Gross flying sex

Took a break from hive yesterday due to a minor health hiccup but don't worry my frens! I am back for your regular dosage of weird.

Today the menu got some weird flying sex by two leopard snails:

So weird and gross 🤣

And yeah, in case you wonder those white appendages are their dicks penises. Leopard snails are hermaphrodite and this is how they exchange semen to impregnate each other 🤣

Here's a bit more info about their unique mating behavior from wikipedia:

The mating habits of Limax maximus are considered unusual among slugs: the hermaphrodite slugs court, usually for hours, by circling and licking each other. After this, the slugs will climb into a tree or other high area and then, entwined together, lower themselves on a thick string of mucus, evert their white translucent mating organs (penises) from their gonopores (openings on the right side of the head), entwine these organs, and exchange sperm. Both participants will later lay hundreds of eggs.

Speaking of gross, here's the reason I was off yesterday:

Yep, got my wisdom tooth out, the last one to be exact. I have been postponing it for quite a while, just look how fucked up it is 🤣

Some peeps complain about the pain but me, I just hate how I can't smoke for the first few days. Oh well, good bye old friend. Thanks for putting up with me all those years.

P.S. Say what you want about hive. Good luck making money on any other place posting about snails having sex and rotten teeth 😂
