            Idk, I forget shit all the time.

            Unfortunately, I usually forget the useful shit I need to remember, not “haha duck corkscrew dick”.

        That article reminded me of that politician who said women’s bodies would prevent pregnancy from rape. Clearly he had so little contact with women he confused them with ducks.
