Can't be too careful. It could've been a Republican. You can usually tell by the bright red hat and aura of stupidity and racism. They also claim they don't step on snakes but but they absolutely do. In fact, that species in particular is very much into that.

Dem vs GOP is right wing infighting.

The bright red head marking tells other humans that Republicans are toxic and not good for eating!

They intentionally expose themselves to water and air pollution to make themselves more toxic to eat

The exaggerated eye~~brows~~ lashes on the one snake (but not the other) to ensure we know that one of them's a lady makes me wonder if the artist woulda put some big ole snitties on her if they'd drawn the rest of the body.

how many snits would there even be?

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The way I see it snakes have approximately half as many holes as mammal ladies, since the have no ears and a multipurpose cloaca. So by my calculations, if you round up a bit, and carry the 5, then snakes got 1 and some change snitties.

It is usually related to the number of offspring in a single birth. So between 1 and 150 according to the laziest Google search I ever did.

big ole snitties

When the comment is funnier than the post

Ah, the white variant. Very dangerous if left unchecked...

Your daily reminder that rattlesnakes are secondary pollinators. They eat rodents full of seeds and their digestive acids don't ruin the germination potential. It's acid scarification and a wider range for edible plants. Every spaghetti is valuable.

I ask my science friend before I kill insects in the garden. I was given free range to kill all the stupid spotted lanternflies!

They're already back this year. I'm sad.

They're jumpy little bastards! I'm trying!

[–] spinne@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago
