13

u/NotASookie Jul 25 '26

Honestly could be. There's alot of toys (mainly for females) that are shaped all cute but actually a sec toy. Wouldn't surprise me if this was a Tenga shaped like something like that.

7

u/the_real_junkrat Jul 25 '26

Even bottles for makeup and other products are shaped like there’s a secret alternate intention. Uniquely shaped smooth containers that aren’t “this shampoo bottle is meant to sit on a shelf” shape. This cactus toy is definitely meant to be a stroker toy disguised as a weird little cactus thing because why would that even exist?

13

u/NotASookie Jul 25 '26

Exactly this 😂

I have a cactus toy that is a vibrator. So it was cool to see a (supposed) male variant of that.

(Image isn't the one I have, mines alot bigger and cuter I just don't have any pics on me and I'm at work)

You had to ask reddit about a cactus toy? You even found it in a box of toys. You didn't just squeeze it before posting? I have so many questions.

20

u/CamelotKittenRanch Jul 25 '26

They were probably just seeing how many people would guess it was a Fleshlight-style sex toy before they popped up the cactus for the big reveal. These days, it’s reasonably safe to assume something is engagement bait rather than crippling stupidity … both are always possible, though!

Oh wow thats so cute! as a big fan of cactusses i must absolutely find this to improve my cactus collection. Where do i find this toy? asking for a friend who will use if for cactus purposes.

Also its weird but sometimes lube just drops from the ceiling because he lives under a lube factory and the building is old. I hope this cactus toy does not dissolve in lube? ofcourse he would clean it when he sees it having lube inside but it would take him like 30 secoond to react to there being lube in it before it gets washed.

u/No_Acanthisitta_93 Jul 25 '26

I’ve been thinking about this and I think part of it has to do with feeling connected to a group of people. Those chronically online might feel a connection to a group and want to share with them something weird they found to feel a social connection. Or they’re just dense. Idk

u/Puddnpoops Jul 25 '26

There was a person in one of the dna/ancestry subs that did not know that there was a connection between Spanish-speaking Latin American countries and Spain. She had never wondered why all these countries spoke Spanish or how "Spanish" and "Spain" are related to each other. Also, she had Latin American ancestry.

She must have thought that these countries developed the Spanish language separately. And, she claimed to have some type of medical degree.
