Yes, male sperm whales possess testes, which are the equivalent of “balls” in other mammals. However, unlike most terrestrial mammals, their testes are internal, located within the abdominal cavity rather than in an external scrotum.

Size: Sperm whale testes are remarkably large, particularly in mature males. A single testis can weigh up to 500 kilograms (over 1,100 pounds), making them among the largest testes in the animal kingdom, both in absolute size and relative to body mass. This enormous size is thought to be an adaptation related to sperm competition, where larger sperm reserves can increase reproductive success.

I looked up what constitutes a unit of microplastics and the definition I found in this article was “any synthetic solid particle or polymeric matrix, with regular or irregular shape and with size ranging from 1 μm to 5 mm, of either primary or secondary manufacturing origin, which are insoluble in water”.

Because “microplastics” is a broad term that covers particles of varying size, structure, and weight, researchers refer to them in terms of number of particles per unit or total mass of microplastics per sample.

Giving any kind of gift from the heart is a nice gesture. That being said, I always preferred giving cash to gifts cards since it doesn’t restrict the recipient to one store.

Although if you know their specific interests, gift cards are a good way to encourage someone to get themselves a treat they wanted but otherwise wouldn’t have splurged on, or a good gift for those who want to shop online without having to enter payment information.

With cash, there’s the pressure to spend it on essential things like groceries, rent, transportation…if my friends and family need any of those things, I would gladly help them pay for it without obligation, but it’s not what I would choose as a gift for special occasions. Not talking about generic gift cards, but I might give them a coupon for a salon I know they frequent, or a craft or music supply store where they go for equipment.

Hah, it does seem like some people use their chats as drafts for their thoughts.

One concise message per issue is best. Separate messages are ok when starting a new topic.
