What is the wooden lemon for?

[–] LookBehindYouNowAndThen@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] oyo@lemmy.zip 12 points 4 months ago

Is there a website where I could learn more about this?

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

I can only assume, “here, you’re gonna want to bite down on this.”

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's a game where you pass the lemon to a friend without it falling

Our record at the family reunion was 25 people in 7 minutes without dropping it.

It's a decorative version of the real lemons professionals use to practice their media-face.

I do not believe that this would help with nervousness.

If You use it in the morning, You live the rest of the day with a feeling, that the worst is behind You.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 16 points 4 months ago

Or you could use a sausage and for the rest of the day the wurst is behind you.

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

If you use it in the evening, technically, the worst is still behind you

"FOR THE INTELLIGENT TREATMENT OF"

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I'm always nervous when the doctor brings out the rectal dilator case

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago

Shiver me timbers!

I guess if you were headed to prison you'd be less nervous

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 18 points 4 months ago

Are these what Hans Neiman used to cheat?

/ducks

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

"If the dilator causes pain at first, it only indicates great need of the treatment" so

If the wooden lemon is to scale, then I'm gonna need the kids version.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 6 points 4 months ago

Now you have me wondering if such a cursed item actually exists but I know better than to google what I would have to google.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Anyone else read the label for laughs?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I could but at that size, angle, and picture quality — absolutely not.

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It says the rectal dialators can help with eyesight, too.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

If that were true, I would be able to read that label.

[–] cron@feddit.org 10 points 4 months ago

Wikipedia page.

The devices were held to be "dangerous to health when used with the frequency and duration prescribed, recommended or suggested in the labeling", and the shipment was ordered to be destroyed.[4]

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 9 points 4 months ago

I feel like I could use one of these to cheat 🤔

I'm naming my next band DEFECTIVE ELIMINATION.

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 2 points 4 months ago

Self Retaining Rectal Dilutors ain’t too shabby either. A bit long but if RHCP can pull it off, so can SRRD.

[–] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 5 points 4 months ago

anything is a chess set if you're brave enough.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

The cure for nervousness, huh?

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

You had me at Dr. Young's Pile Ointment
