It’s not one animal.

It’s a colony of innumerable tiny creatures, all the same species but specialized into different roles.

I remember reading in the "Toxic Animals of Australia" booklet that I got in cub-scouts way back when that the bite itself is quite mild and that many people don't even know they've been bitten... until you know....

quote:

...victims [are] fully aware of their surroundings but unable to move. Because of the paralysis, they have no way of signaling for help or indicating distress.

But hey... not everything is trying to kill you...



In fact I had a visit from one of these little cherubs a few weeks ago. He was fine until after three days lurking on the ceiling he decided to come down and haunt my socks and jocks draw. Sorry buddy... line crossed. You're evicted to the garden.

My favorite part is all the little creatures in the colony are genetically identical to one another. But they're different animals, and some of them have very different forms. Epigenetics is fun, I'd hazard a guess.

That's terrifying in its own way. Dryer fires from lint accumulation aren't common, but they can happen. It doesn't show the lint filter, but even if that's clear - all of that dried hair is basically tinder if any kind of spark ever makes it back there.

Bicycle trailer



That front wheel is not made for pushing a cart on hiking trails. It's basically just there because bike trailers are a pain in the rear end to move around once they aren't attached to the bike because they're very tongue heavy so you have to move them by the tongue. The really cheap poo poo like Muerte bought* are even more tongue heavy because their wheels are so far back. Predictably, the front wheel broke off before he had made it out of the park.

*: Compare his cheap Walmart poo poo's wheel placement to my "#1 or #2 brand" trailer


This is a trailer that's actually designed for use as a stroller



Disappointed he didn't stick them in his mouth like Baumgartner Restoration. "Spitting Tacks" may mean being verbally hostile, but in the art restoration and upholstery worlds they put a wad of tacks in their mouth and use their tongue to align them so the magnetic hammer can grab them by the head.

Don't feel like looking for Baumgartner Restoration talking about it so here's a different video google pulled up of a rather OSHA practice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCviBqqWAv0

I think Baumgartner said that the saliva rusts the tack a bit and helps the it stay in the stretcher.

Isn’t that one of those super deadly cone snails that basically shoot out like a poison tipped harpoon if it gets near your skin?

lol back at the drug factory, one of the most awful fills I ever worked on outside botulinum was Prialt - synthetic intrathecal Ziconotide (a component of cone snail toxin). They inject it into people's spinal fluid when they're so far gone in pain management therapy for terminal cancer and poo poo that upping opiate dosages is completely out of the question.
The side effects are that it basically gives you schizophrenia, which at the point where you're being injected with Prialt, it's a big ol' "who cares." API always had tons of problems passing bioburden testing, it was a 2cc fill so it was super hard to dial in and the vials always fell down on the way to the capper and made a big puddle on the floor (coincidentally, the same exact problems that botox had), and everyone's demeanor always changed once they were in the room with it for an hour; not just regular filling stress demeanor changes, either. Total out of character personality changes.

I hated being in the same building as that poo poo, no thank you on handling one.

You are the first crack in the sheer face of god. From you it will spread.

Don't forget the tree in Australia that will make you feel like you're on fire if you so much as touch it, and that feeling will reoccur for months or years afterward. I think it may also be lethal, but that may be a mercy in some circumstances.

How is anyone alive in Australia?

When I was diving for NPS, we carried hot water to use to treat envenomations (lionfish, rays, jellies, man’o’wars, etc). The heat would denature the venom, and as long as you didn’t have any stinger/spine bits left in you, it wasn’t the end of the world.

i knew someone that got scalded by the hot water and the swelling hid a small bit of lionfish spine that wasn’t found for like a week :gonk:

That sounds like it’s still a valid treatment for irukandjis at first, but the blue ringed octopus (according to an official New South Wales website) looks like “get to hospital as fast as possible by whatever means, you’ll probably be doing CPR in the meantime”.

If even an Australian government website describes something as “very venomous” I’ll not be going near it, and it can gently caress back off to whatever abyss spawned it.

We literally murdered all the larger predators in north America to near extinction. They're only coming back because we're letting them.

Rattlesnakes hate being around people and black widows live in dark holes so don't stick your hand somewhere you can't see.

And you missed brown recluses which is every tan spider to idiots that don't know any better.

They still have Rattlesnake round ups where they go in empty land and capture every snake they can find then kill them in front of guests in a big pit. There is a reason why in some places rattlesnakes have evolved to stop rattling.
