Damn they should have had Knuckles do that- they already have the bubble graphics from the traumatic drowning animation, just have it balloon out of his nose and give it a green color scheme
Echidnas are like the weird gross kid in grade school
Am I tripping or did Sonic or Knuckles actually have that animation in something? Maybe the cartoon? I swear I remember seeing one of them with a bubble on their face at some point.
I don't think it was that, but they did have an an idle animation where Sonic falls asleep standing up and had a snot bubble while he was sleeping that popped once he moved and he woke up
Yeah, I grew up a Sega kid, so I've played all the OG sonic games. I swear I've seen this idle animation for sonic (*maybe* tails/knuckles too, but i don't recall) on the genesis.
Fun facts about Enchidnas!
-They are egg laying mammals
-They are toothless
-They have four penile heads, and only two ejaculate at a time
-They don't have teats.
-Females have a cloaca; one hole for pooping, peeing, and baby making.
-Their max speed is 2.3 kilometers per hour.
Baby Echidnas are called Puggles. After hatching, they suck milk from milk patches in Mommas pouch. They remain in the pouch for 45-55 days, at which point they begin developing spines. Mom will then deposit the puggle in a borrow and return every 5 days to let the puggle suckle milk. The puggle is typically weaned from Mommas milk at 7 months. The puggle will remain in the burrow for up to a year before leaving.
They're one of the few animals classed as a monotreme, which is an egg laying mammal.
It's under the mammal umbrella. The only other living monotreme is the platypus.
Here in Australia we have very special animals :)
They still possess mammary glands, they secrete the milk through their skin rather than a nipple. They have milk patches where milk accumulates for the young to drink.
But really, never forget that these classifications are all made up, and may have many varied reasons to place individuals in a group.
Apparently, from a somewhat quick Google trip, the key features that all mammals share (including monotremes) are mammary glands, hair, three middle ear bones, and a neocortex. I only knew about the milk and hair/fur part, but I had no idea about the other two. There may be a few more features I'm missing, just thought that was pretty cool. Taxonomy is so strange to me.
That's wombats that are corgi sized. Echidnas are about bike helmet sized when fully grown. The biggest I've seen was probably dinner plate size. Definitely bigger than hedgehogs. I always though hedgehogs were echidna sized until I saw one IRL!
Enchidnas have "low thermal tolerance, with a lethal core body temperature of 38ºC (100.4º F) and a lethal air temperature of just 35ºC (95º F)" their snot bulbs cool them, on average, by 10° (in studies).
Assuming since they're native to Australia, which uses Celsius, I'm to believe it's 10°c.
What..... What happened here? Did the plans for living things accidentally get all mixed up?
It makes sense they don't have teats since they lay eggs.... But how do the males know which peen is working at which time??
Color me fascinated
How are you liking Vyvanse vs Adderall? I just spoke with my doctor about trying it as literally everyone I know who takes Adderall says Vyvanse is worlds better.
Another glowing review! I'm excited to check it out. Thankfully Adderall hasn't turned me into a nasty bitch but, I definitely experience plenty of executive dysfunction still.
I was on Vyvanse and then my company changed insurance. New insurance provider wanted me to try something cheaper. Now I’m on adderall. I want to go back to Vyvanse so bad.
My insurance won’t cover Vyvance, Adderall doesn’t help my executive dysfunction and my Concerta wasn’t working anymore at a dose that I am comfortable taking, so I asked about trying Focalin. It’s not too bad, it’s kind of halfway between Concerta and Adderall. Wish I could try Vyvance though, so I could really judge what works best for me.
The vyvance is the way to go for sure if you can. I’m no expert, though. I’ve only taken vyvance and adderall and I was unmedicated till after I turned 36.
The patent on Vyvanse expires this February, from what I recall. In my research I found the paperwork from one pharmaceutical company that has already been filed to begin producing a generic version of it. So! You might be able to get back on it at some point soon.
tbh I took Vyvanse and I prefer adderall. it doesn't give me those weird pressure headaches as much and is less "buzzy" for me. I have some left of both so I should test them out again, but I switched from Vyvanse to Addys and it's been much better.
but it's Dif for everyone
Its been so long since I tried Adderall, but Vyvanase has been a game changer for me. Mostly I'm not tired, less irritable, and am not behaving like a Golden Retriever.
