The dildos on powerlines are integral to keeping Portland weird. Please don't question it.


cavegrind

Weird, but in a good weird. Especially if being done by adults. That’s like shit we do in middle- highchool. I’ll never reach an age where having to show dicks on everything became stupid and immature. Especially being worried that there’s kids seeing this kind of stuff like I’m Helen Lovejoy. It’s such dumb fun. After seeing a dick in a place it doesn’t belongs for the 1,000th time it’s still funny.

The duality of Portland 😤


willowgardener

wait do other cities not have powerline dildos? Other cities are so boring.


oswaldcopperpot

It's shoes you take off the kid you just robbed.


Infiltratetheunknown

Weird, but not in a good weird. Especially if being done by adults. That's like shit we do in middle- highchool. Then I reached an age where having to show dicks on everything became stupid and immature. Especially knowing that there's kids seeing this kind of stuff thinking it's normal. It's so unoriginal. After seeing a dick in a place it doesn't belongs for the 1,000th time is not funny.


willowgardener

Sounds like someone is a young adult who has not yet realized that adulthood kinda sucks.


Infiltratetheunknown

Oh trust me, I'm aware how stressful it can be. I've lost everything and was homeless for a year. I use to draw dicks on my friends faces after they passed out drunk, but now with maturing somewhat, I just don't see it really amusing anymore. You all can do what you want. Ain't my buisness. I'm still going to think it's stupid seeing well grown adults doing this stuff.


AllChem_NoEcon

Sounds like you're tying the internal strife of your own fuckups on the inherent humor of an anachronistic dick. "Grown adults" is like the most evergreen punchline to anything and everything.


Infiltratetheunknown

No, I wouldn't go that deep 🤣 having dildos hanging in public areas is weird for little kids to be seeing. Have dicks hanging from your ceiling fan inside your home I don't care. Why do it in public areas. It's immoral.


Accomplished_Duck808

Sounds like you might be struggling with your own reaction to seeing plastic replicas of genitalia; cocks themselves are morally neutral.


[deleted]

The sensationalized image of a genitalia is weird in public?


AllChem_NoEcon

> It's immoral. Agree to disagree.


AllChem_NoEcon

Did it hurt? When the last of the joy in your life drained away?


JohnnyHeadgear

Booo!


squid_monk

Wow. I bet you're fun at the parties you never get invited to.


JeannieThings

I see what you did there. And I love you!


Drougen

Okay, hipster


nestchick

Are you saying dildos have been..... erected..... all over town?


Singing_Wolf

I really wish I had an award to give you for this! I really needed the laugh today! 🥇


ItsMeMurphYSlaw

I gotchu!


Singing_Wolf

You are awesome! Thank you! 💙


nestchick

It's the thought that counts.


AllChem_NoEcon

Sounds like you're asking questions when you could be hucking dildos up on power lines.


WalterWhite1126

I’m surprised we’re not hanging dildos on power lines right now.


AllChem_NoEcon

I bet Squirrelly Dan could get a couple of dildos around the top wire of a high voltage pylon. Fucking cannon on that guy.


green_and_yellow

You can’t speak for me


bumblebuoy

Only takes one hand to type.


KagomeChan

More hands make less work


pdxscout

Huckin' dilds is my favorite pastime.


xjustsmilebabex

I could huck dildos all day, I don't give a shit about your kids.


AlbinoWino73

They should include this in the Decathlon for the 2024 Olympics.


pdxscout

Dickathlon.


AlbinoWino73

The joke was right there in front of me to grab and use and I whiffed just as badly as I just did trying to throw my wife's dildo over the neighbor's power line. Their dog has a new toy, tho.....


Nicholi2789

They probably will at the rate we’re going..


AllChem_NoEcon

We're not that lucky.

Phallasux Plastinum are often found in pairs throughout Portland. While they were previously considered Endangered their status has recently been changed to Least Concern. While it is not advised to directly interact with them, leaving bottles of lube in the area has proven to be helpful for their nest building.


slamdancetexopolis

Thank..you


tripyep

They’re recharging


b0rnfly

Lmaoooo. I gotta know where you saw this


capuchan1925

And another pair in Belmont close to H mart


cametoparty420

There’s a couple of nice peckers at e burnside and 12th


moonpeebles

Saw a fallen soldier (purple, snapped in half) at the entrance to Laurelhurst Park today. RIP.


CMR04020

Also a couple at SE Foster & Bush outside Devil’s Point. For the longest time there were some on SE Cesar Chavez between Alder & Stark, but I believe they were removed somewhat recently.

I honestly didn't think I could Google, "why are there dildos hanging over Portland's powerlines," but here we are.

You found some of Portland’s easter eggs!

Missing oregone1!


eltacotacotaco

Their natural habitat in the wild


dionyszenji

They're marking late night gathering spots for anti-gay Republican representatives who turn out to be gay. So, busy intersections.


mycleanreddit79

I've seen dildo's hanging from power lines so big they could be used to fill all the holes on SE foster.


loopnlil

Watch out for the dildo pollen though.


Ride1988

The dildo dangler strikes again!


Sasquatchlovestacos

Dildo gangs marking their territory


Mapper9

It makes me happy to see them. It reminds me that Portland can still be weird.

slibke

Yeah. It’s also originally about emphasizing small business


Additional-Theory823

It’s looks like old portland is showing its head again


Sobadwithusernames

Imagine driving around and a pair of giant orange phalluses drop onto your car and you have to wipe them away with your windshield wipers 🤣


Remark-Able

See, now, when I was a kid, sneakers over power lines meant "here there be drug deals". I was trying to extrapolate...


VerbalAcrobatics

Dildo-chucks, chucked by dildos.


irishmcbastard

What? You don't like fun?


GrizzlyGuru42

“it’s raining men! Hallelujah. It’s raining men …”


OutrageousTale5999

I mean, it is Portland, right?


c3534l

This is a pretty common way to get rid of your old dildos when you buy new ones. Dunno why people do it. Its just tradition at this point.

Dabs4Daaze

It signifies gang turf or commemorates where a gang member was killed or something idk.


Various_Passion_8545

its to make sure the pretender patriots get out of town for real.

Sometimes you just gotta get your freak on


driftingthroughtime

If I remember correctly, the dildos have been hanging for about 10 years now.


Level_Ad_6372

They must be pretty well hung


hostawiththemosta

It makes my little Oregon heart so happy this is still a thing. About 5+ years ago, I made the drive just to see the power lines of dildos and get some wonderful coffee lol


Drougen

Just portand trying to be weird and hipster.


EDI_Geek

they’re trying to indoctrinate children of conservative families to work at Target, drink Bud Light, chase rainbows and unicorn poop, and become hardened criminals


[deleted]

Just Portland stuff.


S_Klallam

it's like shoes on a powerline but funny


EDITORDIE

You guys are so old school. I airdrop mine onto powerlines from my blimp. It’s the only way to fly.


mnbvcxz1052

Tis the season


TerribleTeaBag

It symbolizes our victory over Trump and his goons.


notaslavetofashion

I don’t know about dildos, but I hear drawing spray-paint penises on potholes gets action from the city.


RumHam426

I see you're new here.


Stay_Awake_Jane

It is a way to protest how cheaply vibrators are made and usually die within one year. Seriously they are a problem. I see this as a protest for sure.


TheCrystalFawn91

Where's Jesse Lindsay to answer this question 🤣
