New, what is it? I found this handy dandy, purple plastic tube.

What practical purpose could this have? What should/can I do with it?

Do you hate knowing the lore, or do you hate being reminded that the cylinder was threatened?

u/CyberMonkey314 10h ago

Not to be morbid but...do we actually know the fate of the cylinder in that incident?

Eventually he just posted ‘Hospital’ in the thread, so there was probably a happy ending. Or the doctors helped him, one or the other.

Oh, wait, I think I might've seen a documentary about that online.

Idk what's being talked about. Did someone try to fuck a cylinder?

u/CyberMonkey314 8h ago

Ok, ermmm...let's just say a mummy cylinder and a daddy cylinder loved each other very much, and one day were injudicious about...ummm...well, they were having a special cuddle, and daddy's cylinder...err...so, mummy was an M&Ms tube, and...look, it's time to go to bed, ok?!

This doesn't help me at all. I can't tell if someone with a pencil dick tried to fuck one or if someone shoved it in them. Edit: I looked it up. No Longer confused. BUT HOW. How is it so small it fits in there. Also if it fit just use lube or even (more) butter to get it out!!!

It's going to happen. You knew it was going to happen as soon as you saw the dimensions of the cylinder

u/MarionberryOk2874 11h ago

With a 1/2 inch diameter??