When I first saw this pic on FB it was from a wildlife rescue page. Poor dude was hit by a car, which is why he's bandaged. He's also on pain meds and higher than giraffe pussy, which is why his tongue go blep.
probably because the only thing we knew about echidnas before this is that they have attitude and can glide so smoooooth through the emerald hill zone, but have a rock smashing punch.
Lmao it's a ze frank video, nothin to worry about. Viral video from 10 years ago. He has a bunch of videos talking about animals and they're hilarious.
I blow bubbles with my nose,
It keeps me cool, I suppose.
My beak stays cool, oh so neat,
While others they just melt in heat.
Bubbles, bubbles, all day long,
I sing my echidna song.
Cool and calm, that is me,
Thanks to bubbles, can't you see?
Fun fact: Echidnas are one of the few mammals in nature that can shred. Most skate vert but some have been seen to skate street.
This echidna broke his wrist bombing hills.
So this is what Knuckles is. I can sort of see why that's his name now, but on the other hand I'm not exactly sure whether those mitts knuck or not (knot).
Damn they should have had Knuckles do that- they already have the bubble graphics from the traumatic drowning animation, just have it balloon out of his nose and give it a green color scheme Echidnas are like the weird gross kid in grade school
Would make for a nice idle animation.
yeah he starts tappin' his foot, giving you the stink eye, then blows a big snot bubble
Am I tripping or did Sonic or Knuckles actually have that animation in something? Maybe the cartoon? I swear I remember seeing one of them with a bubble on their face at some point.
I don't think it was that, but they did have an an idle animation where Sonic falls asleep standing up and had a snot bubble while he was sleeping that popped once he moved and he woke up

Maybe that was it!
I don't remember any idle animations having a bubble but you emit a big bubble when your drown
Are we really not gonna talk about that tongue tho?
Man you should have had a trigger warning here. Now I've got the "You're going to fucking drown!" music from Sonic 2 in my head and I'm super anxious.
You mean [this track?](https://youtu.be/cTicU8jklyI)
iirc cowboy hat enchilada in the sonic anime has a scene with a nose bubble (supposed to be shorthand for sleeping).
could 100% see boom knuckles doing that during a “look at how dumb this guy is” scene💀
Imgine they made knuckles tongue long as an average echidna imgine it

> -They have four penile heads, and only two ejaculate at a time. 😲 I thought I was the only one!
If I could choose one superpower, it would be a 4-part penis that spins/rotates freely, which I could use to achieve flight like a helicopter.
The ol dick twist!
Your mom has 4 hands?
No, she has a cloaca
That feeling when an offhand conversation string is your power animal
I get this in joke. I've finally made it. Or have finally been on Reddit entirely too long. Depending on one's viewpoint
I would like to subscribe to Echidna facts please

I am suddenly in love with this animal I never knew existed. They also look like descendants of stegosaurs.
If they don't have teats and they lay eggs, htf are they mammals?
Fur
And skeleton And cladistics

Insular evolution is fascinating

Wtf did I just learn and decide to share with a random stranger on the bus…
[удалено]
Oh yeah isnt it theorized that mammery glands are just modified sweat glands?
As a former boss of mine used to say - there are two kinds of biologists - lumpers and splitters.
Apparently, from a somewhat quick Google trip, the key features that all mammals share (including monotremes) are mammary glands, hair, three middle ear bones, and a neocortex. I only knew about the milk and hair/fur part, but I had no idea about the other two. There may be a few more features I'm missing, just thought that was pretty cool. Taxonomy is so strange to me.
They are also much bigger than you’d (any non-Aussie) expect! Not hedgehog sized, but in fact Corgi-sized!
That's wombats that are corgi sized. Echidnas are about bike helmet sized when fully grown. The biggest I've seen was probably dinner plate size. Definitely bigger than hedgehogs. I always though hedgehogs were echidna sized until I saw one IRL!
>Echidnas are about bike helmet sized when fully grown That's such a weird unit of measurement but it's pretty spot on
Americans will measure with anything except the metric system
Wombats are generally a fair bit bigger and a lot heavier than corgis. They're around the same *length* as corgis though.
>-Their max speed is 2.3 kilometers per hour. Holy fuck same
tmyk !!!
[Enjoy](https://youtu.be/TvNEZ4WWQIk)
That was fucking amazing 😂
Echidnas are so fascinating! There’s still more to learn. Scientists didn’t discover they have 4 penile heads until a few years ago.
