This makes me sad. I installed a loud as fuck exhaust on my car, but it broke sound limits at the track so I had to get a quieter setup. Mostly I’m sad because of my tiny penis tho.

I can't handle stupid right now.

You picked the wrong millennium to live in.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Is there a right millennium? The end of the first millennium had people believing that the tick-over would cause the apocalypse, with all computers everywhere immediately detonating, and the whole economy rendered valueless dust.

Is this about PP pierre poilievre? The Canadian analog of doneOLD trump.

I'm conflicted because I love cars and how they work (including EVs!!!) but also don't entirely love how loud they can be.

I got a GR Corolla which has a little tiny 3 cylinder engine, but it's so loud on cold starts. Luckily I live in the woods, because I would feel so bad cold starting it in a neighborhood.

I'm conflicted because I love my car, but can also appreciate how cars just don't have to be so loud that they give you temporary deafness as they drive by. Unfortunately with internal combustion, louder generally equals better flow in the exhaust which equals more power.

Enjoy it! You could be driving another fun car with a completely boring sounding engine (cough FL5 cough) with almost no good sounding exhausts that aren’t just noise.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Don't be ashamed. Embrace the beautiful roar of your mighty little three-cylinder nugget. Let The raucous tones flow through your veins and release that sweet sweet dopamine when you jam the throttle pedal to the floor.

compensate much?

Those three monkes look like they're singing For the Longest Time

I have been told all through my life I have a voice that carries

Good meme, but we really ought to end small-penis hatred.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

It's not about the actual size, it's more like a mindset

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 136 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It's not the small penis we hate, it's the loud car.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Counterpoint: it's the hate that makes them compensate?

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, but we use the small penis as an insult, which is not fair.

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I don't understand nudity options in games. You got average and above average. Few people gonna go with average then.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Those are noobs though, just git good and save the world with a small dick.

[–] pinkystew@reddthat.com 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My most satisfying sexual experience was with a small dude

I begged him for a second date. I think he was self-conscious about it. Dude was marriage material

[–] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

I m a small dude thx to give me confidence

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hate a lot of things.
Guess i should start body shaming because of that?

No. Only insecure losers bodyshame.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's like with the "do you punch a Nazi?", even pacifists have limits.

Then again, I think for me it's ok to hit people where it hurts when you want to hurt them--- and penis size is the "alpha males" easy and effective target just like crowd size is a certain assholes weakness.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Not even remotely comparable. When you punch a Nazi you are only hurting a Nazi.
When you body shame you hurt every single person who has that characteristic.

If everyone started shitting on characteristics you possess you probably wouldn't like it either.
Have some fucking empathy.

Testicle size and reproductive potency are entirely unrelated to penis size, for all the men out there. And if you only ever have one partner at a time that you want to make babies with, you don’t really need to be a super stud in the testicle department. You just need regular sexual contact with your lady half.

But this shows that even if you do want all the ladies, large testicles don’t matter.

(Aside; people with breeder fetishes who impregnate multiple women are fucking gross and weird. Musk is one such and just.. eew.)

How was the TMI calculated in this study?

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago

As someone with a loud car, I can confirm

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

Boy, maga cultists sure are loud AF...

I can literally hear these monkeys singing.

In primates small testicle size is correlated with how many males a female typically mates with. More males mating with the same female means the male that produces the most sperm has an advantage. So gorillas have tiny balls because every troop only has one silverback male, and chimps have horrifically huge nuts because there’s a lot of competition for mates from other males in the troop.

Interestingly, humans fall roughly in the middle of the scale in terms of ball size!

Yet the head of a human penis is shaped for removing competing semen from a woman's vagina

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it's obviously shaped like that for camouflage in autumnal forests

[–] Echinoderm@aussie.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

Ah yes, nature's ghillie suit.

Kinky by nature.

General rule amongst those groups: "If you can't be good, be loud."
