The original, unmodified text, for those who care:

The horngus of a dongfish, which is attached by a scungle to a kind of dillsack (the nutte sac).^[420]^

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 92 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

This is also fake. Those are all incorrect.

The current Wikipedia entry doesn't even have the same picture (text checks out though).

Please don't take this from me.

Be better about recognizing obviously fake shit.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Be better at having a sense of humor, chum.

We just haven't found the real one yet.

It's prophetic

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

This is a joke

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

Really not that much different, to be honest

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 weeks ago

Horngus of a Dongfish is something different. What is the abomination in the picture?

[–] gueybana@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

This cannot be real

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 weeks ago

And that's how you make a plumbus!

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds exactly like the names I would come up with breathing 20% nitrous oxide for a few hours…

Oh yeah this is a classic

You left your SI in the link

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well, now Google will know who I am. Drats.

Everyone has a plumbus in their home. First they take the dingle bop and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then...repurposed for later batches. They take the dingle bop and they push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all the fleeb juice. Then, a schlami shows up, and he rubs it...and spits on it. They cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way. The blamfs rub against the chumbles, and the...plubis, and grumbo are shaved away. That leaves you with...a regular old plumbus.

Nature, uh, finds it's ways.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago

Inspiring, so many new insults to try out
