What's the difference between a redneck maggot and every other maggot?

Redneck maggots have a dicktooth

That’s a weird croissant with eyes.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

The croissant that eats you back.

On the Human skin are living more creatures of these, than existing Humans on Earth. For example, these are running across your face right now without you noticing. All of us have these maskots.

[–] 0nekoneko7@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

This is triggering a phobia in me. I don't want to imagine them creeping on me.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Are these the things I was told are beneficial as a kid?

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 months ago

They feed on dead skin cells and prevent infections. Yes, most of them are beneficial, just like those that live inside us. Although naturally there are also harmful ones, although they are usually the exception. This is why don't Panic knowing that bacteria and bugs like these account for several kilos of our weight. Its benefit is noted among others in digestive disorders and other side effects after treatment with antibiotics, which unfortunately also kills them..

Reminds me of Scrat from the Ice age movies

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

it has what scientists call teef

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 6 months ago (6 children)

Micrographs are awesome. My favourite is the tapeworm with false colour that looks like a methhead https://i.redd.it/97oiw37koff21.jpg

Also, unfortunately, it reminds me of this heinous thing: https://twitter.com/suzuya_96/status/1501884233656467459?lang=en

I hate you. I hate this. I need bleach.

[–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 6 months ago

Luckily, the text loaded fast, while the image lagged, so I had time to close. Sometimes, having a shitty internet pays off.

Ffs. It’s too late for me but there is still time to delete this.

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Oh no comrade Andrenikous, it has only just begun.

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 5 points 6 months ago

Can confirm, Xitter is heinous. Seeing no image there. :(

Looks like a goofy Micro Walrus.

[–] 0nekoneko7@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Insects up close creep me out. It's good humans are bigger than insects. I don't want to see human-sized insects.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As CO2 levels increase, plants will grow faster and put out more oxygen. This will allow insects to absorb enough oxygen to increase to prehistoric sizes.

[–] monsdar@feddit.de 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Understood, kill the plants it is!

Those eyes have seen some THINGS.

[–] Hyphlosion@donphan.social 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

That’s okay. I didn’t want to go to sleep tonight anyways.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

Foot-in-mouth maggot meme template?

[–] LemmyAtEm2@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It looks like a clay model

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Welp, don't need these eyes anymore.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Looks like a scrapped idea for an enemy in The Neverhood.

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Wow, a reference to The Neverhood. Didn't expect that today!

[–] atyaz@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago
