Jesus Christ, why?

The forbidden ramen.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

This is also how I feed the birds. I am banned from the park.

the one time I'm glad my internet is slow enough to read comments before any picture loads

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Just in case you did bail before it loaded, it is a painting, not a photo, and it is unhinged but not gross. Per se.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is the most ominous usage of per se I have ever seen.

This is how I got rid of mine but it was thanks to mice, not birds in my case. I felt like Cinderella!

Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey!

[–] pomegranatefern@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

On the one hand, perhaps this is my own fault for browsing all while eating spaghetti. On the other hand, what were the odds.

You could add some tomatoes, make it eat itself, and have it finish its job on the whole 'verse.

I didn't know tapeworms came out

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They're named after the tape measure and if those birds let go its the coming back in you've got to worry about.

[–] ascend@lemmy.radio 31 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I really regret commenting on this post

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 8 points 3 weeks ago

A reply in your inbox is just like a tapewormmeasure, it keeps you coming back to the post.

Older people around here tell stories of homemade treatments where the person would be fasting for hours while sat on a chair with a hole, with a bucket of milk or white wine below. According to them, this would make the tapeworm get out (very slowly) into the bucket.

Sorry, babe, I just made plans for the weekend.

[–] morto@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Hope you made plans for two

they do if they get exposed to water, where they release the eggs, or it gets long enough to exit the bumhole.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

Nature is so beautiful.

Go fly a kite

[–] Kellenved@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

How nice of those seagulls

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

What's the opposite of "not all heros wear capes"? Cus that's what you are.

You're like the villain no one deserved or something.
