@Calcharger I have long favored either sawing off the peninsula (ala Bugs Bunny), or at least a wall to keep Florida from contaminating the US...

Remember that Reddit story about the kid that got dared to eat a slug by his friends?

Pretty sure that's what he got that ruined his life.

@Calcharger it's an acquired taste.

Pretty sure escargot is with tiny snails…. Not snails the size of a school bus.

They are THAT BIG? Get the fuck outta here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They get to ~8" long, so they're only as big as a very, very small bus.

That's a very small bus

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
