Oh god... it even has a name and happens a LOT...

I mean yeah it's a giant snake ball but the worst thing a garter can do to you is stink on you as a means of self defense 😄 They're tiny and goofy and among the few potential pet snakes that can be kept without being fed vertebrates.

Well garden spiders also don't pose any harm, but I don't fancy getting into a giant ball of them

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

That's fair enough

Their saliva is mildly toxic so if you're unlucky enough to be allergic you could get an annoying rash from a bite.

I had one draw blood this spring! Granted, it was barely anything, but it still blew my mind it was capable of doing that.

I think there have been many gangbangs of larger scale throughout history.

How long have pics existed? How long is history? And yet I'm thinking there could still be a pic.

I could finally find out how chewing 5 gum supposedly feels

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

My kid used to love going for walks in the woods with me.

One day we came across one of these mating balls, and they had never seen a garter snake before. Despite my assurances that these are literally one of the most harmless things you can find in the woods, my kid has never willingly accompanied me for hikes since.

Humans do this the first weekend of summer vacation at the lake/river.

I've been in one of these before it's nice.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Ok so why are you taking photos and not joining in on the fun?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

I'm going to have nightmares about this.

This isn't where I parked my car.

Danger noodle ball of Nope

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Nah, just a regular noodle ball of nope. Unless they bite you, it gets infected and you choose to ignore it, about the worst a garter snake will do to you is cover whatever part of you is touching them in some stinky piss. Like, leave them alone unless it's absolutely necessary, but garter snakes are pretty chill.

Garter Snakes

Garter snakes were long thought to be non-venomous, but discoveries in the early 2000s revealed that they produce a neurotoxic venom.[12] Despite this, garter snakes cannot seriously injure or kill humans with the small amounts of comparatively mild venom they produce and they also lack an effective means of delivering it. In a few cases, some swelling and bruising has been reported.[13] They do have enlarged teeth in the back of their mouths[14] but their gums are significantly larger and the secretions of their Duvernoy's gland are only mildly toxic.[13][15]

Admit you want to climb into the snake orgy a bit

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Fuck all of this. I hate snakes more than Indiana Jones does. Last week I was taking laundry down to the basement and stepped directly onto a garter snake. Horrifying.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago
[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

The snake was probably horrified as well. At least it was a garter and not a rattler or mamba.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I’m something of a mating ball, myself.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I didnt know Canada was Australia. I always thought Canada was too cold for this shit.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Garter snakes are harmless, they run from you and don't bite.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Even if they did bite it would still be harmless, tiny teeth, low bite force, no venom, would hardly hurt if it managed to hurt at all.

Humans really do do everything so wrong

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.
