As a nurse, I can tell you what my first thought was, but no (also walnut would be a terrible material for that).

Oh thank god a whatisthisthing community that allows jokes unlike those buttplugs on reddit.
Its a buttplug for the mods on r/whatisthisthing, they each get one with their star sign bedazzled on it and it sings a song when they ban someone for posting jokes.
tbh even as far as jokes go this is barely a joke given that it's still a genuine challenge and even as a joke it's still a fairly clean one (at least in the sexual sense)
Simply the spirit of a joke in the comment is enough to ban someone, and its understandable. Reddit is a very serious place for very serious important discussions, such as the story about the box, or that kid that broke both his arms, or that guy with two dongs. There's a time and place for everything, like this thing all the way up the r/whatusthisthing's mod team's anuses for all of time.
I also choose this guy's dead platform
I mean... Everything's a buttplug if you try hard enough.
my guess was actually going to be "bedpan" but idk how much my nurse background plays into that
I don't think wood is the most suitable material, but in an emergency...
Bedpan was the first thing I thought of too, even before I saw your comment. I'm not a nurse, but I've had to deal with them with loved ones, and that tends to burn something into your brain. 😬
Yeah, that’s why I’m here on lemmy now. Reddit mods have made it no fun.
Same, made a random joke then they banned me and told me I had to apologize to be unbanned 🤣
I told them their subs content was not interesting enough to justify such a stupid rule and unsubbed lol
I got banned there for suggesting people say "thonks" and "thunks" every time their aggressive SOLVEDbot responded to any post containing the word "thanks" with "HEY HAVE YOU CONSIDERED MARKING THIS THREAD SOLVED YOU COMPLETE MORON" (90% of the time the post was "thanks, but here is why that is not correct").
Admittedly I was being impish about it, but I was pointing out a need and their response was "hey fuck you".
how dare people be polite, lol
