Is there a kym page that has both those variants?

They want to always be wet, and dry out really quickly. I'm sure to a snail it would feel relieving to have its most exposed area covered as often or as best as possible.

Don't ascribe human ideals and existence to them.

So don't feel bad for the head shitting snail.

Just mollusk things. At least cephalopods tend to poop out of the back of their mantle. Sea slugs have gills ringing their anuses so they're always breathing their own farts.

Wait until you learn about sea stars...

Typical Applebee's experience

If I suddenly turned into a snail, I don't care if you'd still love me. I would not be able to love myself.

"And I don't even have teeth, I have a "radula" - whatever the fuck that is. Intelligent design my ass - like I even had an ass, which I don't!"

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you ever get a chance to get up close and personal to a Humboldt squid radula you'll rethink that stance.

Something tells me I would be too busy shitting my wetsuit to do much thinking lol.

At least they have an anus. Anemones just have to vomit out their waste
