RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

About disasters fires slugs and killer bees
about the nasa slug that’s falling in the sea
Come to my place, I will let you pick all you want. I collected 5kg of those bastards in 2 hours last summer.
You got any good recipes for a harvest like that?
Yeah, I feed the slugs to my muscowy ducks, wait a while, and then apply a duck recipe.
Really? They're like the most common ones where I live and you have to be careful not to step on them because they tend to die trying to cross the streets.
And when you step in them barefoot it's nearly impossible to get that disgusting slime off. Ewww.
I haven't been free of the risk of encountering things like glass, random animal waste, and anti-barefoot laws for so long that the idea of taking strolls barefoot seems alien to me.
Garden at my parent's house. Lush, green grass, shadows below the trees, and most of the year no danger of slugs.
Edit: wait, wait. Anti barefoot laws? What for? Why?
Back in the 1960's, requiring people to wear shoes to use public services was seen as a way to shoo hippies, since the government at the time was not fond of them. The requirement never went away, but the excuse today is that being in bare feet is a health risk.
Those hippies! Nice music and love and stuff, can't have that. No sir!
I wonder if he's angry?
PS: I care. I care very much about you and this lovely slug. Thank you for taking the time to share!
As a redhead, my first thought wasn't "it looks angry" but "aww it's a natural carrottop".
So wrong. I liked seeing your picture of the slug, I don’t see many slugs or snails around here at all. Thanks for sharing
Sometimes you just gotta come out of your shell.
Gross storytime... Once when I was walking on the sidewalk to my apartment when it was pitch black outside, I stepped on something and heard a POP like when you used to blow up the little plastic sandwich baggies at lunch and pop them.
It was a slug. It had popped all over the sidewalk.
🤢🤮
I did this once... but I was barefoot...I immediately began to dry heave... it was single handedly the most disgusting thing I've ever felt.
I dunno, looks pretty fucking cool to me.
Yeah, the image could be better resolution, and maybe a tad differently focused, but it gets the job done of showing a cool critter with great color and framing.
The little slimer is so cute. Where did you find them?
It's raining, so I found it in a random wall from an abandoned house nearby the mini market I was buying some bread
That's no red slug. That's a timid but exhibitionist snail ;)
It's learning to come out of its shell.
I care!
Same.
This is a nice slug :3
Slugs are my favorite animal! I've also never seen a red one outside of pictures. Mostly either brown slugs or leopard slugs.
Leopard slugs? As in they're spotted?
Yeah! It's a common name for gray/brown spotted slugs.
Oh that's why I was wondering. They're the ones indigenous to Eurasia. Where I am, we got the boring monochrome slugs.
Browsing on All I was 30% sure this picture was going to be from some slug enthusiast sub with a million users.
