Screenshot of a Bluesky post of a fossilized cuttlefish that looks like a dickhead and part of a shaft. The scientist claims it was carried around by prehistoric humans 250,000 years ago and we don’t know why, but they will talk about why in an episode of the podcast The Fossil Files
Haven’t noticed anyone say anything about this yet but cuttlefish bones are flat thin discs. They sell them in pet stores as a calcium supplement.
Not a comfortable phallus if used in that way.
Cuttlefish is not really the best term for it. It’s actually a nautiloid that has a straight cone shaped shell. When living the fleshy part would have looked similar to a cuttlefish. The fossil is very fragmented too.
Future anthropologists would consider Pornhub a fertility ritual.
Or an anti-fertility ritual
This gif always makes me giggle like an idiot.
They used it as a pestle.
To make aphrodisiacs.
A penistle, if you will.
Afrodickziaks, and yes, I will.

Fertility rituals. All very ritualistic.
Seven centimeters?
That’s almost three inches which is completely unrealistic expectations.
You’ve got me wondering why American men haven’t switched to metric units yet. 7 is clearly more impressive than 3.
I use metric for 3D modeling and 3D printing. It’s a much better system than Imperial.
The USA actually did try to switch once, but as with everything we do, it was a half-assed attempt that didn’t stick.
Just like everything good in the US, Republicans killed it.
What’s a half-ass in metric?
5 deci-asses 🤣
It varies based on what population it represents. For Americans that works out to a metric fuckton
And thus probably had the opposite effect 😩
They’ll have drugs and penises in metric.
(And guns, but they have those everywhere, so it doesn’t count.)Yeah, the problem isn’t getting Americans to use metric. It’s getting them to stop using everything else.
For some reason, English derived cultures have this incredibly conservative streak. Like the language lugs around letters that no one has pronounced in centuries. Maybe it comes from stare decisis. You start doing this differently, and it’s all Mad Max from there.
And also soda but only above handheld size containers
That’s the one that gets me the most, man. People will literally go and say “the sixteen-point-nine-ounce bottle” instead of just saying “500 mil bottle” and it blows my mind. It’s so much less awkward to say. I’ve even heard people ask for the 33-point-eight ounce bottle at the gas station I work at. It’s a fucking liter. Just say the 1 liter bottle!
I know it’s a completely lost cause at this point, but I genuinely wish we’d switch:(
I’ve never heard that one.
1 liter, 2 liter. Always. But anything smaller in imperial. Very odd tbh
Historians be like: it was venerated as a symbol of luck and fertility
“I only keep it for sentimental reasons. It belonged to me mum.”
It helps her reach God, every time she has it she praises his name, but it also helps her resist sin, she’s always screaming: “no, no, no”
If you stick something like this up your butt it aint coming out until you have an awful bowel movement.
Perhaps it was discovered in a midden? Your hypothesis would explain why it’s broken along the uh, shaft. Guess we’ll have to tune in to find out!
He said it was a fragment of a fossil cuttlefish so I was assuming there was more to this that was um… being used
See also perfectly smooth rock labeled “ancient stone tool.”
Length challenge guy are all rejoicing at this post 😅
