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.

Jesus Christ, why?

The forbidden ramen.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 34 points 6 days ago

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

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.

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

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days 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 5 days ago (1 children)

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

Your username is almost relevant though

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

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

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 10 points 5 days ago

Nature is so beautiful.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 6 days ago

Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey!

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

How nice of those seagulls

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Go fly a kite

Grant us eyes

I didn't know tapeworms came out

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 25 points 6 days 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 6 days ago (1 children)

I really regret commenting on this post

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 7 points 5 days 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 4 days 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.
