Could a creature really evolve a penis as a combat weapon?
And do Elephants actually do this.
>>
i've broken a man's jaw with it idk
>>
It is an interesting concept and in the realm of possibility, but considering it was posted on reddit it was done purely to justify their nasty sexual degeneracy and not actually discussing paleontology and biology which they thoroughly ruined.
>>
i can't see what part of evolution would lead to this
it could only really benefit in situations where the elephant is fucked ie. where a predator is already directly under them where their stomach is, and getting a boner drains a lot of blood from your head which i imagine isn't something you want in a life or death situation

Bull elephants have raped other animals to death but that's it. No, elephants IRL don't choke out humans or other animals. It's just weird autistic homosexual bestiality shit on reddit as per usual.
>>
Absolutely not.
Procreation is basically the most fundamental, most important thing in nature. Genitalia needs to stay protected. Risking it for for combat situations when you already have strong legs or maybe even a powerful trunk would be absolutely retarded and nature rarely does retarded concepts.
>>
>>5061435
Theoretically, yes, but the environment and precursors required for it to occur would be nearly impossible without an advanced intelligent lifeform being the guiding hand
>>
>what can an Argentinosaurus even do though
>>
>>5061481
Lol, fur affinity moderator is god.
Wow, that sounds like the worst hell imaginable.

Average all yesterdays fan's "artistic inquiry". Naish, Conway, Kosemen; this is your legacy.

The sheer number of times just one guy has replied to this thread disturbs me

Actual mental illness.

Maybe he is the fed bot he shrieks about because this is a carefully created false consensus which is what fed bots do in theory
>stay away from science goy, dick jokes are satanic homosexual bestiality. you only need common sense and what you last heard. scientists are degenerate. science enthusiasts are degenerate. my fellow trad christian 4channers, paleontology is terrible.

Fun fact: paleontology is a major threat to land development and oil extraction.

Two words: Tay. Peer. Actually, it's one word.
Anyway, tapirs have prehensile penes that they use to grab things, scratch their ears and backs and more. While not related to elephants except extremely distantly, evolution gave tapirs their bizarre anatomy and I could imagine convergent evolution might give some elephant relative a similar one.
As for "strangling"
sure, sort of. An elephant could /theoretically/ strangle something with their trunks (not their penis, wtf). Their trunks are very, very strong. But as far as I know and can tell, this ability has never been documented. Elephants use tusks and, much like closest relative, Americans, their sheer size and weight for fighting. They're not known to strangle, relying more on being very, very heavy to attack and defend. Elephants do the same plus use trunks to grab, swat and hit.
>>
>>5061435
Slugs do.
>>
>>5061496
No fed anon. Elephants aren't going to choke the life out of you with their penises. No imaginary creature will choke you to death with its penis either. Stay focused on your mission fed anon.
>>
Unless the penis lost it's original function I don't see this evolving. Any injury to the reproductive organ would decrease the chances if reproduction
>>
>>5061435
giwtwm

>>5061435
Octopus tentacles are also their sexual organs. Did you know that?
>>
>>
>>5061657
that's not what I look like
>>
>>5061654
no, just one of them doubles as a penis. not all eight.
>>
>>5061672
It gets weirder when you remember that the tentacles are also their lips.

Traumatic insemination is a thing for arthropods. Bedbugs starting to rape predators to death should be feasible enough.
For that matter, while not a male reproductive organ, wasps use their ovipositors as a weapon to inject venom, viruses and eggs in prey species. Some went so far as to turn it into a stinger. Basically a vagina turned into a dagger.
>>
>>5061452
Life or death situations inherently divert blood towards extremities though

>Kosemen
>legacy
koseman himself was a faggot degenerate fantasizing about animals raping their prey to death in elementary school and having genitals in their mouths.
>>
>>5061657
>>5061670
hilariously accurate though considering tapirs have prehensile penii
>>
>>5061435
I don't see why not. Women have already weaponized their breasts.
>>
>>5061943
this actually explains a lot about his work, both paleoart and "All Tomorrows"
>>
>>5061943
How do i learn the koseman lore
>>
>>5061638
I choked your mom to death with my penis
>>
>>5061435
Yes because elephants really strangle lions with their dicks.
>>
>>5062202
No they don't fed anon.
>>
>>5062204
That was sarcasm. Dinosaurs have suffered the same CIA fate as Tolkien: got too popular so glowniggers felt forced to ruin it.
>>
>>5062435
You don't belong here.
>>
>>5061995
you just have to plunge into his website. He updates it frequently and some pages get removed periodically. When I first found out about the turtle-rape-mouth-genitals elementary school thing he had a section about demons that he "saw in his dreams" and "thought about how they were likely not all bad"
>>
>>5062469
Lol, that's your whole argument right?
Ban or warn people and delete their comments whenever you have an autistic meltdown.
You're an autistic psychopath.
You definitely do belong on 4ch forever.
That isn't something to boast about though.
>>5062570
Sounds like quintessential high functioning autism. Which in turn explains why /an/ is mostly dead.
The best thread in recent memory was the one about the Wollemi pine growing tips and tricks.
>>
>>5062675
I'm not a janny.

>>5061790
Thanks for giving me another reason to hate wasps.

>>5062676
>replied instantly from a different time zone to say they aren't a janny...

Um, I love you and all the other fed-jannies and bots of 4ch and apologize for interfering with your vital cyber peace-keeping efforts.
I apologize for interrupting your valuable contribution of policing the world.
In the future I will simply agree with everything everyone says on /an/ because most users are feds or bots controlled by feds.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Your behavior isn't suspicious at all and I totally think you're a normal organic user acting normally.
I love /an/.
It is the best.
I love the people that control /an/.
They are the best.
I love all animals, religions and ethnicities.
Everything is good because it's good.
