You can't just introduce the word toadlet to people without warning

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 25 points 4 months ago

Toadlet sounds like the evolved form insult of toad.

"That guy is such a toadlet, gives me the creeps."

So like...they did this on Wednesday on purpose, right my dudes?

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It instantly became a wednesday the moment they published it.

Was a thursday before, and now everyone has to work an extra day. Those toad guys are weird 🙄

They completely missed the opportunity to say a new frog was spotted. My disappointment is imeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Probably theyre just dappling in biology.

[–] notabot@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago

That may be the case, and I don't want to make light of the situation, or cast shade on their headline writing abilities, but I wanted to make a point that there was a better option.

Toads are the marsupials of the amphibian world.

[–] Addv4@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Anyone got the link to the paper?

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 9 points 4 months ago

I think he meant Toadlers. But I could be wrong.

[–] marduk 8 points 4 months ago

Get them to the front lines immediately!

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Weird, I though toads were endemic to the Americas for some reason

(But they’re on every continent except Antarctica so wtf do I know)

That one on the bottom left looking like James Toad asking for a Martini to be shaken (which is the default method)

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 3 points 4 months ago

Default method used to be stirring, some people claim that shaking bruises the gin and ruins the flavor. It tastes like pinesol to me either way.

I also described some frog species, described them "cool as fuck"
