Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I wish people were mating like this. Not that I want to, just it would be hilarious

My kid used to love going for walks in the woods with me.

One day we came across one of these mating balls, and they had never seen a garter snake before. Despite my assurances that these are literally one of the most harmless things you can find in the woods, my kid has never willingly accompanied me for hikes since.

I’m something of a mating ball, myself.

I didnt know Canada was Australia. I always thought Canada was too cold for this shit.

Garter snakes are harmless, they run from you and don't bite.

Even if they did bite it would still be harmless, tiny teeth, low bite force, no venom, would hardly hurt if it managed to hurt at all.

Ok so why are you taking photos and not joining in on the fun?

Manitoba remains my least favored province. But the snakes are cool at least.

Did someone tell the snakes Kevin O'Leary was around?

Admit you want to climb into the snake orgy a bit

Is there no Fucking Interesting community on Lemmy?

Fuck all of this. I hate snakes more than Indiana Jones does. Last week I was taking laundry down to the basement and stepped directly onto a garter snake. Horrifying.

The snake was probably horrified as well. At least it was a garter and not a rattler or mamba.
