    So are avocados. The creature that was supposed to eat avocados whole is long gone.

        You’re eating them whole? Impressive.

            Passing an avocado seed seems rough but doable. I don’t know though, and I wouldn’t want to find out the hard way.

              Have you seen the size of the average butt plug? If the seed stays smooth and slimy in transit (debatable), I don’t think it would be too difficult to pass. I’d be most worried about getting it through some of the kinks in the intestine.

                Yeah that’s part of what I don’t know about. Or other transition points, like exiting the stomach. Not to mention actually swallowing it.

                I’ve never thought to compare the sizes of those particular two objects… but now I’m sure there is someone out there considering some very kinky and unsanitary actions.

                  How do you add a flared base to an avocado seed? Asking for a friend.

If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
