I always thought "D.C." meant "District of Columbia." TIL from the combination of your username and post that it means "Dildo, Canada."

Kind of a weird name for the capital of an entirely different country.

I am kind of disappointing this is actually from 2023 though! It needs to cum again.

My first thought was ".... Again? They need some better contraceptives" but no, it's the same one... A shame, that would open the door for so many jokes.

Even mother nature looked at our present timeline and said "Yeah...fuck it....let's see how crazy shit can get."

I thought my hand gesture was a chef's kiss for such a confluence of events. Not sure what you're on about.

Now THIS is what I want to see from this community

[–] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The universe heard that guy complaining yesterday and said “hold my beer”

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 points 14 hours ago

Tbf this is an old article. But still funny.

[–] FoolishAchilles@lemm.ee 13 points 17 hours ago

Finally an article that made me believe I was reading the onion

[–] xeekei@lemm.ee 8 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

What kinda coincidence is this? I feel like someone must've sculpted it.

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 12 hours ago

My family is from nearby. Unironically hundreds of icebergs a year pass that area. It was honestly a matter of time.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 4 points 15 hours ago

I feel the same way. I know exactly nothing about ice sculpting, and after typing this I guess I try google... what did the article call it? Sobmething that made me think chunks of glacier is otherwise normal near the coast of Dildo.

But that just seems like an extremely well place dick joke. That someone or multiple people risked their lives to pull on. Off.

"Hey, it's cold out here!"

That said, I'm somewhat in awe of your standards given its thirty foot tall height.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 9 points 17 hours ago

Someone had an interesting "on this day"

Damn good find.
Jolly damn good find.

You think that's big, you should see the size of it under the water.

[–] FlightyPenguin@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Also, this is what it looks like when it's cold.

Alas, the iceberg lacked staying power: Pretty photographed the 30-foot (9.1 meter) phallic structure on Thursday, April 27. It collapsed the next day.

Hate it when that happens.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

If your iceberg lasts more than 3 days, consult a physician

Okay... 2023? How did I miss this? That can't be real. Is it real? Maybe this really is all a simulation. But, like, it's just a game of Sims, and the player started getting bored... It sure would explain a lot.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 18 hours ago

At least we know whoever designed the simulation appreciates phallic humor.

I'm glad they posted it, cause I've never seen it before

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

So? I found it today and the time doesn't make it less funny.
