I honestly did not have eye worms from fly testicles on my apocalyptic bingo.

Anyone else?

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 70 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not sure. For some reason I'm having trouble seeing my bingo card

The spread to bears shows the worm is gaining ground and new hosts in the US.

Since then, it has shown up in at least 11 dogs—in New York

As it has already shown up in NY, we can only guess which wormy brained individual spread it to bears

Damn, RFK is spreading eye worms from bears and J.D. Vance is spreading drug-resistant gonorrhea by fucking couches without protection.

That’s a headline that just gets worse with every word

"Males have to grow these outrageously large testes and the sperm are all rolled up inside," Pitnick explains. "The testes are about 11 percent of the male's total body mass."

Damn

I don’t know the reference, but I can assume the decade it’s from by “nards” 👴

[-] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Lol true, you don't hear anyone say it anymore. Monster Squad 1987

[-] ravhall@discuss.online 2 points 3 weeks ago

Ohhhh, I’ve seen that! And yeah, right decade 😇

[-] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Wow. It's been a long time since I've heard that one.

[-] batmaniam@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Fun fact: fruit Flys are sexed (both in the sense of determining their biological sense, and the act of fornication) by "sex combs". The forearms of the males have little "combs" (absent in females) that the males use to shove a big ol ball of sperm into the female.

You are welcome for this unasked bit of knowledge.

Anyone who paid attention in Biology class. All* animals have gamete-producing gonads.

*there's weird exceptions, like sponges.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago

One more reason for me to absolutely hate fruit flies.

[-] BlackRing@midwest.social 19 points 3 weeks ago

Can we fucking not.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Janice you are glowing!

Thanks! It's my new exotic eye worm.

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 12 points 3 weeks ago

Well, that was horrifying.

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Sure, why not?

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 weeks ago

Ah yes, eye worms, just what my day needed

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

No! No! No!

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like cases are mostly being found on the east coast, and I luckily don't live over there. Still, ew.

Ah, sorry, I searched it with the sound off!
