She seems to have a basic understanding of its physical properties, though it wouldn’t surprise me to find she saw a picture and cut the search short rather than reading up on its function.
Though maybe I’m not giving her enough credit, and the picture was just self-explanatory.

It would amaze me if one could google strap on without seeing one in action. In my experience, google’s strongest filters do not filter all that much.

If she did an image search yeah she likely saw use, actual or implicit use being debatable. If she did a video search she might have seen use, but that’s a toss up. A straight web search would plausibly have just landed her on Wikipedia.
paradoxius
Safe search.
Wyvern
Not only is there a Wikipedia page, there’s a disambiguation page to make sure you get the strap-on you want! Why, why, did I have to check?
That’s what happens when you search for something NSFW with safe-search on, you end up with a weird enough example of the whatever that the filters aren’t quite able to auto-flag it.
Fun fact, if you google what a “straop-on” is, you find not some kind of sparkly rubber man dangle on a belt, but three pictures of cameras with floral-patterned straps, two profile pictures, some asian themed charms of some kind, four math looking things, and a minivan.
Fun fact: Google’s search results themselves are a form of rose-colored glasses. Google tracks your previous searches, and possibly surfing history via its analytics & ad services used on most web sites, then tailors your search results to what it thinks will match your interests.

Hence why you have to sign-off of google and disable cookies, if you want a not-made-to-order search.
Then you get the average of everybody’s rose-colored glasses!
I must admit, despite my ability to sing probably fifty Piaf songs on hearing no more than their titles, that I don’t get it. But then my knowledge of Inception is inexistent.
I googled twilight themed sparkly strap-on and I got MLP stuff instead.
JustCheetoDust
I want to say that’s surprising, but I would just be lying.

It really pisses me off that I’m just jaded enough not to be completely surprised and appalled by this news.

Good thing there’s no ponies with “rubber” in their name, I guess.
… there aren’t, right?
Lanval
This made me imagine one called Sparkle-Glue and other various gory fates for horses. I realized after a couple seconds that Rubber is not one of those.
Deanatay
There are now, dammit! Look what you’ve done!!

You comment is what you get when you google it now — or at least when I do. 😉
Kryss LaBryn
Having just watched several MLP episodes in a row with my kids, this comment was ridiculously hilarious. Also I can see exactly why you got MLP. XD
Also I need to go make sure safe search is on on the kids’ computers…
I guess that she likes to have all of her childhood things around her. I mean, she brought all of her stuffed animals with her, so why not her favorite DVDs?
I have a bunch of movies I’ve bought and haven’t watched yet. When they’re available at the grocery store for like 5 bucks, it’s hard to resist. Then you just kinda forget you have them.
I can relate.  I used to work for a company that packages a lot of the stuff you find in the 2/$10 bin at Wally-World, and they let us take some of it home.  I haven’t worked there in over five years, and there’s a lot of this stuff I still haven’t looked at.

But this does verify she knows what a “strap-on” is now.

The question is…did she get so embarrassed she immediately closed the browser? Or look more? Or even…order one?
Jen Aside
But she at least found the SPARKLY ones!

I doubt it occurred to Joyce to flip that to off.

You also forgot: The Internet, the gateway to a dead childhood.

So she finally found out what a straop-on is… YAY! 😀

I got buckets of lesbian porn when I Googled “straop-on”. Apparently it is a common typo. If you’ll excuse me I’ll be in my bunk…

Next thing you know, Joyce’ll become a fan of Edith Piaf. Then of Inception.

I must admit, despite my ability to sing probably fifty Piaf songs on hearing no more than their titles, that I don’t get it. But then my knowledge of Inception is inexistent.

Alors, je sens en moi, mon coeur qui bat…

Edith Piaf music is a major motif in Inception, in more ways than one.

Who the bloody Hell Bedazzles a strap-on? Why?
Aizat
There are sick people in this world?
Geminia999
Sadists? Plus, sparkles come in impossible to remove variety as well.
Roborat
If you are going to bedazzle a strap-on, I hope to hell that you use the impossible to remove sparklies.
Jen Aside
Must be a vampire dongle.

For the last time, Vampires do not sparkle!

They do if they rock the strap-on.

I have seen transparent ones with metalflake in the resin.

To make it priiiiteee!!!

Why ask who bedazzles a strap-on?  That’s already covered under Rule 34.
Geminia999
So she rented them, when three or four, and hasn’t watched it in a few years, and brought then to college with her? I guess she’s a collector?
Sir Robin
Maybe they are REALLY over due
Aizat
Thank goodness that the video store was closed….right?
Jordan
I guess that she likes to have all of her childhood things around her. I mean, she brought all of her stuffed animals with her, so why not her favorite DVDs?
Lou
I’d bet that she bought it just recently just to show her.
Sean
My brother got a set of GI Joe cartoons for Christmas a couple years ago.
I watched one a few days later.
Oh, man. Talk about 2D characterization and plot.
It’s like Mattel purposely tried to repel adults so they could sell the stuff to kids without parents reacting until it was too late.
astraea
She probably finds them comforting. I brought my copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone to college with me.
Aizat
Heck, I brought my copy of Mazinkaizer to college.
Roborat
Plus the later volumes in the series also make handy weapons.

Wait, I’m supposed to return videos after renting them? Gosh darn it, they’re gonna be so cheesed at me.

She did it off-panel?
Damn you Willis!!!

That could have resulted in the best “Joyce Reaction Face” ever. We are so deprived.
(First time I typed that it came out “We are so depraved”. Not what I meant to say, but still an accurate statement)
Wizard
It’s on account of we’re deprived that we’re depraved!

So take us to a headshrinker.

I don’t know if they can help though.

Time to see how thoroughly the nostalgia goggles will be ripped off.

This will either be a poor letdown or a spectacular letdown… I’m hoping for “spectacular.”
Willis, how the hell do you make every single page of this comic a cliffhanger?
Plasma Mongoose
When I was really young, I thought shows like Mr Magoo were amusing, nowadays they’re just bleugh!
Aizat
I never did find the appeal of Mr. Magoo. It’s fun for like one short…but that’s just it.
Swerve
Mr. Magoo? That guy’s great! He sounds just like Tracks! 😉
