They're just kinda cool! It's a Marge Simpson thing. You find them at oddity and reptile shows used as part of crafts all the time.
I saw this watching moonshiners on the history channel, so take it with a grain of salt, but the moonshiners were obsessed with them. Since they bend down at the end, you stick the bone into the spigot where the liquid comes out of the worm bucket (where the alcohol vapor condenses into liquid). It directs the flow into a jar. You can also use a stick, but these dudes were always just carrying raccoon dick bones that I'm sure they harvested themselves.
you know, i respect homebrew but i really want to make sure there's no raccoon dick in my whiskey.
The same history channel that paid a guy to say that aliens built the pyramids?
Right, credible source.
100%, this the right way to treat a history channel reference. Fact checking is a requirement and trust should be withheld by default.
Thanks to MAGA, I have now officially heard EVERYTHING, and I'm not one bit happy about it.
That's enough Lemmy for tonight. Time for bed
