"adult toy smiling whale"

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Yeah, suspiciously large fin.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Oh lawd he comin’

[-] [email protected] 66 points 11 months ago

You can’t convince me that that’s not an Orca.

Orcas have always been friends to humans that do not own yachts.

Indeed, according to anthropologist Robert L. Hoover, “the killer whale [orca] was regarded by the Chumash as a benevolent creature which drove schools of porpoises and whales ashore where they could be utilized by man.”

No wonder they called killer whales. They trying to end the entire planet.

"Saruman the White has ever been our friend and ally" Get away from that computer, killer whale!

But ye, fuck yachts

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

the allies of the Chumash are slow to action but their loyalty and their memory is unquestionable

Hmm, "1200-600 CE"?

Looks like it should be 1200-1600 CE (or AD).

Oh no, nobody tell Nintendo about this. They'll be sharpening their copyrights and salivating over patents.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago

I can't believe that took 600 years to carve

He looks like he belongs in Dragon Quest

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Looks like a Pokemon

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

It looks like a fun chair.

Guess Nintendo's going to have to sue Akira Toriyama's estate, then.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago

It's funny how only the sex toys have survived this long

[-] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

It's beautiful but the neat part is he's smiling

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

If it squeaks when you squeeze it i’mma freak out

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Careful with the drugs.

Archaeologists be like: "It was likely used for ritualistic purposes"

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Maybe whales looked different back then.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

That whale has seen some things

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Vaginas, probably
