There's a coconut called Coco de Mer that looks like a butt, or more precisely like human female pelvis. Female trees produce the coconut and the male trees produce a flower that looks like a massive dong. You can't even make this shit up.

It only grows naturally in Seychelles πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¨ so it's the national symbol, and because of that you can see this butt silhouette on literally everything, even in the Seychelles passport. Enter the country? Butt stamp in your passport.

You can't say all that and not post pictures, so here they are.

Sorry, I was typing this on my phone while pooping.

But it would be better if you added a ! Right before your square brackets to embed the image directly.

And here's a better image of the dong:

Well, that's impressive. I'll remember that for the image embed.

Also, I kinda didn't want to add images so people would doubt my comment and go check for themselves and be shocked twice. It just sounds so made up...

I feel like I need to go to Seychelles and have a coconut now. The butt stamp would look great in a passport.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can have a coconut in Seychelles, but if by "have" you mean "eat", then it likely won't be Coco de Mer. They are rarely consumed, probably because they are, like, $300-500 a piece (last time I checked). If you mean to poses one, then good news, you get an official certificate with each one, else you can't take it out of the country.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Holy crap, $300 for the lols is a bit much.

[–] Foreigner@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

They're also nicknamed "coco-fesses" so "coconut butts" in English. Another fun fact: It's the largest seed in the world.

I actually think I could have made that up

How do I @ a whole instance? Hexbear needs to know

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 20 points 2 months ago

I am sure my favourite little goblins know all about it.

Concerning lack of poop on balls

Thank you for bringing our attention to this matter absolute-cinema PIGPOOPBALLS

We are all just accessories to a butt. All fish are floating butts that evolved go have cool stuff around that butt.

All animals are a butt with extra stuff to make the butt butt longer and create more butts

[–] LikeableLime@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago

We're actually all mouths, butts came later. There used to just be the one hole for entrance and exit...

So someone threw his sex toy in the ocean and now scientists are going apeshit over it?

Hear me out.....

Expect more funding for deep-sea exploration soon

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

To me, when I see this and I see they called it "pigbutt" I feel like there is a real missed opportunity here.
