rough night.

For science, of course.

Honestly, I want to be told, when they don't find micro plastics somewhere.

I wonder if any of the Venus landers had plastic parts.

So like, could I find out who owns the rights to a plastic in me and then invoice them for the storage until they come and collect their goods?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

they send an intern with a spork.

The testicles?

But where will I put my pee

Your balls are evolving into plastic bottles. The solution is obvious...

"Tiny shards" probably isn't the right term to describe particles 20-200 nanometers wide, but this is probably bad nonetheless.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Wasn't scared about microplastics before this headline so it's effective.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (2 children)

maybe this will finally motivate all the idiot men in congress to do something about plastic pollution. (and maybe climate change in general.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Nah, they've had their kids, they don't care.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 7 months ago

They don't care, they already know they're impotent..

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh I thought this was going to be a recall.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

But wait, there's more! Wait until the ovary recall announcement!
