A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
As we well know all women and men in history that lived together with someone of the same gender were just friends. There are many historical records in which esteemed historians depicted the factual truth of deep friendships. Luckily for the rest of us, those noble seers always knew all context required and bore no prejudices towards anything whatsoever. That is a model cucumber. It even tastes like one.
The Egyptlogists might have some additional context and knowledge that some rando on Twitter might now.
But did cucumbers look like that 4000 years ago?
sure, but experts have been making bad assumptions before.
Like archaeologists up until relatively recently have been calling viking graves with swords in male, without really looking at the actual skeleton.
that said, yeah, I still definitely trust the experts more
I'm thinking they found other fruit/veggie/food models with the dildo.
And there is some green coloration on it, indicating the dildo was once painted to look like a cucumber. Derek Smalls gets it.

Yeah, I'm also guessing the Tweeter is just a masterbator, not a real doctorbator with a PhD in D.
My wife's been reading this book that references this. As well so many other cases of men assuming genders or disregarding women in science, among other things. It's crazy. "hmm that skeleton has wide hips, but it is also buried with a sword, so it's a man". Female physiology traits in a man is way more plausible, than a woman being buried with a sword ... wtf?!?
Anyway, the book is next on my reading list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_Women:_Exposing_Data_Bias_in_a_World_Designed_for_Men
Shouldn't have just assumed but in that case it was the correct assumption vast majority of the time. Still bad to assume.
And out of Viking graves with swords, how many of them have turned out to be women?
It was probably used for religious purposes of some sort
indeed. coming closer to believed gods is important to some in any society. its just a clear in and out conclusion.
Usage was frequently accompanied by callings to a deity from a trance like state.
A very popular ritual that has survived for millennia
Remember that the idiots in the 19th & 20th centuries uncovering all kinds of Egyptian stuff purposefully damaged inscriptions and art because they prominently showed gasp penises!

No you see they know it's a cucumber because ancient Egyptian dildos had a compartment for bees so that users could experience a vibration effect.
This is the economy model. Made for the common folk, not Cleopatra. (That is just an urban legend btw.)
I was not aware of this urban legend, but I will repeat it anyways because it's funny.
