“Comfortable” is what it looks like

What about a “sploot”?

No legs folded, or just front legs folded while laying on belly

They’re mildly venomous, but not enough to harm humans. And they really go out of their way to not bite when threatened.

As a smoker: I’m not clueless, I just don’t love myself more than the addiction. But I’m getting there, cause breathing “easily” is an under-rated pleasure, when compared to… not breathing that well

It can take time to break the mental stuff before breaking the habit, regardless of understood risk

Now magnets though… I’m at a complete fucking loss

And your contribution is notably worse, as well as toxic, imo. Rehashing the same rhetoric about how forums are similar, no matter where you go online… maybe you spent too much time on reddit yourself, or on forums in general. I hate the statement “go touch grass”, but you’re literally breathing life into it right now.

At least they contributed something I enjoyed reading. Don’t be a jerk

Edit: Nvm, I’m wasting my time. Looking at your comments and you’re obviously just flaming shit like a common troll, or someone who really is a jerk. Don’t care either way. Thanks for contributing your vitriol

You wouldn’t need an ISP to have servers communicate, if push comes to shove. So maybe “effectively off” as we know it, but damn near impossible to stop communication if people need it

I’ll drink to that?

They still have a bit of an “angry brow” and they are technically venomous… but I’ll be damned if they ain’t cute. One of the few snakes that make me feel compelled to snuggle them

Who’s eating whom now!

The first one, I would be wary because of the colors. I’d rather run from a corn snake than be bitten by a copperhead. When I see color like that, I’m taking a step back regardless, before I even have time to look at it’s face/head

The second one… also gonna be wary of any swimming snake. Could be mostly harmless, or it could be a cotton mouth; but I’m not gonna check it out closely enough, before backing up. It still kinda has that “angry brow” too, if I did happen to get close enough

But I see your point either way. You can’t rely on just one factor for identification. The snake in OP’s video isn’t an “actual” threat to me, so it’s easier to observe.

I guess what I’m kinda saying, is that it helps to know a quick distinction between venomous/non-venomous. It might not be perfect for identification, but it helps the knee-jerk fear of thinking “the only good snake is a dead snake”. It at least helped me reduce my own fear, when I moved to a place where venomous snakes are much more probable.

It doesn’t keep me from reacting, but it definitely helps me from over-reacting

Edit: Looking at pics of the spine-bellied sea snake (Hardwicke’s sea snake), that thing definitely seems deceiving! It really doesn’t fit my usual assumptions. I still wouldn’t mess with any swimming snake, unless I absolutely knew what it was… but still, that is different from what I’ve seen

It’s head tells me it’s not venomous. Venomous snakes look angry

It’s probably cause you look punny

A forum should work in tandem with a chatroom in an “ideal” online community, imo. Searchable Q&A with a communication for additional, nuanced interaction. They serve different purposes and can be more powerful when used together, than they could be on their own.

Lemmy does seem to have a bunch of old, crotchety internet nerds on here that like the “old ways” of the webs. But just tell 'em to “go fuck yourself”, if they’re being a dick; and than don’t reply to them again. It’s very freeing. They’re just butt sensitive about linux and foss, cause they were bullied on early internet forums and now act the same way, when expressing their loud-ass opinions. It’s like an unfortunate cycle of abuse that has existed on forums, but don’t let it discourage you from asking anyway… the question might help others

I’m a crotchety old internet nerd… tell me to “go fuck myself”, just for funsies! It’s empowering!

And also… fuck you buddy, get good!

Lol, that’s pretty ingenious. It’s soothing and the animation is kinda boring, especially the beginning. Bravo

Makes me think of System of a Down’s, “Steal This Album”

Yeah, but that’s like… almost a 100 years ago. Completely different. SlashEs

Full-disclosure… I found it online and am about to re-watch it. Loved it as a kid, but does it hold-up? 23 minutes will tell

Edit: It… oddly holds up for me lol. Just as weird as I remembered, but kinda sweet (I truly thought when they sang “Honoli” they were saying “Harmony”. It’s been a long time)

Idk how obscure, but “Puff the Magic Dragon” was definitely a weird one for me. Kinda glad it got lost (probably thrown out, who knows). Almost feels like a fever dream, so much so, that I had to double check the movie even existed

With a little practice, you can do it yourself!

It could be that if vaccines can be attached to a “cup-like protein” and given through the skin, than maybe insulin could too. Just less needle sticks overall
