Here's something you didn't know you needed in your life: teeny tiny pig porn.

Made in the early 20th century, this little gold-painted pig charm hides a tiny erotic photo viewed by peering into the pig's butthole. ⁣⁣

[A thread] These pig charms contain a hidden Stanhope lens -- a one piece microscope used for viewing photos as small as the head of a pin. From the late 1850s, it became trendy to embed them in items like pocket watches or thimbles, often sold as souvenirs with pics of tourist scenery. ⁣
