    Dammit, now I need to know if the average person has enough microplastics in them to make this possible.

        10^-3 ug or as they put it in the abstract:

        40.7 (90% CI, 0.8–9.85 × 103) ng/capita for adults until age 70 in the body tissue

        Is basically nothing in terms of mass.
        For a 100g figure you would need the micro plastic of Billions of people (if I’m not mistaken).

        However, I’m not sure if they factored in j balls.

          So check my math here.

          • The average Funko Pop is about 120g

          • The average testicle is about 20g

          • Per that article, the average testicle has 330 micrograms per gram of plastic, which means about 0.0066g per ball.

          • You would need 18,182 balls - or the balls of 9,091 dudes - to make a Funko Pop

        That’s measuring in micrograms, which are millionths of grams, so it would have to be really really tiny.

    If someone makes a Funko Pop figurine out of my remains, I’m gonna fucking kill myself.
