I know what you mean, Vern.
This sounds like the type of thing that would bring physical pain and involuntary reactions
I like my soups like I like my men, big around as a can.
Susan drew that and Susan’s pronouns are hoof/hooves’.
I’m giggling a bit inside because I have an acquaintance that took up falconry in his late 40s and not going to lie, I’m a bit jealous because it is apparently a bit of a costly and time consuming hobby that’s just not an option for me.
Better hope there were no cameras or else urine trouble.
Eggs are so hard to find and so expensive where I live that we’ve started substituting wegovy for eggs in our recipes.
Press D for them somersaults.
What I really need in my life right now is shiny, metallic, holographic rounded star-shaped stickers with perhaps slightly more humorous and/or pragmatic text written on them.
Honey, I live for this. Boo, bitch, boo.
I must confess, I still believe.
It’s 2025 and there are still way too many people who utterly refuse to understand that heterosexuality is a choice. Just kidding.
Frogs™, it’s what’s for dinner.
I’m disappointed to hear that that about Josh’s Frogs. I’m a fan of the company overall and had great experience with them, but I have never bought live food or live animals from them. So, I’m a little surprised to hear that they’re shipping roaches and crickets this way. Otherwise, they’re my go to for a lot of other hobby related stuff, so I hope they have made some improvements on that front.
For clarity, I imagine that the species of roach you ordered were likely something like dubias.
For anybody that might see this, most of the roach species used as feeders (or even kept as “pets”) are not associated with diseases in humans and would be highly unlikely to become an infestation issue in most domestic situations outside of fully tropical climates (and even then it would be unlikely). These are critters that need stable, warm temperatures and fairly high humidity, as well as appropriate food sources and surprisingly clean environments just to keep them alive in cultivation. Your home or the post office (in North America) is unlikely to be conducive.
Of all the critters that people feed live “bugs” (i.e “bugs”) to, snakes are one of the least likely.
Food items like live crickets are usually fed to animals like lizards (probably most common example), frogs and other amphibians, fish, birds, predatory invertebrates (like spiders and scorpions), etc.
In the case of pinhead crickets, those are usually purchased (in large quantities) by people breeding insect eating species since the young are too small for anything larger than the youngest and tiniest food items or for people with a large collection of animals like poison dart frogs that need very small, fairly fragile food items.
As for the debate of local pick-up versus online orders, there are pros and cons to each, and different people have different situations and needs. At the end of the day, in my part of the world, pretty much all the places I’d go to pick up crickets locally are just getting them shipped in from large scale cricket breeders anyway, so if you need a bulk order of 1000+, it’s likely cheaper and easier just to order them online and have them shipped. Also important to note, these aren’t just random crickets someone collected in their back yard, these are a specific cultivated species that’s been grown in relatively sanitary conditions so that they aren’t carrying harmful parasites and disease or covered in dangerous pesticides and chemicals.
If you like Ze Frank, there’s another comedy channel I like that is a very different and distinct thing, but sort of scratches that same itch for me. It’s called Homemade Ecosystems. Sort of a silly and irreverent comedy sketch filled with obligatory immature humor but also genuinely informative and geared towards cultivated invertebrates pets.
Who cares, at least eggs are finally affordable. Right? They’re affordable? Cheaper at least? Right, right?
he should fix that nasty hair and then he might be presentable
It’s gay pride for bears. Bears traditionally being older, stockier/larger, and usually hairier than main stream depictions of gay men and male models, but it’s actually pretty inclusive and more about male body positivity, brotherhood, and acceptance than fitting any actual physical stereotype.
