Good meme, but we really ought to end small-penis hatred.

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 144 points 3 months ago (5 children)

It's not the small penis we hate, it's the loud car.

[–] pinkystew@reddthat.com 36 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My most satisfying sexual experience was with a small dude

I begged him for a second date. I think he was self-conscious about it. Dude was marriage material

[–] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

I m a small dude thx to give me confidence

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yes, but we use the small penis as an insult, which is not fair.

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand nudity options in games. You got average and above average. Few people gonna go with average then.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Those are noobs though, just git good and save the world with a small dick.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Is it fair if I'm a sissy?

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I hate a lot of things.
Guess i should start body shaming because of that?

No. Only insecure losers bodyshame.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It's like with the "do you punch a Nazi?", even pacifists have limits.

Then again, I think for me it's ok to hit people where it hurts when you want to hurt them--- and penis size is the "alpha males" easy and effective target just like crowd size is a certain assholes weakness.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Not even remotely comparable. When you punch a Nazi you are only hurting a Nazi.
When you body shame you hurt every single person who has that characteristic.

If everyone started shitting on characteristics you possess you probably wouldn't like it either.
Have some fucking empathy.

Testicle size and reproductive potency are entirely unrelated to penis size, for all the men out there. And if you only ever have one partner at a time that you want to make babies with, you don’t really need to be a super stud in the testicle department. You just need regular sexual contact with your lady half.

But this shows that even if you do want all the ladies, large testicles don’t matter.

(Aside; people with breeder fetishes who impregnate multiple women are fucking gross and weird. Musk is one such and just.. eew.)

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

It's not about the actual size, it's more like a mindset

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not the size that counts, it's how you use it.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

It’s the compatibility with a partner imo, the match is everything - the technical details are mostly irrelevant once events take place

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

this (the study) is about the crystal balls, not the magic wand.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In primates small testicle size is correlated with how many males a female typically mates with. More males mating with the same female means the male that produces the most sperm has an advantage. So gorillas have tiny balls because every troop only has one silverback male, and chimps have horrifically huge nuts because there’s a lot of competition for mates from other males in the troop.

Interestingly, humans fall roughly in the middle of the scale in terms of ball size!

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yet the head of a human penis is shaped for removing competing semen from a woman's vagina

You don't wanna know what your ancestors got up to

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't even wanna know what my grandma got up to

Kinky by nature.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

it's obviously shaped like that for camouflage in autumnal forests

General rule amongst those groups: "If you can't be good, be loud."

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 months ago

As someone with a loud car, I can confirm

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 months ago

Those three monkes look like they're singing For the Longest Time

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It must be a rule on the internet:

There's always a relevant xkcd.

[–] mynameisigglepiggle@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I have been told all through my life I have a voice that carries

😬

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm conflicted because I love cars and how they work (including EVs!!!) but also don't entirely love how loud they can be.

I got a GR Corolla which has a little tiny 3 cylinder engine, but it's so loud on cold starts. Luckily I live in the woods, because I would feel so bad cold starting it in a neighborhood.

I'm conflicted because I love my car, but can also appreciate how cars just don't have to be so loud that they give you temporary deafness as they drive by. Unfortunately with internal combustion, louder generally equals better flow in the exhaust which equals more power.

[–] Car@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

Enjoy it! You could be driving another fun car with a completely boring sounding engine (cough FL5 cough) with almost no good sounding exhausts that aren’t just noise.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Don't be ashamed. Embrace the beautiful roar of your mighty little three-cylinder nugget. Let The raucous tones flow through your veins and release that sweet sweet dopamine when you jam the throttle pedal to the floor.

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 6 points 3 months ago

Peter Dutton represent…

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I can literally hear these monkeys singing.

[–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 5 points 3 months ago

Gives new meaning to 'speak softly and carry a big stick'.

[–] NightShot@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago
[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Boy, maga cultists sure are loud AF...

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I can't handle stupid right now.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

You picked the wrong millennium to live in.

How was the TMI calculated in this study?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

compensate much?

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

This makes me sad. I installed a loud as fuck exhaust on my car, but it broke sound limits at the track so I had to get a quieter setup. Mostly I’m sad because of my tiny penis tho.
