over time this might affect our collective consciousness in regards to the purpose & function of the eggplant; and
can we please just get a straightforward penis emoji already?? Half the human population has a penis attached to their bodies anyway, why are we still so prude about incorporating actual penises into mainstream vernacular & daily life?

Well a little less then 50%... But yes.

The rest can grow them still. They're just temporarily internal.

And usually to get there, they've seen one.

I'm sure it's not a surprise that this post was reported. From what I saw, the conversation remained focused on society and anatomy and remained far less graphic than a basic anatomy textbook. Thanks everyone.

It was also reported for not having the whole thought in the title.

Great post.

Thank you for your thoughtful detailed analysis. I will consider it a compliment for this popular-ish post.

Adults shouldn't be using emojis, and that's a hill I'm willing to die on
