    Luckily my testicles weren’t studied, so I must be safe. Right?

      If you don’t look, you won’t see it, it’s not there. Right?

    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

          Oh God… Were the samples… the testes? Were they just thrown out like old leftovers?
