@Tofu_Golem@kolektiva.social penises have been arohnd at least 425 million years so the general concept of an insertive reproductory male organ is older than geoducks. But the joke is that they resemble the penis of our species (allegedly), which are a couple orders of mag younger. Unless people are implying that a geoduck looks like a fossil ostracod's penis, I personally see even less resemblance there! https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2024-08-17/penis-evolution-fossils-biology-ostracod-harvestman-reproduction/104097772
