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.
If someone makes a Funko Pop figurine out of my remains, I'm gonna fucking kill myself.
I want to prescan myself in 3d and then they can print a microstatue of me from my microplastics
