    Is it a penis, or is this just the human nature to look at something and say “haha that looks like a penis”? Because frankly, if any of y’all’s genitalia looks like that I’d recommend you consult with your physician.

    So hyped about making my first ever rock on a string, this is a really good rock, I hope no one is mean about it.

    …42,000 years later

    “That’s a penis!”

    It’s not even like the object screams ‘sexual organ’. Boston University archaeologist Curtis Runnels, who was not involved in the recent study, told Science the ornament looks “rather shapeless”, and at first glance, it’s hard to disagree.

    really wish they’d said “at first glans”
