I really don’t mean to defend this dude, so don’t take this as that. Those Os penises (animal penis bones, baculum) are very collectable. I wouldn’t want to be the person collecting and cleaning them, but this is extremely common to see people harvest baculum.
They’re just kinda cool! It’s a Marge Simpson thing. You find them at oddity and reptile shows used as part of crafts all the time.
I saw this watching moonshiners on the history channel, so take it with a grain of salt, but the moonshiners were obsessed with them. Since they bend down at the end, you stick the bone into the spigot where the liquid comes out of the worm bucket (where the alcohol vapor condenses into liquid). It directs the flow into a jar. You can also use a stick, but these dudes were always just carrying raccoon dick bones that I’m sure they harvested themselves.

Extremely may be an exaggeration…
Interesting. Do you know why people collect them? Is it like a rabbits foot? Are there lucky raccoon penises out there?

Thanks to MAGA, I have now officially heard EVERYTHING, and I’m not one bit happy about it.
That’s enough Lemmy for tonight. Time for bed
Yeah, that’s how I got my first racoon baculum. Fox too.
There’s even a fairly brisk if low cost trade in them, and is generally going to come from either winter deaths after spring thaws, or road kill.
