Christ, I wish Americans would get over their embarrassment that half their population has a vagina.

Embarrassment? To me it looks like they want control.
Definitely a control thing.
THIS IS A CHRISTIAN MINECRAFT SERVER. SUCH LANGUAGE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
This feels like a reference to a streamer video I’ve never seen

Not loving guns and murder? Unamerican communist!
Talking about a lady's body parts or for that matter anything remotely related to sexuality? Jesus Christ won't someone please save our children from this fate worse than death!?
Right now...you might want to start loving guns.
I don't know if you haven't noticed but there are literal nazis in the Whitehouse.
This anti-gun shit needs to stop from progressives. The fascist already have them.
Idk about the urban left, but us in the rural left have been armed our whole lives.
I'd say it's the urban left, I'm like you rural and left and armed.

Hypocrisy. Bought some lube on amazon, and they sent a print pamphlet ad for vibrators to my parents adress addressed to me but now they want to talk about embarrassing?
Since when does Amazon send printed ads?
I think it was sold by a third party
It's not something often, i've only received 3, usually around holidays.
But Amazon has no problems with the sale of adult toys? Hypocrites!
This isn’t fair at all, some of us bathe in that stuff
The funny part is that there’s very little reason to actually buy a barrel of lube. In porn, they just mix their own lube using distilled water (available cheaply from virtually any grocery or hardware store) and a dissolvable powder. There’s not a good reason to ship wet lube in bulk, because freight shipping is calculated by weight and you’re essentially just paying to ship water. The added benefit is that the porn makers can mix the lube to be a thinner or thicker consistency, depending on their specific needs.
For the curious, look up J-lube, X-lube, K-lube, or Fist Lubricant Powder. And yes, all of the above are available for purchase on Amazon.
And to drive the point home that you’re just paying for freight shipping… J-lube powder is currently $26.77 for 10oz, which makes 10 liters of lube when mixed per the manufacturer’s recommended dosage. So $26.77 for 10 liters, plus probably $3 for the distilled water you need to mix it with. Let’s round up to an even $30 in total. The barrel is currently $1775.32 for 7080fl.oz, or ~209.4 liters. So the barrel is ~$8.47 per liter, while the dry powder mix is ~$3.00 per liter. The barrel is almost 3x as much per liter as the dry powder.
This guy lubricates.
Username checks out.
Gotta respect that math, but value might still be possible.
55 gallons of water weighs about 459lbs (208kg), so that barrel is in that range.
Get 10 friends to chip in and order the barrel. Use those 10 friends to lift and leave that barrel somewhere that is highly visible, like the front porch of an ex-wife or ex-husband. Maybe your local police station if you are from a small town?
If that is worth $1,700 to someone, I can't really say. I have paid more (per pound) for less significant practical jokes before though.
(It would be cheaper to use another barrel, actual water, and just fake the package label though. Real lube would just be for show but it would show that you have great attention to detail.)

I did not expect this much detail on this topic. There were discussions about detergents and such in another thread. And the logic is exactly the same.
Dont ship water.

Funny story… had a friend who was very early adopter of the Amazon Alexa devices. Me being a nerd knew all the things it could do including ordering things on Amazon so I proceeded to say “Alexa, order a 55gal drum of KY jelly” to order a 55gal drum of lube. He had to go into Amazon to cancel the order (I also knew how to do that so I wasn’t worried) but the suggestions he got for the longest time were hilarious.
… let’s see where this goes. The us is now a conservative country. Sex toys aren’t conservative.
I actually bought a sex toy on Amazon a week ago and I was pissed that they asked for my driver's license to purchase it. WTF? What a screwed up country we live in.
I would be much more embarrassed having a potent punani than buying products. 🤷🏿♀️
Lol but they are fine with reminding me constantly of the one time I bought syringes for "a friend" with addiction years ago.
Edit: to be clear I don't use Amazon anymore as of last year and this is another good reason why.
Bought replacement float and toilet seat last week to fix my aunts toilet.
Amazon now thinks I’m a toilet repair technician or some shit. I see nothing but different kinds of floats, stoppers, tank gaskets, seats, bidets, anything that can go in or on a toilet, Amazon thinks I need.
I’ve never been ad bombarded this hard before, and it’s about toilet parts.
I bought a bidet like six years ago (right before the pandemic) and Amazon is convinced I need to buy another one every single week. How many toilets do you think I have, Amazon?

Looking up Vuva, they sell neodymium magnet embedded dildos. I can't speak to the medical efficacy, I'm just saying what they look like.
Somehow Amazon doesn't like that but is OK with actual dildos?
Oh my god, it's so bad.
"Soft tissue lengthens, relaxing muscles and ligaments. As the tissue relaxes, the Neodymium magnets increase blood flow to the area calming nerves and promote relaxation. VuVa™ are the only patented sets available with Neodymium magnets."
"Magnetic Therapy is based on the premise that all living organisms exist in a magnetic field, including the human body. The human body generates its own magnetic field. Therefore, the body can heal itself when electromagnetic energy is in balance."
It's like those stupid magnet bracelets and elbow wraps, only for your vagina. It's all woo.
The product is a vaginal dilator, which has evidence supporting its use in treatment of several medical conditions. The distinction from a dildo has more to do with intended use than form.
The magnets are just woo.
Oh, no disagreements with dilators; they're essential for e.g., women with vaginismus that want to have 'normal' sexual relationships.
As the tissue relaxes, the Neodymium magnets increase blood flow
Uhm, no, the iron in your blood isn't in a ferromagnetic form.
Magnets are snake oil. They have no effect on the human body. Don’t waste your money.
Obligatory

Fuck Amazon but it would be nice if we had an FDA to get rid of this crank magnet health product that WIRED is promoting.
Wait, vag magnets are pseudoscience?! My partner has an entire data center's worth of HDD magnets up hers to ward the evil crotch spirits away!

Dude, what the fuck!
Once I order tampons on Amazon. They just put a shipping label directly on a single box.
I’m not embarrassed by stuff like that, but how weird.
Why is it weird, though?
It’s about time to boycott the fuck out of those Nazi boot lickers
