That's the hardest working "or" I've ever seen.

[-] adj16@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Lmaooo. This got a genuine belly laugh out of me

[-] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 78 points 1 year ago

At first it sounds like a helluva coin toss but in the end you end up with a stiff.

[-] I_Am_Jacks_____@lemmings.world 47 points 1 year ago

I hope you get to choose. One outcome seems better than the other.

[-] Lizardon@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago

I mean, the outcomes are not mutually exclusive.

[-] ProfessorZhu@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Ah this is what happened to that old man in the first clerks movie

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

One of the best movies ever. So New Jersey.

Death by snu snu?

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

"I'm here to give out erections and death... and I'm all out of erections!"

[-] _g_be@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've got just the one. You can borrow it, in pulses

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

So what is it, like 50/50?

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

The question is, is it an exclusive or?

[-] artofcode@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Those are odds I can work with

“the erection is a side effect that everybody who gets stung by this spider will experience along with the pain and discomfort”

🤷‍♀️

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Imagine being a women... Do they get erections as well?

[-] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

What part of "everybody" wasn't clear here?

[-] hark@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

Actually yeah, the clitoris.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

how are masochists not breeding these things!

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

people eat ghost peppers. I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried this.

So... As an American do i have to order these online from Canada if I don't have a script?

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago

No no it's female reproductive rights we limit in this country

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yes, but our insurance won't cover it and calling or visiting a site to a inquire will cost $5500.

[-] Wolf_359@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Tried to kill myself like this once but the spider kept stiffing me.

Dead boner in Aisle 6, in Aisle 6!

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

It'll reopen after "comprehensive cleaning and disinfecting" in about a week... That's pretty quick for rebuilding a burnt down supermarket.

Though in all seriousness, I can't tell if the evacuation was an overreaction or if the decision to reopen after just cleaning and disinfecting is sweeping this under the rug. Seems to me like either they should have just warned customers there was a very venomous spider somewhere on the loose or made sure they caught/killed the spider before reopening. It's like they are treating a spider like covid back when we didn't understand how it transmitted.

Unless they are leaving the "we filled the supermarket with deadly poison to kill it" part out, which then makes the cleaning before reopening make sense.

Women who get bit: Guess I'll die 🤷‍♀️

[-] bigbluealien@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago

"the erection is a side effect that everybody who gets stung by this spider will experience"
From the article, no escape women

[-] TheLobotomist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 year ago

Never heard of clitoris erections? The clitoris is just a tiny penis

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

The penis is just a big clitoris.

[-] victron@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago

I'm not clicking that shit, thank you.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

It's just a Wikipedia link OwO

[-] LexaMaridia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Adding the extra spice with OwO

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I am simply stating the trUwUth

[-] hoodlem@hoodlem.me 10 points 1 year ago

By the time the fire brigade arrived at the store, the spider was nowhere to be seen, local media reported.

The fire brigade. I imagine them busting in. “Nobody move! It’s possible you may get an erection!”

[-] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

What a toss up of extremes

[-] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The spider is described as a small blue diamond and is often accompanied by older men.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Confirmed banana spider.

Obligatory Jibbers Crabst https://youtu.be/ZZ_BtZ-5O60

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

There are way too many species that are called banana spiders. That looks absolutely nothing like the banana spiders we had where I used to live (which were harmless).

[-] hactar42@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

~~cake~~ erection or death

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago
[-] 41ZWJh7Mgg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It’s a W either way

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Delectable tea, or deadly poison?

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I understood that reference.

[-] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Death Boner Live

[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think death or erections are side effects of what the spiders bite actually does
