I said it in the thread from a few days ago: he's going to hollow out the baculum to snort drugs with.

Why does it say "Reading mode"?

To get you ready to read the article.

don't tell me what to do! I'm gonna make my computer's awful text to speech read it to me!

These are our elected and nominated officials. You cannot make this shit up.

The best part about this is that even after the whale head and other similar stories, he still doesn't stop to think, "hey, maybe I shouldn't share that story." He doesn't understand the problem, clearly, but he also doesn't even grasp that there is a problem with these stories.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

maybe, just maybe, he's shared all these godsawful stories and ended up a leading politician somehow. maybe for him there isn't a problem because he keeps being enabled and that is what the problem truly is.

What a terrible day to know how to read

What a terrible day to be litterate

FTFY

Literate, possibly

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m so fucking sick of these people. Just go crawl in a hole and die somewhere, why poison this earth and all our minds with your relentless, nonstop low IQ horseshit? Imagine waking up in the morning and having to be any one of these stupid fucks.

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I really don't mean to defend this dude, so don't take this as that. Those Os penises (animal penis bones, baculum) are very collectable. I wouldn't want to be the person collecting and cleaning them, but this is extremely common to see people harvest baculum.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

is extremely common to see people harvest baculum.

Extremely may be an exaggeration...

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's fair. I guess maybe extremely common compared to the harvesting of penises that don't have a baculum?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 points 14 hours ago
[–] LuckyDevil@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Interesting. Do you know why people collect them? Is it like a rabbits foot? Are there lucky raccoon penises out there?

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

you know, i respect homebrew but i really want to make sure there's no raccoon dick in my whiskey.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

The same history channel that paid a guy to say that aliens built the pyramids?

Right, credible source.

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

100%, this the right way to treat a history channel reference. Fact checking is a requirement and trust should be withheld by default.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that's how I got my first racoon baculum. Fox too.

There's even a fairly brisk if low cost trade in them, and is generally going to come from either winter deaths after spring thaws, or road kill.

[–] muxika@piefed.muxika.org 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

But Kennedy’s involvement with road kill did not stop with the bear.

Hold the fucking phone. This is not a subject to "yes-and" into.

To think that the Kennedy line ends like this is so damn sad.

He also drove a woman to suicide

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 16 hours ago

But that's not relevant to whether or not the Kennedy family ends with him.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

and they testified before congress about a whale head.

in ten years barron trump is going to be unironically telling a house panel about growing up terrified of mooses and squirrels

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 20 hours ago

I'm sure they do this just to distract.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 day ago

Very cool and normal.

I think he would really be seen as a sociopath if this was "RFK Jr. Recalls the Time He Was Trying to 'Cut the Penis Out of Donald Trump' - Reading mode.

I don't know, but OP has it in the topic of this thread.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

He is such a weird and creepy guy. Even back ~~veggie these stores~~ when these stories came to light he had a weird vibe to him.

I cannot fathom how anyone could think "yeah, this guy would be an excellent President!"

Edit: curse you uncaught autocorrect mistakes!

I'm glad you didn't proofread this comment veggie you posted it, because it made me laugh.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Holy shit, I swear autocorrect is at war with me! And I am clearly losing, lol.

Glad my mistakes gave you a chuckle. :)
