the one time I'm glad my internet is slow enough to read comments before any picture loads

Just in case you did bail before it loaded, it is a painting, not a photo, and it is unhinged but not gross. Per se.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

This is the most ominous usage of per se I have ever seen.

This is also how I feed the birds. I am banned from the park.

Go fly a kite

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

This is how I got rid of mine but it was thanks to mice, not birds in my case. I felt like Cinderella!

I didn't know tapeworms came out

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They're named after the tape measure and if those birds let go its the coming back in you've got to worry about.

I really regret commenting on this post

A reply in your inbox is just like a tapewormmeasure, it keeps you coming back to the post.

Older people around here tell stories of homemade treatments where the person would be fasting for hours while sat on a chair with a hole, with a bucket of milk or white wine. According to them, this would make the tapeworm get out (very slowly) into the bucket.

they do if they get exposed to water, where they release the eggs, or it gets long enough to exit the bumhole.

Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey!
