    This is WEIRD, right?

    I mean I know there are professions and hobbies where cutting the penis off an animal carcass is just another Tuesday. I assume there are (or have been) cultures where this sort of thing tracks. But, this isn’t a normal thing for people to think about doing, let alone do, right? Or am I the weirdo and literally it’s super common to play with the penis of dead animals?

    Like, I’m not intentionally being ablest or anything, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

    And in all fairness, I haven’t read the private journals to know the details of this “absurd scenario” and given the subject matter, I don’t think it’s anything I’d want to read, the headline is more than enough to be off putting. So, there is that.

      It’s RFK Jr. This is just another day for him.

      He took a beached whale carcass’ head, threw it on top of his car, and the “juices” leaked in through the window on his kids.

      He dumped a dead bear cub in central park and left a bike on top just to make it look weird, as a “prank”.

      He snorted cocaine off the toilet seat according to himself.

      And this is the stuff he openly talks about, I’m convinced you can search “RFK Jr animal story” with damn near any animal and you’ll find something.

    Look, usually I am just as much “fuck trump” as anyone else l, but seriously, how many of you would honestly just let a perfectly good racoon penis go to waste?

    That doesn’t bother me at all. I come from a biologist family, and this is unusual, but not morally wrong, and it speaks to curiosity. Unfortunately, his curiosity didn’t extend to developing a working understanding of science or biology, and he turned into a conspiracy theorist with a complete lack of self-criticism.

    So now, instead of becoming a scientist, he’s destroying the practice of science in the USA.

      Maybe people who mutilate the genitals of dead animals aren’t actually future scientists?

      Worth thinking about.

      hes totally in the pseudoscience. even someone with a science background isnt going around cutting off dead animals penises. he also chose the animal with the most dangerous pathogens too.

        Maybe the brain worm came from taste-testing raccoon cock rather than snorting coke off toilet seats. Just the type of intrepid thinker we want in charge of the Health Department, heh.
