Would make a good horcrux.

[–]coffee_first 8 points9 points ago

I imagine it doubles as a chew toy for the baby

[–]JohnMcGurk -1 points0 points ago

I felt oh so terrible and dirty for upvoting that.

[–]Ijustcametosaygerbye 3 points4 points ago

I ate my placenta in pill form

[–]9Freeski 0 points1 point ago

Not that I'm judging... But can I ask why?

[–]StuporCollider 1 point2 points ago

Sudden hormonal shift after birth. Postpartum depression, pain, the whole nine. The hormones in the placenta help.

It's also a massive source of iron and other nutrients which the mother's body used up making a child.

[–]teeohdeedee123 9 points10 points ago

Still a step above eating them.

[–]SBecker30[S] 9 points10 points ago

You're right. I'd rather cuddle with my wife's afterbirth than eat it. It makes a lot of sense!

[–]teeohdeedee123 10 points11 points ago

I really want it to be part of some elaborate prank where at the end, a horrified 16-year-old finds out that their cherished childhood toy came from the same uterus they did.

[–]dentedcan 10 points11 points ago

Explains why the dog keeps running off with it.

[–]StuporCollider 5 points6 points ago

Good source of iron and other nutrients, and helps even out the postpartum hormone shift.

As someone who's held a placenta, which up close looks like a brain that's been tenderized and crammed into a scrotum, I would not personally chow down on one. But I would also have zero problem with someone else eating one.

[–]Dr_Scooops 4 points5 points ago

A family friend of mine had the placenta turned into pills that they took at the wedding.. never seen anything like this before though

[–]zablockhead -1 points0 points ago

Wow. That is really, really fucked up.

[–]FETAL-FEAST-FUNTIME -3 points-2 points ago

Fuck off, judgmental asshole.

[–]AlphaWings 1 point2 points ago

Relevant username.

[–]CopperAlbatross 2 points3 points ago

I wonder what Teddy Roosevelt would think of this version of his namesake.

[–]KERUWA 0 points1 point ago

He'd probably eat it. Then dig up his own placenta and eat that shit too. Then rampage around. Nothing stops him. Nothing.

[–]StuporCollider 0 points1 point ago

He would shoot it. That was Teddy Roosevelt's fallback position on most problems.

[–]nativebob 2 points3 points ago

Soon to be offered through Etsy for the low price of $109.99

[–]kindofabigdyl 3 points4 points ago

Wtf worthy, indeed.

[–]onlynameavailable 2 points3 points ago

Why? Just, why?

[–]zakk_atkk 1 point2 points ago

Why does that teddy bear make me so hungry?

[–]RandomPratt 1 point2 points ago

Pedobear is really getting in early these days.

[–]Cheffinator -1 points0 points ago

I think this is the first time a post on Reddit has made me pull a face of disgust.

Who even does this?

[–]twasthenightofbacon 0 points1 point ago

You obviously havent seen r/spacedicks then.

[–]crustyloaf 0 points1 point ago

Would bid if on eBay

[–]kitedown 0 points1 point ago

Oh the smell. I'm surprised there aren't buzzards lurking around her home. That has got to smell nasty.

[–]Not_Invited 0 points1 point ago

Probably why it's in a sealed glass tube, apparently.

[–]somestrangewashers 0 points1 point ago

It's a gummy bear for Frankenstein!

[–]jings12 0 points1 point ago

After reading that description, I don't know why I clicked on that image and expected to see something different.

[–]xxCLJ 0 points1 point ago

I'll treasure it forever.

[–]exoticempress 0 points1 point ago

It looks creepy and disgusting as hell!

[–]heodieat 1 point2 points ago

I had a gym teacher who said that you weren't a man until you ate your baby's placenta. He was also my football coach, if that helps explain things.

[–]tiredandjaded 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who thinks it is kinda cute? Not the placenta part. But the bear. He's cute.

That said, I was almost convinced to eat my placenta. But I got the heebie jeebies and backed out.

[–]AlienHook -1 points0 points ago

eat it??? now that's /r/WTF worthy

[–]VulcanKingOFire -1 points0 points ago

So weird...and creepy

[–]KBenC -3 points-2 points ago

Gross!!! Same with all you weirdos eating it!!! WTF is wrong with you god damn hippies!?!?!?!

[–]Super_Sieg 0 points1 point ago

My grandmother made one after my mom was born. I was going through all the old stuff in her house last year and happened upon it. I was playing with having a good time just like a kid again. Then my grandma came up and told me what it was. I gently put it down then I ran to the bathroom and threw up. I thought it smelled funny.
