Very funy, i have one of them. It represents the fertility of the soil.

Defecates is a bad word for that...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, defecating is exactly what it does. It’s not a euphemism. It is literally a pooping log!

[–] AI_toothbrush 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the log it self is also a represenation of defecation. A similar use of the word log in english also exists.

I think I willfully didn’t make that connection. I’m well aware of the English use of log for poop but I guess I hoped there was some other explanation and didn’t want to believe that it was a basically a pooping piece of poop

CRANK THAT LOG

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes. And you have to beat it until it starts shitting

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Time to sing "Caga tió" and beat a log until it gives us sweet treats...

Isn't it the same for Christ Child? Or do other Germans in the south get their presents on First day of Christmas? At least I didn't.
