Dammit, now I need to know if the average person has enough microplastics in them to make this possible.
I'm gonna need someone smarter than me to translate this: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.0c07384
The median steady-state MP abundances in the gut are about 300 and 500 particles/capita for children and adults, respectively, which translate to mass abundances ranging from 7.98×10−4 to 1.59×10−3 μg/capita
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
The J stands for "Just plastic"
That’s measuring in micrograms, which are millionths of grams, so it would have to be really really tiny.
I want my body dessicated, vacuum packed and turned into uniform discs that can be sold off at my funeral.
Does your family want 2 CDs?
I'm pretty sure my tall and fat ass would produce more than just 2.
Coasters? Communion wafers? Just cause?
It's a Star Trek reference. That's how Ferengi funerals work. They're auctions.
I want to have my skull plasticized like the ones at the body works museum then I want my ashes put inside
Maybe an engraving on the bottom too
Would you like your engraved bottom to be displayed next to your skull or as a separate item?
I was thinking engraved into the bottom so you have to pick it up to read it
Nah, 3d print a benchy with mine.
I want to prescan myself in 3d and then they can print a microstatue of me from my microplastics
If someone makes a Funko Pop figurine out of my remains, I'm gonna fucking kill myself.
