Probably people who live near the natural habitat of the Sonoran Desert toad.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

true. these toads are known to secrete a toxin called bufotenin which can lead to hallucinations and even death.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There’s 5-MeO-DMT in them there toads, as well.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

forgot about the DMT

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

which can lead to hallucinations and even death.

In that order? Or....?

[–] Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Those post-mortem hallucinations are crazy, yo.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Then explain why when I "buf" a bottle of wine, I stick it in my ass then smarty-pants!

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

because you're high.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I mean, these don't seem all that weird, especially since this is the kinda thing people smalltalk about. Honestly as long as they know how to vet what they are reading, they can learn alot.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For toads in cold climates, they do. Not counting rare exceptions, all 'cold-blooded' animals have to hibernate or go into warm places (like some spiders come indoors in autumn) to survive through the winter.

If you haven’t boofed toad, you haven’t lived.

Now get off my Lemmiwinks fan club site.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Please don't.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

ive kissed one of my toads. potato.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I do wonder if this isn't where the whole "kiss a toad and he turns to a prince" thing comes from, someone kissing a psychedelic toad and then just hallucinating the rest?

I fear I contributed to this as I woke up to a frog on my pillow and my idiot black cat staring off into nothingness for 30 minutes.

I've done enough drugs to know he's high af but needed to check!

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

how'd the frog get there

wait

your cat licked a frog

shit

that's bad

send me a picture of the frog and I'll do a quick diagnosis. you might want to bring him into the vet if the effects continue for multiple days. if he's having trouble jumping, drinking, walking, or going to the litterbox, then you want to watch him closely. also don't feed him much.

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

you're typing like someone on drugs.... op, did you lick a toad?

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I kissed one

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Haha, bless you for being concerned but this was months ago. He got back out there killing things less than an hour later so must have only had a half lick.

Thanks for caring, don't change

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Suck a toad, then do some cow tipping.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

Hey Lando, everybody's talking about how you trashed the Juke Box. Classic cool. We're gonna do some toad, you in?

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago
[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

NPR has this wonderful story about a dog who loved to suck on toads. Like, crying laughing.

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where do toads go during the day? Toad work? /j

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

typically they burrow themselves in leaf litter, dirt, hay, or a bed of pebbles. most toads are nocturnal, so you won't see them much during the day.

[–] dontsayaword@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do people not know about toad licking anymore?
