You need these now on account of wine bottles evolving that maze-like cork.
Please curse me with knowledge. I’m ready

Oh… wow…ehm…how do I unsee this article?
You knew it was cursed knowledge when you clicked on it. Caveat Lemmor
The existence of the lucky 10000 implies the existence of the unlucky 10000
WHAT IS LEARNED CAN NEVER BE UNLEARNED.
THIS IS YOUR CURSE FOR USING THE FIRE PROMETHEUS STOLE FROM THE GODS.
Idk, I forget shit all the time.
Unfortunately, I usually forget the useful shit I need to remember, not “haha duck corkscrew dick”.
Now you need to read into the female duck’s countermeasures!
Duck sex is really fucked up…
Cockscrew penises*
Was an interesting read. Thanks.
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.
So basically this is a lockpick for locks?
Um. Let’s say, if you decided to google for duck’s penis, you’d be in for a surprise.
With a song

Thanks. That swimming squid penis was news to me.
Wait what’s the joke, I’m not an ornithologist

Oh haha, ok, that’s fucking good
That wine opener was purchased deliberately.
Penits
Who the hell has a counter-clockwise corkscrew!?
Good catch! I had to stare at it for a minute picturing myself spinning it into a cork and it does feel like it goes the wrong way. (Not righty righty).
they’re pretty common here, you can get one at your local leftorium
Last I checked they had none left…
All right.
Yeah, and then I left.
Did you feel left out not getting one?
You could always right the situation.
Without it I was screwed
Left handed people
Those cursed left handeds. We should burn them at the stake.
who the hell analyses a comic so deeply >:)
Yes.
Coriolis Effect. Must be a Southern Hemisphere corkscrew.
Ok, but like… Everyone down the chain gets the joke, I don’t know what the problem is. Open your wine with the penis thing
Try being a geoscientist… So, so many blurry photos of rocks folks’ kids find in the backyard
Various shades of dirt and plants here.
Hey what kind of tree is this?
Potato-quality photo of tree from 150 ft away
These people always manage to take immaculate, professional photos of their damn food or their damn kids but somehow revert to monkey when it’s time to photograph a plant
If you show a geoscientist a picture of a rock, does he still lick it?
I hate that I know this too
That is the wrong facial expression. That man would be laughing his ASS off. Like ribs hurting, can’t breath laughing.
Maybe he or someone he loves was molested by a duck. It’s been known to happen.
The Curse of Knowledge actually relates to educated people trying to communicate with people under the assumption that everyone knows as much as they do, forgetting that the average person might not be as educated
Yeah, we all know that. ;-)
But the stupid uncursed pleb doesn’t know that.
I say curse him!
It’s for their good, and for the good of human kind.
But boy do some people have high curse resistance.
Over 100%.
Literally impossible to educate (which is the first part of the cursing process).

I actually try to talk to folks to the level of their knowledge. I had a debate with some coworkers about vaccines. I explained to them that it’s safe, thousands of studies proved they are, I also mentioned vaccines are produced just like any medicine. And yet people take paracetamol willy nilly without question but somehow treat vaccines differently; even though overusing paracetamol could lead to hearing loss as happened to my dad.
However, I admit that what got me is the mRNA vaccine technology when a colleague said there has been no human trial of it before. The technology has actually been developed for over 40 years but with strong proof of concept. But I find it hard to explain that to laypeople.
“wine opener” alone sets the education level
Some may call it a blessing
" Babe, you make me so hard I can literally unscrew a bottle’s tap with it"

It’s a cork screw eh?
OH. I scrolled past this post like 4 times before I got it. Lesson for the other ducks on viagra, follow the directions on the label or you’ll end up like this guy.
