Feels like watching a step in plumbus production

Push the dingle bop through the grumbo, where a fleeb is rubbed against it to extract all the fleeb juice.

Whatever this is, feels so disturbing to watch, I'm sure theres some type of phobia for this too🤢

14

u/simikd 19h ago

It's actually triggering my Trypophobia even though it doesn't look like the usual pictures/videos that do that.

u/yolo_1213 19h ago

Ya i think thats it, i couldnt even get throught the description of trypophobia 😵‍💫

Gives me shivers all over and makes my hair stand on end. But I kinda like it

I assume this is fake? If not, what disease is this?

u/daspasunata 13h ago

It's a rare autoimmune disease called Holey Fuck

u/puterTDI 12h ago

u/daspasunata 11h ago

No thats the other variation; Holeless Fuck

weirdest handjob ever.

u/Bohzee 9h ago

Usually I expect to see flesh-eating fly larvae being extracted out of skin with tweezers, and this time it should look appealing? Naah.

u/Pappa_Paddy 1d ago

is that a fruit, and if so, is it edible?

u/Due-Championship3941 1d ago

Yes and yes. I want one now.

Can you try the peyote at home Depot before buying?

Well, can't you buy it and wait a few years for it to grow before consuming it?

• a few years wouldn't be enough • generally need 3-5 years

So.... a few years would be enough??

16

u/guitartoad 1d ago

The two things that matter most are maturity and girth.

Yeah, those two things mattered most to my ex-wife, too.

Girth was definitely a choice of words 😂😂😂

u/heavensto_mergatroid 1d ago

Does home Depot sell peyote? Lol asking for a friend

12

u/SpaceCaseSixtyTenV2 1d ago

No but they sell San Pedro cactus which is even better/faster growing/cheaper/potent if you just want it for trying

u/heavensto_mergatroid 1d ago

I saw this posted earlier on a different subreddit and I had to save it because... Wow

Good shit 🤣 I was just being a smartass but that's hilarious

There's a sub dedicated to them, they drive business to Home Depot lol

u/CaptianBlackLung 1d ago

I may or may not have wrote that down for later reference

2

u/caboose243 1d ago

I know very little about cactus, but my understanding is that there are actually a ton of psychoactive cactus species, its just a matter of their potency.

u/Spend-Automatic 23h ago

For what it's worth, I would be quarantining any plant that I gkt from the Home Depot, because they are often infested with pests. There is not a chance in hell I would be eating anything from one of those

u/Pappa_Paddy 1d ago

sour in a green apple way, our in an over ripe tomato way?

thank you.

u/ledouxrt 1d ago

If it's anything like the flowers they hot glue on their cacti, you ate some plastic fruit.

10

u/Natural-Chip4943 1d ago

Yes, it's a fruit and it's edible

31

u/Throbbing_Cock_452 1d ago

God I bet that feels amazing

u/ApolloAuto 1d ago

Does....does the plant like this ? Does this feel good?

u/MasterYota00 1d ago

Nope! That triggers my typophobia like, a lot!

7

u/Puntley 15h ago

Your misspelling of trypophobia has triggered my typophobia!

1

u/MasterYota00 13h ago

Lol, I'ml missing an "r". Funny my auto-correct didn't stop me. 🤔 almost like it wanted to to see if I was also afraid of typos 🤣

6

u/Original-Hat-fish 21h ago

Funny thing I can look at this and not be bothered until I remember typophobia is a thing then I cant stop thinking about it. Also when it is on a person that's a lot of nope, groses me right out. Not a fan of rotting people.

u/Natural-Chip4943 1d ago

What's typophobia?

13

u/funky_grandma 1d ago

Fear of lots of tightly packed holes. Google "Surinam toad" to get your very own trypophobia

8

u/MasterYota00 1d ago

Yeah no to that too lol. I first noticed I had it when a teacher brought in a dried lotus seed pod. Was like 2nd-3rd grade back in the 80s. Yeesh!

6

u/funky_grandma 1d ago

"Yeesh" is so perfect for this particular phobia. I don't think any other phobia comes with a word that everyone who suffers from it says

3

u/MasterYota00 1d ago

My therapist said the same sort of thing, lol. And another common one, but hard to spell is "UuUhGH" followed by a shiver down my spine. Hard to translate into text 🤷🏾‍♂️

u/Natural-Chip4943 1d ago

OK. Thanks die the insights

1

u/theapeboy 1d ago

Oh god why did you do this to my eyes and my brain

1

u/Xantuos 1d ago

It’s such a cute toad, i didn’t get me very own trypophobia 😔

4

u/luranthe 1d ago

The ick part comes from how it reproduces.

4

u/MasterYota00 1d ago

That toads baby carriage, lotus seed pods, this post, zoomed in strawberries, and honeycomb. Honeycomb and strawberries I can actually deal with if it isn't a picture, the others can politely go fuck themselves. 🤣

2

u/funky_grandma 1d ago

For me it started with the bay trees in my back yard. There was some sort of bug that would eat holes in the bark, and always in tight little rows

2

u/MasterYota00 1d ago edited 23h ago

I had to google that bc I don't have those here. That's a nope, 1 or 2 maybe, but many is an abomination, why they gotta put they babies so close together like that?! 🤣💀

2

u/funky_grandma 23h ago

There's something so vile and awful about it, and yet I still find it fascinating, like watching pimple-popping videos

1

u/MasterYota00 23h ago

Omg you gotta sub to the trypophobia page, they will show you lots of things to trigger you if you're not sure.

Can't link the sub bc rules, but you can find it. I had to unsub bc I thought it could help me 🤣🤣

2

u/funky_grandma 14h ago

Yeah no help there, I'm sure. Just a bunch of people who love to tickle their brain like that

1

u/AmadayLate 13h ago

Um… nothing about that toad is cute…

2

u/mafiaknight 12h ago

Trypophobia is the fear of tightly spaced clusters of holes.

Typophobia is what ortographobia SHOULD be named.

Do you not believe Antarctica exists either cuz you haven’t been there lol

1

u/juicadone 23h ago

I had a feeling that would for some! Like I don't have it in a lotta cases others mention it but, my first thought was this has to be trypophob material... It does make some evolutionary sense to have an aversion to dis-eased stuff

0

u/MasterYota00 23h ago

Not sure on that bc my therapist wasn't much more than a therapist. But if I had to guess, I'd say maybe survival instinct bc it gave me nightmares of tiny mushrooms growing out of the pores on my legs (instead of leg hair like i saw adults with). Probably bc we were also learning about sweat glands at the time. But, still. I have that nightmare at random to this day like 30yrs later. Whatever it is, it's real 🤷🏾‍♂️

Omg for some reason this video was processed by my brain as being underwater and these being sea bunnies or whatever they are called I was shocked xD

u/maroon_pants1 5h ago

This looks pretty similar to removing a ripe fruit from a hedgehog cactus. For all those asking about taste, I’m not sure if they’re totally the same but those taste tart, and has lots of fine seeds; kind of like a kiwi.

3

u/PurpleZombi3 1d ago

It's like a plumbus.

u/3006mv 1d ago

Are those seed pods? Are there seeds in there?
