Can't pull a fast one on you lot smh
Can something be both poisonous and venomous at the same time?
Good question. Not an expert. Or even a amateur. But yea eating the venom can't be good.
@fossilesque Your chance to replace the legs of one person with the Saddam Hussein figure...
Aren't those frogs also venomous? The natives use their toxin for tipping their hunting darts and arrows.
The toxins are excreted through their skin, and adhere with the oils that keep their skin moist. It is a defense that keeps other animal from eating/touching them. They are not really facilitated to bite as a defense. They pull prey in, and their mouth mostly crushes, and is used to swallow.
I meant that if we're saying it's venom when it kills you by it being introduced to your bloodstream, then their poison is also venom.
Afaik they all kill you by being introduced into your bloodstream, the difference is mainly how they're able to accomplish getting there. So any poison will kill you if you inject it, but venom will mostly be safe to eat barring any wounds.
From the Natural History Museum UK website -
The hallmark of venom is that it's introduced via a wound. It can be injected through a number of means, including teeth, a sting, spines or claws. 'Poison is different as there is no wound involved. It can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin, inhaled or ingested,'
This explains the name poison ivy.
Aw, it works on my end. It's Venom and Poison sprites from Final Fight.
On removing this part, /revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/163?cb=20130819202120, it works in my case.
Dunno about others.
Images are always tricky with the different ways people view Lemmy.
Yeah. In my case, the thumbnails from mander.xyz posts don't show up because the web UI I use, requests the picture converted to a webp format, which mander's server doesn't understand (the request).
So, in case I want to see the picture, I have to get the link and open it separately and remove the extra query part, to see the image. Or I could the inspector tool to change the URL value inline.
Yep, seen this one before, by the standards outlined it means that:
Lava is poisonous and Bears are venomous.
Hmm, I was going to say there's a chance you survive biting lava - but technically there's also a chance you survive biting something poisonous.
So yeah, flawless logic. The most poisonous and venemous things happen to be the pure unbridled power of the earth and 900lbs of muscle and hungry.
