is the joke here that the boy is imagining the girl washing a penis? i’m not sure i understand

No Vondell,

The joke is that peeling cucumbers is pointless because the skin is perfectly edible and the extent to which modern consumerist society wastes food for no apparent reason is one of the greatest absurdities of our time - on top of that, despite this outright waste she’s washing the cucumber anyway which highlights the way that we engage in futile activities under a vein delusion that they’ll improve our quality of life and then just throwing away the things that we put such an effort into making clean and shiny. It’s an analogy that goes far beyond what we eat and into the way we interact with all our resources and the world around us.

Just like all ragetoons, it’s subtle sociopolitical satire made by real intellectuals.
