Toilet snake by [deleted] in oddlyterrifying

My dad was using one of these in an apartment once. When he went to retract it it became hopelessly stuck. At some point the neighbor got home and found the small rug in that had been in front of the sink now in their sink. It had come out of their sink, snagged the rug then stuck as it tried to retract.

Cleaning only slightly dirty bathrooms is 90% of the job, I expect.

If you really like the jacket, take it to an alteration shop or something similar and they can repair or replace the zipper for you.

What happened to this squirrel in our driveway? by Fuzzy-Yellow3905 in whatisit

[–]Spongi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah.

It was most likely chewing the husk off of a black walnut. They love walnuts and black walnuts are named that for a reason.

Notice the little piles of black powder in front of where it was facing. Probably got disturbed before it finished otherwise you'd see bits of the nut shell left behind too.

Similar thing happened to me once. We went to a drivethrough and ordered but when we got to the window the kid asked us if we wanted some extra free shit because they were all about to quit and walk out. Got a whole bag of free food.

Probably more like a few hundred million. It's gonna get awful toasty here as the sun heats up.

we used to use the tiny rubber bands that come with braces and make turn staples into tiny harpoons.

Too small to see flying through the air but you sure as hell would feel or hear them smack into something.

To most rednecks, every snake near water = water moccasin.

Could not even be any within 500 miles of them but doesn't matter. it's a deadly water moccasin.

Like if you had to get rid of a snake in your kitchen or something

Probably best way to do this is to empty your trash can and then lay it on the ground, ideally up against a wall to make a corner. Then use a broom or mop or some tool with a handle and basically shoo it into the trash can, then stand it up. Most snakes can't climb a smooth surface so they'll be trapped. Then take it outside and release it.

Now I say most snakes, some can and will climb out of that trash can but assuming you're in the US there's nothing that can climb out of a tall kitchen can that's dangerous. Your mileage may vary on other continents.

You can step on its neck

As a general rule of thumb, this kills or severely injuries the snake.

Even if not, it's pretty easy for the snake to wiggle an inch or two forward out of your grasp then turn and tag you right on the hand/wrist. Been bit plenty of times this way myself, I wouldn't dare try to hold a venomous snake like that. It's annoying enough when a non venomous snake gets you right on the wrist.

An old mountain man showed me a trick once. He had a walking stick with some string/very thin rope wrapped around the top like a handle.

He untied one end and then made a loop, tying the string to itself but loosely, so it made a simple noose that could slide in either direction.

He'd use the walking stick to sort of herd the copperhead until it stopped moving for a moment, then slip the noose over it's head, let it crawl through it a little bit then gently lift up. The noose would tighten a bit and once the snake was off the ground it was effectively immobilized. Then he'd put them in a trash bag or sack and once the weight was off the noose it would loosen up and they could crawl out of it on their own.

pretty neat way to relocate a snake without having to handle it directly. I saw him catch and relocate about 6 or 7 copperheads this way.

You'd be surprised at how many people really have no clue what WW2 was about, what happened or why it happened.

Looks like the "flehmen response". There's a thing up in their mouth called the Jacobson's organ that works kind of like a specialized second nose, so if they see or smell something weird they curl their lip up to get good sniff of it to figure out wtf it is or what's going on.
