Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That's not what's actually going on. They're toads.

Edit:

They’re being toad by the snake.

"this stool is kinda odd, but whatever" - toad

May his passage cleanse the front lawn; may he keep the world for His toads.

Lisan al gaib!

Why do they do this? Does it turn them on?

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You’ve got that backwards. They’re turned on, and grabbing everything in sight.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

Ah that makes sense

I like the way your mind works.

edit: apparently experts agree with you

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just can't think of another reason why a toad woud step on another animal's back. That's how they have sex after all. The female even carries the male around for a while. I think this could be close enough to do the trick for them. Like toads are not deep thinkers. They're definitely not up there to enjoy the scenery. And it's too many of them for it to be an accident. Yeah, I thought this through before commenting 😂

Mating season. These guys will hump a rotten mango.

I'm going to venture a guess: the snake is vegetarian, right?

edit: nope, the toads (this is a 3.5m python btw, so they're pretty large) are poisonous.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Those toads must have a danger kink to hump a snake.
