This is WEIRD, right?

I mean I know there are professions and hobbies where cutting the penis off an animal carcass is just another Tuesday. I assume there are (or have been) cultures where this sort of thing tracks. But, this isn't a normal thing for people to think about doing, let alone do, right? Or am I the weirdo and literally it's super common to play with the penis of dead animals?

Like, I'm not intentionally being ablest or anything, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

And in all fairness, I haven't read the private journals to know the details of this "absurd scenario" and given the subject matter, I don't think it's anything I'd want to read, the headline is more than enough to be off putting. So, there is that.

It's RFK Jr. This is just another day for him.

He took a beached whale carcass' head, threw it on top of his car, and the "juices" leaked in through the window on his kids.

He dumped a dead bear cub in central park and left a bike on top just to make it look weird, as a "prank".

He snorted cocaine off the toilet seat according to himself.

And this is the stuff he openly talks about, I'm convinced you can search "RFK Jr animal story" with damn near any animal and you'll find something.

Man this is like a 4/10 on the scale of "weird shit RFK jr. has done with a dead animal"

Study with his mouth, more likely.

He is going to hollow out the baculum and use it to snort drugs

That man ain’t right, I tell you what.

[–] Yuccagnocchiyaki@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I promise that, because of the way he acts towards animals, he has killed and eaten people

According to the book, the journals were held by Mary as “leverage” during their divorce, which had not been finalized at the time of her death at age 52. She died by suicide on May 16, 2012,

After crushing up the penis bone into a fine powder and snorting it, Bobby discovered that no, raccoon penis bone powder does not put you into a psychedelic state. It does give you brain worms though.

Uh - tbh, having a cleaned raccoon baculum would be pretty fire.

I don’t think this is that odd, barring the fact that it’s RFK Jr. I taught high school science, and I was routinely brought animal corpses by everyone from students to other teachers. I didn’t even teach biology.

Um, if the sin is amputating deceased animal dicks, well then... Whips rock at RFK

[–] FE80@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

This guy is so fuckin weird.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

That's a funny way of spelling "to eat so he'd become more virile".

[–] eyes@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

And they say he doesn't support research programs.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Lobotomy + Brain Worm = RFK #2

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Guys, guys! It's OK, it was a dead raccoon. He didn't give a live raccoon the ol peckerectomy. /s

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Everything I hear about this guy sounds like the aberrant behavior of a brain damaged individual who has succumbed to their own delusion.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 6 points 2 months ago

you know who else I've seen do shit like that? junkies. wouldn't surprise me of RFK Jr has a plastic bag full of discarded coffee cups also.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Honestly can he just become a taxidermist at this point? Better job fit

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know he was still invited on family vacations.

There needs to be a mandatory psychological assessment of all public official's.

Don't worry United States you elected someone almost as intelligent as he is for president.

Course don't get me wrong, take a known biologist (apologize I don't know any specific ones) I'm sure many took specimens to be studied for later. Unfortunately this person has shown he's a complete idiot.

Does it really matter in this administration when they just tear everything down? Shit the mic is live.... seriously US get your house in order you got someone who's claimed to have brain worms helping diamantle your health department. Like only worse thing would be whatever the president is doing at 3am....shit posting to his owned social media.

It's amusing how quickly you can fall from world superiority to dumpster from a lack of critical thinking. No way can they afford shit soon with the recent spending. Either educate people to be a decent army or afford the weapons but not both with their budget. They don't have China's numbers and less educated than any European army. Soon they won't have money cause people aren't producing enough taxes. Congrats US.
