Oh lawd he comin’

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

[–] VubDapple@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 8 points 1 week ago

Maybe whales looked different back then.

[–] MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago
