That tracks. Most of my dildos are between 6.5in and 8in.
Who the hell is making a 10 foot ones, and who for?? Whales??
One must presume that they're for your mother, no?
So, whales?
It's an absolute indictment of the pervasive inadequacy of privacy laws that this information was able to be compiled in the first place.
I don’t think they went around people’s houses and measured them all like some kind of sexual doomsday book.
A Dongsday book, if you will
City is not considered personally identification data. So no law applies to it. Anyone you buy your dildus from can sell data based on city and size. Just not your address and name.
The sales numbers and distribution etc is considered their data not yours.
I think having exact numbers of who buys what (down to the city) is still too much information, but that's just my 2 cents
This is the kind of news I come to Lemmy for 💪
Are there UK towns that are expected to buy the biggest dildos? What are the criteria for that?
Westminster. They get 650 diodes averaging about 5ft7 every 4 to 5 years.
Are there UK towns that are expected to buy the biggest dildos?
Probably wherever the most stuck-up people live.

I often find myself remembering the earlier days of the internet fondly and missing all of the random and ridiculous content that used to proliferate it. Then stuff like this comes along and it brings me right back.
Keep being weird, internet.
It's early here and my daily info intake is complete!
intake is complete!
You realize that could be taken in many different ways.
Actually, so could my comment.
UK.... we need to talk.
Where are you shopping? Are you getting a good deal? Do they offer international shipping?
I used to live near the LoveHoney warehouse. I'm actually a little annoyed I ever moved away now though.
I'd be happier man with a discount there...