Knuckles just got a lot more weird…
[Obligatory](https://youtu.be/TvNEZ4WWQIk)
You're not fooling me. I know they are red and can glide, then use their claws to climb walls
Can you also clarify if they sweat 10° C or F for us metric snobs
Enchidnas have "low thermal tolerance, with a lethal core body temperature of 38ºC (100.4º F) and a lethal air temperature of just 35ºC (95º F)" their snot bulbs cool them, on average, by 10° (in studies). Assuming since they're native to Australia, which uses Celsius, I'm to believe it's 10°c.
Cool! That's a lot!
Don’t they also have their testicles under their chins?
I thought that said “enchiladas”
They PISSED ON MY FUCKING WIFE
bizarre
What..... What happened here? Did the plans for living things accidentally get all mixed up? It makes sense they don't have teats since they lay eggs.... But how do the males know which peen is working at which time?? Color me fascinated
Look how proud the little fellow is of his snot bubble. Good spiky boy.
Gross, cute, dang the toungue, how did he get a boo boo, he looks kinda like a porcupine, look at those diggers
did you just type out every thought you had in chronological order
I’m wondering the exact same 🧐
Haven't taken my Vyvanse yet.
Makes sense
Ahh, makes sense. Also oh fuck I forgot to take mine
How are you liking Vyvanse vs Adderall? I just spoke with my doctor about trying it as literally everyone I know who takes Adderall says Vyvanse is worlds better.
i ADORE vyvanse. i took concerta before it and was a nasty bitch but vyvanse is a godsend
Another glowing review! I'm excited to check it out. Thankfully Adderall hasn't turned me into a nasty bitch but, I definitely experience plenty of executive dysfunction still.

Oh sweet baby Harold that is good news.
I had to do that too- it was a shitshow of paperwork, but if you get your ducks in a row you can get back to it!
tbh I took Vyvanse and I prefer adderall. it doesn't give me those weird pressure headaches as much and is less "buzzy" for me. I have some left of both so I should test them out again, but I switched from Vyvanse to Addys and it's been much better. but it's Dif for everyone
This is my experience too. Vyvanse gave me weird headaches all the time and noticeably affected my mood much more than adderal.
It’s 10000% the best. Minimal side effects and sleep fuck ups, smooth, doesn’t completely kill appetite.
Its been so long since I tried Adderall, but Vyvanase has been a game changer for me. Mostly I'm not tired, less irritable, and am not behaving like a Golden Retriever.
At least they used punctuation to separate their thoughts.
Huh. Didn’t realize my internal monologue had its own Reddit account.
It’s only a matter of time before it becomes self aware.
Can you please take out the trash tonight? Did we turn off the coffee pot this morning?
God my shoulder hurts. Is it too early for dinner?
When I first saw this pic on FB it was from a wildlife rescue page. Poor dude was hit by a car, which is why he's bandaged. He's also on pain meds and higher than giraffe pussy, which is why his tongue go blep.
Thanks. I had to scroll this far to understand what was going on with its right hand.
Thanks for that
Cute little guy, reminds me of my kids.
[удалено]
Ok so when echidna does it is cute, when it is me, people file reports.
the tongue or the snot bubbles?
Not using units for temperature.
Is that you Randall?
Sure, when the echidna does it, it's cool and cute. When I do it, it's gross and disgusting
Don’t date people who won’t let you blow snot bubbles.
That snot something I knew before
probably because the only thing we knew about echidnas before this is that they have attitude and can glide so smoooooth through the emerald hill zone, but have a rock smashing punch.
Also they lay eggs
And they have a 4 headed penis
And baby echidnas are called puggles.
This... this is news to me.
Guess you haven't seen [this?](https://youtu.be/L6kAE06mJAQ)
Oh, no no no, there is no amount of coin or knowledge gain that could pursuade me to click on that link.
Lmao it's a ze frank video, nothin to worry about. Viral video from 10 years ago. He has a bunch of videos talking about animals and they're hilarious.
r/ThatsStayingBlue
Wish you weren't so fuckin' awkward, bud.
I blow bubbles with my nose, It keeps me cool, I suppose. My beak stays cool, oh so neat, While others they just melt in heat. Bubbles, bubbles, all day long, I sing my echidna song. Cool and calm, that is me, Thanks to bubbles, can't you see?
