Reminds me of the idea I had when stoned back when multimap was a thing... Mulletmap - users load up their mullet and you can locate your nearest one, highest density etc.

I feel Google maps monetised it better

"average uk resident buys 7.13 in dildo" factoid actualy just statistical error. average resident buys a belwo average dildo every few years. Dildos Georg, who travels around the UK and buys over 100 10 ft dildo each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 hours ago

That tracks. Most of my dildos are between 6.5in and 8in.

[-] nomoesyankho@lemmy.wtf 5 points 20 hours ago

What's your problem with Dildos Georg? He's a cool guy

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 3 points 19 hours ago

I'm a fan, too, but he screws up the statistics :(

[-] Zip2@feddit.uk 4 points 19 hours ago

Who the hell is making a 10 foot ones, and who for?? Whales??

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 1 points 6 hours ago

I respect Dildos Georg but do not understand him

[-] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 15 points 17 hours ago

One must presume that they're for your mother, no?

[-] essell@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

So, whales?

This is the kind of news I come to Lemmy for 💪

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.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

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

Are there UK towns that are expected to buy the biggest dildos? What are the criteria for that?

[-] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 4 points 14 hours ago

Westminster. They get 650 diodes averaging about 5ft7 every 4 to 5 years.

[-] Zip2@feddit.uk 5 points 19 hours ago

Are there UK towns that are expected to buy the biggest dildos?

Probably wherever the most stuck-up people live.

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 0 points 19 hours ago

Probably:

  1. buy the biggest dildos

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!

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 8 points 20 hours ago

intake is complete!

You realize that could be taken in many different ways.

Actually, so could my comment.

[-] That_Devil_Girl@lemmy.ml 6 points 20 hours ago

UK.... we need to talk.

Where are you shopping? Are you getting a good deal? Do they offer international shipping?

[-] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 6 points 17 hours ago

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...
