For me:

  • Monkeys and apes: they look too much like humans and expose many terrible traits of humans.

  • Greyhounds: their thin long body shape look weird to me.

Airedale Terrier. I tried to fuck one during a psychotic episode.

I’m not a huge fan of dogs in general. They’re capable of unsettling amounts of violence and you have no idea if/how they’ve been trained.

  • leeches. i watched some movie as a kid and leeches dangling over the heroes after they crossed some water scared me good.

  • those beach jelly fishes. nope. i get why they are there and i'd prefer to give them their space.

  • anything with those scaly shiny black and yellow hornet danger colors.

Beaches jellyfishes remind me of Lurker zurg units in StarCraft. My understanding is that jellyfishes tentacles will still shoot their barbs long after the main part has died.

Birds in general give me the creeps.

I loved spiders, except for brown recluses. Not because they're venomous, but because of the way they look, like those old tan M&Ms but with a slick sheen.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I don't like dogs (except Huskies), because they often bark so sudden and loud. It seems they only have one volume setting for barking. I mean, they are cute and all, but one day they're gonna give me a heart attack.

My friend's wife taught their dog the cutest trick.

"[Dog], speak!" (WOOF)

"[Dog]....whisper!" (...woof..)

Lamprey, I am not really a sucker for them

Ducks and dolphins are the serial rapists of the animal kingdom.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

and beavers, those ones also rape young penguins

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

True. From "aww" to "nope" as soon as learning the truths about dolphins.

Mice. Often times they're branded as rodents and for a reason, because they tend to carry disease on them and aren't around your home just to be cute either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Pet mice are supposed to be clean, but I am still nervous with them. Especially those with red eyes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

The still poop and pee constantly but its clean I guess?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

Uh... what?

They're not rodents because they carry diseases. They're rodents because they're from the order "Rodentia".

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

Often times they’re branded as rodents

But... I mean... they are?

Squirrels. Cute as hell in the wild, not so much in my attic. They are tiny little destructive machines.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Their PR team is doing great work

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

As a fellow Jay who has also had to deal with Squirrels in the attic, I wholeheartedly concur. Squirrels - what a bunch of bastards.

Sloths and praying mantis' can fuck right off, they give me the creeps!

Pandas. They are too dumb to be alive. Their diet mostly consists of plants that have hardly any nutrition, and can't be bothered to reproduce.

There's that one guy that HATES sunfish.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

This was a wild read

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Dogs with blue eyes look absolutely psychotic to me for some reason, like it's indicative that they're the serial killers of the canine world or something. It's super unnerving. This doesn't translate to any other animal for me; for instance I think blue-eyed cats are gorgeous.

This one still looks cute and cool to me. Yeah it is weird but in a good way.

Monkeys are total assholes. They act just like 7 year old children would if they were high on sugar and there were no repercussions for their actions.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand why some people find monkeys cute. They're so ugly and obnoxious! They don't even have the presence or majesty of great apes either. The further from humans on the evolutionary scale, the cuter primates tend to be IMO. By the time you get to lemurs, bush babies, etc, you've hit standard mammal cuteness.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm convinced like 95% of people that say they like monkeys have never interacted with one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

…and the final 5% are just lying…

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Yeah greyhounds look weird but they're the sweetest dumbest most loving buddies
