He's going to have to adjust to flying on the opposite side of the air.

[-] Veedem@lemmy.world 45 points 5 days ago

That’s a wonderful stupid reply lol. Up you go.

And taste for tea

Plague Inc. gameplay irl

[-] nialv7@lemmy.world 44 points 5 days ago

This is how some invasive species got their starts.

[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 21 points 5 days ago

We should introduce their natural predator just to be safe

I'd watch Frogs on a Plane.

CANE TOADS ON A PLANE

[-] otacon239@lemmy.world 53 points 5 days ago

I think about this whenever I pick up a spider or similar on my car. I’m transporting them the equivalent of entire planets beyond their perspective. What new world will I bring them to?

[-] oneser@lemmy.zip 31 points 5 days ago

I was hiking recently and saw a massive caterpillar. I took a photo and asked our national biological office if they could ID it cos AI was doing a shit job (as usual).

They identified it and said that it almost definitely arrived as a seed or smaller caterpillar attached to a car and managed to find its way into the forest. They mentioned that they normally return with holidayers in the summer and don't make it through the cold winter's, but this may shift due to climate change. This thing was about 18 cm (7 American toes) long.

Crazy to see how much shit these critters can handle and still survive (for now...).

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 5 days ago

Is that 7 toes lengthwise or side-by-side? And which American toes? Lady liberty, or a normal human adult, or a child? Perhaps a newborn?

Man I hate our measuring system, it’s so complicated.

[-] Burninator05@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Are you a transplant here or something? Those answers are all clearly side-by-side Liberty toes. Real Americans are born with that knowledge.

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 days ago

See I mean that’s what I assume, too, but whomever starts their post with metric is clearly not used to the conversions into freedom units and so one must verify they did they math correctly. In case they are egregiously off the mark.

[-] oneser@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

The small part of the feet also used to measure things. You standardised those, right?

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Nope, nothing standard about toes, lots of genetic variation! ;)

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

uh, american toes are a lot more variable than that

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Imagine being a fish who gets caught by a human, and gets yanked out of his dimension and into an entirely different dimension, almost an opposite world.

Then the alien yanks the hook out of his lip, and throws him into the air...and he lands back in his own dimension, gasping for air.

Or, perhaps the alien takes him away...

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Did you know fish can see through glass the same way we can see in? As long as it’s not curved glass they can see pretty clearly.

[-] EvilEdgelord@sh.itjust.works 28 points 5 days ago

Everyday I scroll through Lemmy, this flies life is about to change again 🙄

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago

Oh shit, we've added another Reddit feature, of people complaining about seeing the same post 100x despite it being upvoted by people who obviously never have! The "everything must only be posted ONCE!!1!!" feature, one of my favorites

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 5 days ago

I’m chronically online most days and I haven’t seen this on Lemmy yet, nor at all for that matter.

I hate when people whine about seeing stuff multiple times; at least this isn’t a depressing news article being shared in 63 different communities so you have to see the same thing dozens and dozens of times and be reminded how shit everything is..

It’s just a fun little picture with no bad vibes at all. I’m ok with seeing that sort of thing repeatedly.

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Haha didn't even think of that. Yeah, you go to /all and it's literally page after page of the same 7 news articles being auto-postec across 32 communities with the same name on different instances. On a platform where this is problem inherently exists, how does one complain about reposts?

[-] aeternum 1 points 4 days ago

no bad vibes, eh? This fly JUST WENT AROUND THE WORLD! /jk

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

wah i have seen this comment before also my nappy is full SOMEONE CHANGE THE INTERNET ALSO ME

[-] Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Maybe spend less time on Lemmy and go out to see the world for yourself instead of being envious of this fly living its best life.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Hey, not all of us can afford to see the world.

I'm so poor, I can't even pay attention (fucking ADHD).

The world’s outside mate. You just use your legs and explore.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

that's not the world outside my window, that's statesia. it doesn't count.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 5 days ago

I've been a Lemmy admin for over 2 years and browse daily. I usually sort by top -> 6 hours but I've never seen this

[-] EvilEdgelord@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Crazy you missed it being one of the top posts and a few different communities the last few days.

[-] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Bruh, how much do you scroll through Lemmy? Because I scroll enough to only see posts from days ago, but I've literally never seen this before.

[-] EvilEdgelord@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Like a few times a day I'm at work and there's a big gap in customers. Also, I only have a girlfriend, a mom and like two friends, so no real social life going at my age, just playing and watching stuff, y'know?

I'm old, bro 😭

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 10 points 5 days ago

Damn health tourists.

[-] Tina@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Nah, what you don’t know is that fly committed some fly crime and saw an opportunity to get tf outta there as fast as possible. London, here I come! Nobody will find me there MWAHAHA

[-] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Some fly is going to land on your screen and say,

"CARL?!?"

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

He buzzin innit?

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Lucky fly. It's still so hot in Houston.

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

He will encounter British Flyes! He will have to learn how to buzz around CRISPS and SCONES now.

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 6 points 5 days ago

Buncha cunts all buzz buzz, croikey

[-] bless@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago

I hope he paid the visa

[-] Chessmasterrex@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago
