I was hoping it would be real even if it didn't seem so. And I was quite excited that there was a source in the comments, only to find out it was The Onion...

Not sure if I'm being complimented.

I went looking for the source of the image to find out more. Disappointed to discover it was fake even though I suspected it was.

It's a Lemmy award.

I can understand your confusion. I meant it as a thank you. Thank you for finding the source.

A silver lemmy buttplug, the peggiest award a fellow lemming can award to a worthy shitposter!

Judging by the lack of flared base, the recipient will not be having a good time.

I remember reading a few years ago some anthropologists suggested most cave painting were not done by adults but teens because the content of the drawings. They glorify things they aren't involved in yet. The big hunt, the hottie cave chick, etc.

Looking at those three drawings, I think that solidifies it's teens.
