The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.

the bookstore has whale in their name so that was enough of an excuse for me

taxidermy whale sex beats out my previous favorite whale prank: leaving a giant inflatable whale on your neighbors driveway in the middle of the night, so they wake up and see…

Ответ для jordan

A funnier prank would be leaving a real whale.

Okay, but what if I just want a giant inflatable whale to put in my own yard?

Where does one acquire such a whale asking for, uh, reasons

I didn’t know that anyone made inflatable whales 🐋! I think it’d be a great, cool 😎 way to draw attention or advertise WHALE 🐋 WATCHING sites & tours! For 15 years I lived near 1 of the top 10 🐋 WHALE-WATCHING SITES in the continental U.S.: KLAMATH, CALIFORNIA! I kept track of WHALE🐋 SIGHTINGS 👀!

Long ago a couple with a very tired & bored little girl 👧 came in & when I just mentioned ORCA, the GIRL’s EYES 👀 POPPED OPEN! They had a very interesting stay in Klamath & she saw a 300-pound Sea Lion 🦭 made LUNCH 🥙 by an ORCA! They also saw WHALES 🐋 & GREAT WHITE SHARKS 🦈! The girl was ECSTATIC 🤩

As a biologist, I'm often not asked what the difference is between a Blue Whale and a Sperm Whale. "Having a swedish couple bangin' beneath the baleen" is, however, a wrong answer I'd love to give regardless of Sperm Whales being toothed whales.

I never knew why grandma always said that until now.

Ответ для jordan

seems to me that's when true fun and games BEGIN

Because the word for whale and the word for election are both ”val”. So it’s open on ”valdagen”.

Family Feud: Where's the weirdest place you've ever made whoopi

Little known fact, but the blue whale is the largest animal that ever lived that you can get caught having a sex inside the mouth of. Can’t say that about your average dinosaur.

As is tradition, Swedes bang in a whale after voting

Does the sign read GO STICK YOUR HEAD IN A PIG?

omg who cares if people fuck in the whale as long as they don't leave used condoms in there?

I thought they encouraged that sort of thing in Scandinavia.

As everyone knows it is Swedish tradition to fuck inside a whale on election day

As a photographer I note that photo of “the World’s only taxidermied BLUE WHALE 🐋 “ would be better with a Human to give it a sense of SCALE! Or perhaps 🤔 a whaleboat with taxidermied WHALERS, throwing their HARPOONS at it!?! Few people have seen BLUE WHALES 🐋 in the Sea 🌊! I have many times! 🇺🇸🤠 🐋

I’m not a big fan of Taxidermy, yet I think if more museums & cultural centers had PRESERVED BLUE WHALES 🐋, perhaps 🤔 people might RESPECT them more & do more to help them SURVIVE & THRIVE! Sometimes they do end up on beaches or dead ☠️! So why not preserve their skins while giving most to THE SEA?

Why’d Sweden 🇸🇪 be offended by Humans potentially creating more Humans within a 1865 taxidermied BLUE WHALE 🐋??? It’d be a very interesting story for a child 👧 👦 to grow up with! When people ask the child where they were from, they could say “from the belly of a BLUE WHALE 🐋!”

In Swedish, "whale" is "val", and "election" is also "val". Also, Gothenburg prides itself on its penchant for word play. (This may have been pointed out in the thread somewhere already but I didn't see it)

Maybe I'm too boring, but I cannot fathom wanting to have sex in the mouth of a dead sea creature.

PROCLAMATION: On Election Day it’s okay to have sex in a whale.

Wait, they get to have sex in a whale’s mouth on Swedish election days?

I don't want to judge. I've never been in a whale and really don't know the vibe.

There was a guy who stole actual moon rocks from NASA and what he did with them was put them in his bed so he and his girlfriend could have sex on them. As with whale-sex, I'm not saying I condone the underlying criminal behavior… but I understand.

That is the origin of the song 'how swede it is to be loved by you'.

Saw the whale last week with my family. My daughter said she once went inside with her cousin. Apparently smells awful and has seats and tables since it used to be a cafeteria… Don’t miss if you ever visit Gothenburg…

Does this count as a threesome?

If given the opportunity people will fuck it. Or inside it. Or both.

Ответ для Matt Hope

Truth

I think having sex in a dead whale would make an occasion special.

Who taxidermied it and how long did it take them? Did they like die of chemical inhalation afterwards? What kind of conservation is needed to keep it in shape?

Ответ для Jessica Smith

They did it just for the “krill”of it. Humans are so gross…

So now I only get to have sex once every four years!!! They are dismantling our Swedish cultural heritage piece by piece!🤬🤬🤬😉

why? do they have to vote in there?

Oh, what's wrong with a little fornicatin' in the belly of a whale?

People enjoy having sexual experiences in unusual places, it is exciting. I thought the Swedes were liberal enough to appreciate that fact. Maybe it was just a conservative museum chief that considered it too despicable. allenmeece.com for my good novels.

Ответ для 🔞Neph, Changeling Fucker Supreme

How did they taxidermy the whole thing? As I understand, the late 1800s whalers weren't all that careful about preserving anything but the blubber and baleen.

Ответ для Explorer Rowan

i don't think whalers hunted blue whales at all so it was likely prepared specifically as a museum piece

Yeah, at the end of most election days, I feel like we've all been f'd here in Missouri. The whale should be open all day on Presidential Inauguration Days, too. Memorial Day, Earth Day...

swedish election is the name of the local holiday where they're allowed to fuck in the whale

olololol. WELL... THAT IS ONE PLACE I NEVER THOUGHT TO CHRISTEN.

More news stories like this please. for my sanity

Only in Sweden would sex in a whale only be permitted on election days. (...does anyone know if you have to vote first?)

Ответ для Iona Brand

I'm guessing that your "I voted" sticker is your ticket to the sex whale.

Before the act, it was simply known as “whale.”

This is why we can't have nice things

Ah yes, Moby Dick

Now Swedes have to wait until the election to have sex. They'll be so frustrated if their country has electile dysfunction.

So you're saying theres still a chance

>Only opened on special occasions >such as Swedish Erection Day 🤔

now it’s a sperm whale!

So how many people banged inside the whale and *didn’t* get caught?

Why do they open up the whale for elections? Is there a polling place in there? Are elected officials allowed to have celebratory sex in the whale? Is there some swedish politician omerta that kept @miamulder.bsky.social from letting slip about swedish whale sex candidates?

Ответ для Tom

The Swedish word for election, and the Swedish word for whale is both "val."

Ok but I also want to know HOW they taxidermied a blue whale :0

I remember people passing around purity tests when I was in school and I am certain "sex inside a taxidermied whale" was not on the list.

Ответ для sol

1930’s actually so not a recent thing.

I assume this means it can be rented out for events such as private parties in which we can have sex in the whale

Ответ для Zanne

Needs to be suggested at every museum budget meeting. Do you want an additional archivist? If we could just rent out the whale...

I thought sex in a whale was exclusive to sperm whales. OK sorry, I'll see myself ot.

Wait, they hold elections in the whale's mouth? Do they use it as a voting booth?

Ответ для muxauy

Election (val) and whale (val) is basically the same word but different depending on context so it’s a pun. Valdag as in election day could also be interpreted as whale day.

There's a line. "You wanna join the whale stomach club?"

Val is the Swedish word for election/choice as well as whale.

The fact that a couple decided to have sex inside it is possibly the most unsurprising part of the story
