No you see they know it’s a cucumber because ancient Egyptian dildos had a compartment for bees so that users could experience a vibration effect.
This is the economy model. Made for the common folk, not Cleopatra. (That is just an urban legend btw.)
I was not aware of this urban legend, but I will repeat it anyways because it’s funny.

Then do the same test but you put it in front of Catharina, and see what happens.
History joke I heard once: if a history book says an object was used for “ritual purposes” that means they haven’t got a clue, unless they specify “fertility rituals” which means they know exactly what it was used for but can’t write that in a highschool history textbook.
Motel of the Mysteries is basically this joke explored over 95 pages, lovingly illustrated by David Macaulay, the guy who did those black and white books Cathedral, Pyramid, Castle, and The Way Things Work, as well as others. It’s hilarious.
“It’s a ritual!” is a classic archaeology meme.
“I found this strange fucking object” vs “I found this strange fucking object”
I hope this is your highest voted comment on Lemmy.
Where are the ‘?’ marks. Is this how people write now.
Imagine yourself being confused and baffled by something, and asking “Really?”. The intonation is rising, as is usual in questions. Imagine yourself hearing someone say something you are completely confident is absurdly false or a lie, and you want to suggest to the person that they’re wrong and you know the truth, by sarcastically asking “Really?”. The intonation is falling, closer to ordinary statements of fact.
OOP is using the full stop at the end of his “questons” to suggest the second, sarcastic intonation.
It’s a unicode emoji of a cucumber that your device apparently doesn’t support
The person you’re replying to is talking about the text in the image. “Is it though. Is it a model cucumber.” which should have two question marks.
is there a problem か
It’s how people spoke in May of 2021. It was a different time.

It was probably used for religious purposes of some sort
indeed. coming closer to believed gods is important to some in any society. its just a clear in and out conclusion.
Usage was frequently accompanied by callings to a deity from a trance like state.
A very popular ritual that has survived for millennia
Remember that the idiots in the 19th & 20th centuries uncovering all kinds of Egyptian stuff purposefully damaged inscriptions and art because they prominently showed gasp penises!
As we well know all women and men in history that lived together with someone of the same gender were just friends. There are many historical records in which esteemed historians depicted the factual truth of deep friendships. Luckily for the rest of us, those noble seers always knew all context required and bore no prejudices towards anything whatsoever. That is a model cucumber. It even tastes like one.

There are some people in here who are weirdly obsessed with risking a yeast infection.
But bro
You could get yourself a yeast infection with 3000 year old yeast
Was talking more about how many people are insisting cucumbers and eggplants should actually be used like that
sourdough infection
Likely used for ceremonial purposes.
The Egyptians weren’t always shy, but there do appear to be traces of green paint.
That’s just Min.
you know, after reading and viewing the depictions in the wikipedia article I am going to just keep my mouth shut.
Mood
Perhaps it was located next to a pair of model tomatoes
“Model cucumber? Hell, nah, son. That there’s a petrified hunk ‘a’ dooky.”
“Ah man, I ate off that thing!”
