So this is why they wait until a car is 20 feet away to tty and cross the road.

A bit unrelated: I want to send a friend who is tech illiterate a playlist. She has no subscription on any plateforme. Short of sending her a CD or a USB key, what would be the best way to send her a playlist?

This is kind of weird but sentimental: you can buy a iPod shuffle (or whatever) on ebay for cheap and put the songs on there. My husband resells stuff, and he sells them all the time. Granted, she would need iTunes to manage it, but that's free and hopefully user-fiendly? Or you could just give her the shuffle, and she never has to plug it into the computer, just enjoy the music and charge it!

Shellbeach ,

This is an awesome idea! Or any basic music players would do actually. I was so stuck on softwares I didn't think of those, thank you!

You could try to find the songs on youtube and put them in a playlist there, that should be easy to share.
Or better yet, selfhost them with navidrome and use their experimental media share, or just make her an account on it.

Shellbeach ,

Haven't heard of navidrome. I'll check it out, thanks!

i thought you were presenting your weird ear wax at first.

I can do that, too. One time I got my ears irrigated cause I had a wax buildup, and I swear the piece that came out looked like Africa. I could hear so much better that day.

He's here, he's weird, I'm uncomfortable.

So I guess the marsupial pouch is really like an external womb, because that would be a fetus of any other mammal. Nature is crazy.

Yes, that’s it! They climb in there, swallow the nipple and continue to “bake in the oven.”

antlion ,

And they probably have a nice proper fourth trimester too.

Sugar Gliders are tiny, they look similar in size to larva last time I saw them

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

(not mine this is just a picture from online. I would never recommend doing this, they likely killed it because they navigate with limited senses to travel to the nipple)

Willy ,

So is it just like full of shit when they are coming out?

ickplant OP Mod ,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, that’s an excellent question. It doesn’t sound like the cleanest operation.

feedum_sneedson ,

Fuck knows how that evolved.

Plantfoodclock ,

For anyone else who had no idea how marsupial fetus-babies climbed from vagina to pouch: link

it looks like a fetal tortellini

ickplant OP Mod ,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

Forbidden tortellini

antlion ,

Like super forbidden or just frowned upon? Asking for a friend.

ickplant OP Mod ,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

Super duper forbidden.

variants ,

Which makes it more delicious

TriPolarBearz ,

So... A fetallini?

aibler , in TIL newborn opossums are the size of a dime

Kangaroos as well! They climb up to the pouch to continue growing in there.

11-13 days after mating. That's some real time baby feedback.

Are you OK, OP? If nothing else, I run across your posts and comments most every day and appreciate them.

Thank you for being sweet and checking in! I assure you I’m fine, I just love weird memes. And you are one quality human being.

clay_pidgin ,

I'm just an Opossum in an Egger suit, like so many lemmings seem to be!

Eheran , in Thank your local opossum

*poisonous snakes

bitfucker ,

As far as I understand it, the term venomous implies that the dangerous substance is being used by actively injected/targeted towards danger or prey. So I think venomous fits here as I sure as hell don't want anything that can actively point a dangerous substance towards myself near me.

Eheran ,

It was a joke, since usually people get it the wrong way. TO however was perfectly correct, hence I tried to be funny
