I thought my hand gesture was a chef's kiss for such a confluence of events. Not sure what you're on about.

Wtf. This is hilarious. Why are men so insecure?

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

I'm not insecure! YOU'RE INSECURE!

that radical feminist groups have propagated these hidden messages to humiliate men with small penises

Why would radical feminists target men with small penises? They’re probably already naturally humiliated, right? It’s the big dick men who need to be taken down a notch.

My first thought was ".... Again? They need some better contraceptives" but no, it's the same one... A shame, that would open the door for so many jokes.

Even mother nature looked at our present timeline and said "Yeah...fuck it....let's see how crazy shit can get."

You think that's big, you should see the size of it under the water.

[–] FlightyPenguin@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Also, this is what it looks like when it's cold.

I am kind of disappointing this is actually from 2023 though! It needs to cum again.

Okay... 2023? How did I miss this? That can't be real. Is it real? Maybe this really is all a simulation. But, like, it's just a game of Sims, and the player started getting bored... It sure would explain a lot.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 9 points 1 month ago

At least we know whoever designed the simulation appreciates phallic humor.

Finally an article that made me believe I was reading the onion

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I mean, who names a bay in Dildo county Conception Bay (or vice versa)? The iceberg is just the tip!

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

THE PROPHECY!

[–] Outsider9042@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 1 month ago

Fake news! The entire iceberg does not look like a dick.

It’s just the tip.

This happened two years ago…

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And it still hasn't melted? Checkmate, environmental lobby

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Alas, the iceberg lacked staying power: Pretty photographed the 30-foot (9.1 meter) phallic structure on Thursday, April 27. It collapsed the next day.

I always thought "D.C." meant "District of Columbia." TIL from the combination of your username and post that it means "Dildo, Canada."

Kind of a weird name for the capital of an entirely different country.

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

We're gonna need a bigger M&M's tube....

[–] cod@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Most of my family is from very near there. I remember when this happened, it was quite the event

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's old, but... I'll allow it.

Also...

Dingdong. Willy. Johnson. One-eyed sailor. Trouser snake.

Now it's your turn.
