Government so small it can fit in your bedroom!

How were they enforcing this?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's just a tack on when they do search warrants.. oh we did not find any drugs but we found 7 dildos.. Off to prison!

They'll know I'm breaking the law, because I'll be flying my custom gadsen flag with 7 dildoes on it that reads "Come and count them"

Is there a shortage of dildos in Texas that they need such laws to stop hoarding?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There is decidedly not a shortage of dildos in Texas.

Have you seen their politicians?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago

those are just plain ol' dicks

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I’m guessing they are not limiting the number of guns you can own though.

Ever bring a dildo to a gun fight?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No, but there was the time someone brought a dildo wielding drone to a campaign event and attacked the Bernallio county Sheriff with a “dongcopter.”

Why are so many people using them in Walmart?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago (3 children)

People like to sample the produce as they shop, granted it's usually a bag of crisps or a handful of grapes but it's the same... ballpark.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Long queues, nothing else to do…..

First, they came for the dildos, and I did nothing.

This has very strong “If I can’t make my wife come, nobody will ~~cum~~ come!” vibes.

I think it’s got religious overtones. One per day except the sabbath, when you have to leave your holes free for God to enter. Like Mary did.

Snorted and almost choked on my coffee when I scrolled past this.

The worst part about this is that I'd rather Republicans waste time with pointless legislation such as this rather than something damaging that they could actually enforce.

Look, I have SIX perfectly fine dildos, all in their individual velvet pouches. My grandma even gives me a knowing wink when she sees them on my nightstand (she's very with-it, my grandma). But the minute I walk into Walmart and snag NUMBER SEVEN - BAM! 💥 The world implodes. Little Timmy starts twerking in the cereal aisle, the self-checkout beeps incessantly with unholy vibrations, and a rogue bag of gummy worms spontaneously transforms into a life-size silicone replica of the Lone Star State... it's CHAOS, I tell ya! This clearly-reasonable six-dildo limit is PROTECTING our precious Texas innocence. Seven just unleashes the primal urges, and nobody wants that, especially not while picking out a new can of Copenhagen. 🤠

There are definitely some Texas billionaires that own more than six politicians.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Rofl, they were afraid for their right to bear arms instead of their right to bear dildos.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

No one’s stopping them having bear dildos, just not too many of them.

The solution is clearly to set up sex toy libraries.

...They would never interfere with libraries, right?

I would never have thought to go to walmart to buy a sex toy if I hadn't seen them somewhat prominently displayed on my way towards the vitamin aisle.

Don’t want to start WWIII but even I and my fifty buttplugs were surprised to hear that WALMART was selling sex toys.

That's interesting:

(f) A person who possesses six or more obscene devices or identical or similar obscene articles is presumed to possess them with intent to promote the same.

So it's not just 6 obscene devices, you could have two Rampant Rabbits and break the law. I assume a double-ended dildo counts as one obscene device unless they can be disengaged to make two identical ones.

"Obscene devices" is rather a loose term too. The kinky are likely to have quite a few knocking about but for personal use only.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They define them in 43.21(7), albeit, still quite loosely:

(7) "Obscene device" means a device including a dildo or artificial vagina, designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.

So maybe a devices like the magic wand is in the clear since it's marketed as a massager. I wonder if a vibrator could simply be repackaged and marketed as a massager, as well.
