Government so small it can fit in your bedroom!

How were they enforcing this?

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

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!

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago

That's not a dildo, it's a stirring stick.

[-] Aaron@lemmy.nz 10 points 6 days ago

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"

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 5 days ago

That just lets people know you have dildos to steal

[-] PlainSimpleGarak@lemmings.world 27 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

[-] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 18 points 6 days ago

They came for the dildos….. and BOY did they came!!!

[-] JillyB@beehaw.org 5 points 6 days ago

Because I was not a dildo

[-] yarr@feddit.nl 22 points 6 days ago

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. 🤠

The new top post in this community. I hope everyone is proud of themselves. I know I am.

[-] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 8 points 6 days ago

I feel honored and touched.

But enough about your personal life...

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.

[-] pemptago@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago

They often are.

Interestingly, it doesn't include butt plugs - Republicans must love those, also penis cages and cock rings.

[-] maniii@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Possession with Intent to Distribute ?

I mean is a weapon of Mass Distraction ?

What is this law ???

[-] adavis@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

For the double, if it counts as two when split it'd be illegal because two identical devices

[-] mennorobert@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Texas is weird.

Policemen Josh and Wade showing up to a party:

Josh: "Alright Wade, let's make sure there are not more than 6 erections in there."

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Pretty sure you can’t be married more than 6 times either. Coincidence? I think not!

[-] mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 days ago

So how exes do they enforce this? Random dildo count inspectors? Dildo registration?

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Dildo inspector at work:

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago

Well for butt plugs you have:

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

well hey you only have 3 holes to a person

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

What if you want to triple stuff?

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

You would not be in a state of Texas then
