What's the difference between a redneck maggot and every other maggot?

Redneck maggots have a dicktooth

You don’t?

That’s a weird croissant with eyes.

The croissant that eats you back.

Staring contest, 3, 2, 1, GO!

On the Human skin are living more creatures of these, than existing Humans on Earth. For example, these are running across your face right now without you noticing. All of us have these maskots.

[–] 0nekoneko7@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

This is triggering a phobia in me. I don't want to imagine them creeping on me.

Are these the things I was told are beneficial as a kid?

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

They feed on dead skin cells and prevent infections. Yes, most of them are beneficial, just like those that live inside us. Although naturally there are also harmful ones, although they are usually the exception. This is why don't Panic knowing that bacteria and bugs like these account for several kilos of our weight. Its benefit is noted among others in digestive disorders and other side effects after treatment with antibiotics, which unfortunately also kills them..

it has what scientists call teef

Micrographs are awesome. My favourite is the tapeworm with false colour that looks like a methhead https://i.redd.it/97oiw37koff21.jpg

Also, unfortunately, it reminds me of this heinous thing: https://twitter.com/suzuya_96/status/1501884233656467459?lang=en

I hate you. I hate this. I need bleach.

[–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 1 year ago

Luckily, the text loaded fast, while the image lagged, so I had time to close. Sometimes, having a shitty internet pays off.

Ffs. It’s too late for me but there is still time to delete this.

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Oh no comrade Andrenikous, it has only just begun.

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Can confirm, Xitter is heinous. Seeing no image there. :(

Looks like a goofy Micro Walrus.

[–] 0nekoneko7@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Insects up close creep me out. It's good humans are bigger than insects. I don't want to see human-sized insects.

That’s okay. I didn’t want to go to sleep tonight anyways.

Foot-in-mouth maggot meme template?

[–] maculata@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

“GORSH!!! THEM MAMMALSH ARE SHURE FUNNY LOOKIN’”

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like a scrapped idea for an enemy in The Neverhood.

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Wow, a reference to The Neverhood. Didn't expect that today!

[–] LemmyAtEm2@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
