Move over, Penn State men’s basketball — Padma Lakshmi has become the latest public figure to begin a new era on Twitter, discovering the very wide world of goatse.


Earlier this week, Lakshmi took a break from being the hot girl Anthony Bourdain to pose a *very* uncharacteristically NSFW inquiry to the more than 813,000 Twitter followers — why is this watermelon spreading its hole?



“What the phuck is this? Anybody?” Lakshmi quote tweeted a post from gourmet Twitter shitposter, @fuckedupfood depicting a watermelon appearing to grab a hole with hot dog fingers, a Tommy Lee-esque dick and balls made of gourds emerging from the background.


Fortunately for Lakshmi, it seems several fine Twitter users came to the rescue, offering maybe a little too much insight into what, the hell, exactly is going on here.




Alongside newly-minted proletariat king/notable wig denier Elija Wood cryptically referencing its origins, chef Jon Kung implored Lakshmi to turn back (for the sake of her eyes), while drag star Peppermint asked the beloved host to drop her “OnlyFoods” account. 



After all, who doesn’t love spreading valuable information! And … never mind.
