Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Now I understand why there is a claw on its crotch. It's not a claw.

Frankly, I am quite disappointed at what I was expecting to be a much more prominent phalus

I'd start a petition to have the penis drawn bigger.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Drawn dick and balls were a good luck sign in ancient days.

And in modern toilets

As a symbol of progress

It should come as no surprise to anyone that the U.S. city of New Bern has removed the penis from its coat of arms.

Somehow the bear's eyerolling expression of despair looks more pronounced now.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 20 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

So progressive of New Bern, a transgender bear as a mascot.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Oh man - if I start spreading this around town it could be a good way to get them to put the penis back on.

Who is to say the original isn't a futanari?

Haz no tiddies

Boo to this new bern and their bear penis denial! Where the fuck is New Bern though? Got to be connecticut or some shit am I right?

[–] Dultas@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

North Carolina. Was the capitol once. Where Pepsi was invented.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, they kept the coat of arms this entire time?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Well, technically they fixed it

"Fix" is a euphemism for "neuter."

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago

Fucking fascistss

[–] Ibisalt@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

fun fact: the doblerone logo contains a hidden bear in reference to the city of bern

[–] rosco385@lemmy.wtf 1 points 28 minutes ago

Does the hidden bear still have it's penis?

[–] Coyote@piefed.ca 22 points 8 hours ago

Toblerone has also hidden much of the chocolate that used to come in the bars. 

Never noticed it until you pointed it out ...

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 23 points 10 hours ago

It's good to see Switzerland upholding the right to bear penis.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 6 hours ago

Did some prude have a hard on in removing it? Not going soft on the bear penis issue, the population erected a defense.

[–] Ribbons@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 10 hours ago

Let it hang, Switzerland.

[–] YaDownWitCPP@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

Good for the bear! I would hate to lose my penis.

With that shape and color, It looks like a bear claw is stuck in his penis. No wonder he's making that face.

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world -5 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

The bear looks like it was drawn by a drunk toddler using their off hand and blindfolded

[–] new_guy@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

They didn't have furry artists back then

[–] ImproperKeming@ani.social 1 points 7 hours ago

If that's true, who gave the bear an ahegao face?

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 5 points 9 hours ago

That's just how they look there

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

I'd like to see you eat a bunch of fly agaric and draw a better one.
