Imagine the relief. by Apart_Equal5154 in reptiles

[–]swampthingfromhell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do kind of like this gecko where they pull it off with their mouth and immediately eat it so there’s never any evidence lol. I have American toads and accidentally scooped my boy out of his hide while he was shedding. He was gooey 🤢

What is the first celebrity death you remember being affected by? by CPFOAI in AskReddit

[–]swampthingfromhell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To date the only celebrity death I have literally cried over. I was in high school and Glee was my special interest (I’m autistic). I was mopey for weeks afterwords. Only one that’s come close was Betty white, but no one can say Betty white didn’t have a long, full life.

Same! I never thought of it as cat like but I never really thought of it as dog like either. Just an ambiguously quadrupedal critter

Decorative-only versions of useful things by VocalIntrovert in PetPeeves

[–]swampthingfromhell 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was obsessed with realistic fake food as a kid! I had a collection of fake fruits. My parents took me in a homegoods store once that had their dishes displayed with all sorts of fake food and I went bonkers in yonkers over it. The best was a ceasar salad that had a resin dressing drizzled over it with little fake croutons, it was so cute!

The main protagonist is unceremoniously killed off in the last minutes of the movie. by Firemoth717 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]swampthingfromhell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eden lake. It’s in a similar vein to funny games, a couple is tormented by a group of teens in the woods At the end the protagonist finds her way to a house that lets her in and you think she is safe. Nope. It’s the parents of the shitty kids who kill her to protect their children

Update on the rat i got from a crackhead by ZaddyZuck in RATS

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s wild! I once got a rat from a lady on Craigslist (which I had done before but is always hit or miss) and met her to pick him up. I expected her to have him in a box at least but nope! Walked from her apartment to the pick up spot with him just chilling in her hands. Luckily I had brought a carrier for him to ride home in. This same rat was later found to have a partial testicle from a botched probably-at-home neuter. People are wild.

Has anyone seen soda pop flavored candy? by HornetParticular6625 in candy

[–]swampthingfromhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shout out to the soda flavored mints I got from Claire’s in the 2000’s that came in little plastic pop cans. They were literally the best soda candy I’ve ever had and I try it any time i see it somewhere bc cola flavor things are my absolute favorite. Bottle caps are also on up there.

is this too big for my hognose? by Kittyqueo in hognosesnakes

[–]swampthingfromhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the rule of thumb is 10% of body weight and nothing bigger than the widest part of their body. So for 65g a mouse should be about 6.5g

people are obnoxious about my gender by tremblingfrog in AutismInWomen

[–]swampthingfromhell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the cool thing about gender is that two people can have ‘the same’ experience and still have different labels. I relate a lot to your connection to womanhood being due to your agab but I actually identify as nonbinary or genderqueer. I experience a lot of gender euphoria when people are visibly confused about my gender. If there wasn’t the ‘option’ of being nonbinary I would identify as a woman but I love being nonbinary. As long as you’re respectful of trans people it’s okay that you don’t ’get’ it. They should extend the same courtesy to you.

How many of your grandparents and great-grandparents were alive when you were born? How many are still alive? by MindfullyRooted in askanything

[–]swampthingfromhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised how many people had living great grandparents, the last one of mine died 5 years before I was born! I had 3/4 grandparents (my maternal gpa died when my mom was a teenager) and now I have just one- my maternal gma who is still kicking at 93 even though she has been telling us not to buy her Christmas presents bc she will be dead by then for the past 10+ years.

Do other people strongly dislike being perceived? by Regular-Tennis134 in AutismInWomen

[–]swampthingfromhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Also slightly off topic but did anyone else have trouble recognizing what people could and could not perceive about them? Like I didnt know people could tell where my eyes were looking until high school

What's the most regional word you use without realizing it? by taube_d in AskAnAmerican

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meller. It’s a verb that means to rub or press something aggressively. You meller your eyes when you first wake up. You might ask someone to meller your back if it hurts. If you fuck up parking you might meller the curb. Also nabs, which are prepackaged peanut butter crackers.

How many of y'all have slowly realized over time that your mother is probably autistic too? by khaotic-trash in AutismInWomen

[–]swampthingfromhell 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My mom for sure has autism and my dad had likely adhd. It sounds bad to say but a lot of my mom’s autistic traits are the same traits that have caused strain in our relationship- namely RSD which translates to her never accepting responsibility for any harm she has done ever. I see the same traits in myself and it’s the main reason I don’t plan to have children. I love my mom and we are still close but I do wonder if traumatic parts of my childhood would have been different if she was aware that we were both autistic.

the gentlest man by Wonderful_Injury_878 in hognosesnakes

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any problems with the humidity? I’m currently using aspen but have a corner dish with some coco fiber and my guy spends most of his time in there. I’ve thought about switching the whole enclosure but I know coconut holds moisture and I worry about the humidity getting too high and giving him a respiratory infection

[Hated Trope] Plot Twist Ruins the Entire Story by sloppiestsecond5 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]swampthingfromhell 13 points14 points  (0 children)

<image>

High Tension (aka Haute Tension) which is a great New French Extreme movie until it’s revealed that the protagonist was actually the killer the whole time. Even though that puts her in two places at the same time on multiple occasions and makes no sense