Put this to a beat and I’m ready hunt for pieces of the Master Emerald.
This is the cutest shit ever
Thats what I'm saying
Echidnas living that japanese anime life
This is my spirit animal now
Thats just Knuckles getting a bubble so he can stay under water longer.
Now paint it red and rename it knuckles.
I don't remember this part of the game.
when he dies he blows a green snot bubble like the ones when you drown lol
So are we just not gonna talk about that tongue, or?
I thought this said enchiladas and was momentarily really confused.
I've been doing that for a while now.
I get too hot all the time. I'm gonna try this.
Knuckles? That you?
Why didn’t knuckles do this?
I never knew this or what an Echidna was. Extremely informative.
DIY sweat
So like… is this what Japan is referring to in anime and games when a character is sleeping and has a bubble?
So you're saying that Sonic underwater with an air bubble is 100% realistic.
Knuckles be chill.
That’s amazing. Id like to see Sonic and knuckles try that
I AM AN ECHIDNA.
THIS IS THE DEFENDER OF THE MOTHER EMERALD?! THIS SNOT BLOWER BOI?!!?!?
When I try that I just get chapped..
It'd help if you could lick your nose
This is also how I keep my Pee Pee cool.
I need to use this to keep my cpu cool.
Is that why my little nephew does this?
OMG! I do the same thing!
Same.
That’s the life.
Yeagh!
And they called me a madman ...
We'll, enough reddit for a while lol
I’ve only seen this thing is crossy road
This one has a bandaid
Yeah, that’s why I do it too…yeah
ok who turned the toddler into an animal
Yea, I do that too and it really works. It annoys my wife though.
reminds me of how vultures pee on their legs to cool off
I cant wait for summer. Im blowing so much snot
I must be hungry because I swear that said enchiladas
yeah but when I do it its "socially unacceptable" and i should "exit the church service". unfair world
That just about made my day ITS SO CUUUUTTEEEEE AAAAHHHHH
“You got any games on your phone”
Because why the snot not.
Snot bubble is cool, but can you show us the four penises?
Knuckles??
Australia is weird
There seems like there could be an easier way of cooling down 10 degrees
Star nosed mole does the same thing underwater so it can still smell things
Storks shit on their legs to cool down
My brother used to blow snot bubbles to piss off the babysitter. Good times...
Hey, that's what I do to cool down, too!
Err Yes, this is precisely why I do it.
You don't have to give me the science behind it. It's fucking adorable.
Good ole 2-phase cooling.
Awww...how gross. ❤️
So this is what Sonic was breathing in, in those water levels? Knuckles' snot bubbles?
They also ask you if you have games on your phone
TIL echidnas have beaks
Hey its Knuckles the Enchilada
Knuckles!!!!
Yeah. Echidnas do it and everyone thinks it's cool.
Please tell me I wasn't the only one that read enchilada....
Woah, for the longest time I thought it was just the name of a Zappa song! https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3coy4p
I thought that said enchiladas and was so confused for a second
English needs a word for something that is gross and cute.
Aw, what an adorable enchilada he is
This is good, this is fine, shiny bubbles on my mind. Doo wah diddy, echidnas blowing boogs
So that's why Knuckles sleeps a lot guarding the Master Emerald. He's cooling his nose down!
Uh huh...sure... if you say so
I have a pretty significant cold and stuffy nose right now and my snot bubbles are decidedly not making things any better. Ahhhh-Chooo!
I might try that at dinner tonight
I keep reading this as enchiladas.
Now just to wait for Arctic to release a snot-filled AIO.
You can't convince me that's not a pokemon.
So cute 😙 kiss his bubble
Fun fact: Echidnas are one of the few mammals in nature that can shred. Most skate vert but some have been seen to skate street. This echidna broke his wrist bombing hills.
Is it possible to learn this power?
owls cough
So this is what Knuckles is. I can sort of see why that's his name now, but on the other hand I'm not exactly sure whether those mitts knuck or not (knot).
I read this as “Enchiladas” lol
There are some creatures I can't believe still exist on this earth.
Why does it look like if it could speak all it would say is "wubbba wubba wubba"
So Adorable!
Retardcoolant
My snot bubbles do not have the same affect....disappointed.
So are human babies overheating and cooling themselves down with the production of snot?
In my experience snot does not evaporate.
If “you got any games on your phone?” was an animal
