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

You're eating them whole? Impressive.

Just make sure you defecate in the woods as nature intended!

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

[–] Jayjader@jlai.lu 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 1 points 18 hours ago

Gotta use your pocketknife to whittle it.

the great sloths are who we can thank, and some of the massive holes they dug for burrowing are still around

Millennials are still here though.

It'd be a lot cooler if we weren't this shit sucks

[–] luciole@beehaw.org 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Evacuating the seed sounds fun.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

About as fun as eating an avocado whole, probably.

nature’s anal beads

Yeah I haven’t been able to afford them for a hot minute
