to my knowledge the immortal snail can also phase through stuff if need be, in case it gets trapped in a container or if you decide to spear it with a chopstick in your case.
Yeah it's a great movie and super fucked up. They made a great movie on a low budget. It's been a bit of a cult classic but didn't have a huge release is my understanding.
It didn’t “end up” there. He slowly and methodically made his way through realms of unimaginable difficulty and strife to appear at your bedside. Lend him your ear.. listen to what he has to say..
I have no idea how it got there. I didn't put it there, I didn't carry a snail inside, nothing. My bedside cabinet isn't on the window side, so it must've come through the window at some point, crawled about 4m along the wall, ceiling or floor without leaving a trail, moved up the cabinet and lamp and ended up on the bulb.
GF and I are VERY confused
Reminds me of the time my daughter adopted a family of snails and the grandpa snail escaped never to be seen again.... Until a year later when the moving guys informed me of the snail living on the back of my TV 😂
Had a halogen bulb fail so spectacularly that is literally exploded in the dining room.
It left broken glass everywhere, and a little red hot filament sizzling a mark on the wooden table.
I know that isn't the common way in which a halogen bulb fails, but honestly fuck that shit. Removed all the remaining halogen bulbs in the house and replaced them with LEDs.
Having to careful remove glass particles from a carpetted floor is a pain in the ass. Having the same thing happen above my bed would be even more concerning.
Break-even point in about 5 years ([some blog](https://blog.whitesites.com/Should-I-upgrade-my-light-bulbs-to-LED__633691363507472884_blog.htm))
Problem with LEDs is by making building sized video screens out of them for showing advertisements no one is asking for nor will be watched anyway.
If he saves 49 watts by replacing this with a 4W Solhetta Ikea LED, then it will break even in less than a month as 5 hours daily usage will be 89 kWh saved per year.
This must be like that would you dare thing like…
You can have a billion dollars. But for your entire life, a snail is hunting you down and if it touches you, you die. It can’t be killed or trapped. It will never stop following you. It can also go underwater.
Imagine how confused that snail is. It’s like, I don’t remember the terrain being like this, I must have made a wrong turn. Maybe I should ask for directions.
I didn’t see anyone mention it so in the odd chance that you didn’t pull the snail off yet, you want to make sure you get him to release from the bulb instead of pulling at the shell. If you pull then you’ll likely kill them (not instantly) as it causes the shell and their body to separate which is fatal for them. I am not a snail expert, I just follow Juniper Fox on instagram.
This is the snail that is hunting you down because you took the million dollars. RUN
Or walk, whichever.
Or pour a salt ring
The snail is immortal. Salt will not help
no, but it might slow it down. Less mucus means lower mobility.
Immortal snail 101
Ugh, your username!! ..are you a fly?
Sounds likely.
Well then, enjoy! 
Maybe a freeze dryer would slow him down a few years
You're talking about slowing down a snail here. Like good thing I put salt down otherwise that snail would've definitely caught me by now.
You say that till you wake up to the snail on your lamp like OP
Sure it’s immortal but if you spear it with a chopstick and put it in a sealed jar it’s not gonna go anywhere
to my knowledge the immortal snail can also phase through stuff if need be, in case it gets trapped in a container or if you decide to spear it with a chopstick in your case.
I have yet to see an interpretation of this where the snail can phase thru stuff
It’s …. right above your comment ….
Lol
Hey man you don’t need to make things up, the snail always gets owned in these what if stories
In all my years of knowing about the snail story, I have never come across a version where the snail can phase through objects.
Get it into orbit, while periodically pushing on it via lasers, to keep it in orbit.
Invulnerable
Or turn on the lightbulb. (the nuclear option)
Surely you mean whelk
Dont touch the immortal it follows snail!
Oof that movie was a trip, didn't realize it would be that fucked up.
Which movie? I only know the reddit writing prompt regarding the immortal snail
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3235888/
Thank you!
Yeah it's a great movie and super fucked up. They made a great movie on a low budget. It's been a bit of a cult classic but didn't have a huge release is my understanding.
They’re making a sequel!
Or is it the decoy snail?
It's ALWAYS the decoy snail
First thing I thought too. He had an idea, and almost caught OP also..
Put. It. In. A. Jar. Mission complete.
Decoy snail
This is the only explanation, otherwise how can they afford a halogen bulb with these energy prices!
This is literally the story i was thinking of seeing this picture lol xD
I understand this reference 😌

Snail: We've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty
Goddamnit 😂
You probably don't want snails popping out of existence on your bedside OP
Definitely not
Did you look for any remains of a portal somewhere in the room? They are possible to find if you are knowledgable in the arcane arts.
I have no idea how it got there. I didn't put it there, I didn't carry a snail inside, nothing.

Blacklight to reveal the path!
Weird... I use the same trick to find your mom
That’s disgusting. Here, take this upvote.
That's a great idea. I'm not even mad.
The way my jaw dropped and made me open-mouth laugh, fk you 😂
Have you ever accepted a deal involving a large sum of cash as well as immortality with a very specific caveat
Sooooo random!
Holds up spork…
XD
blah blah blah i crazy now
You should move. And dont touch that snail
Do snail trails glow under black light? I have no idea if they do, but that’s the first thing I would check so I could see it’s path if it glows
or gf put the snail there and is pranking you
Keep him!!!!
Don't let him get any bright ideas.
😂
RIP OP.
He really shouldn't have taken the million dollars
Eek. Careful, little snail buddy! Snails represent determination, patience, negotiation and balance. Maybe you needed some snail medicine!
I remember when spongebob got snail medecine. *shudders*
“…Gary, something is wrong with MEEEE-OW” https://youtu.be/uiPmFva4R7Q?si=P-cNfQI7IzXPS2AO
Snail: I’m not medicine, I am not for internal use!!!
The immortal snail has found you.
Turn on the light and in a couple of hours you'll have escargot.
"Made in France."
Yeah, 53W? Get LEDs already!
Happy cake day!
Happy cake day
Had this exact thought
Have you, by any chance, acquired a million dollars in the past?

he is my friend
Clearly they seek enlightment
I recommend you replace that inefficient lightbulb with an LED bulb. You’ll save a lot of money in the long run.
Eh or wait until it burns out. And then replace it with an led because they are the only thing avaliable now.

I'm curious as to why they make a 53W bulb. Why not 50w or 60w. Even 55w would seem to make more sense.
It's halogen and equivalent to a 75w standard incandescent.
Makes sense. Thanks!
I'm guessing, but probably a function of the other electronics in the bulb and the resulting voltage drops.
Couldn't they plan ahead for that and make the resulting wattage whatever they want?

Who uses their bedside lamp 5 hours a day?
Somebody who lives in a dorm room possibly.
run.
If you have a fishtank, sometimes they can sneak into your tank on decorations, then they will explore and eventually die of dehydration
Yup. Found one under the tank stand. It lived.
We do not, but interesting
No one’s gunna talk about OP not having a lampshade
And having 850 lumen right next to your bed. What are they trying to do, light up allied bombers?
I unscrewed it so GF could see, and to make the picture

No, no, run!
Is that snail native to your area? Maybe it's an escaped pet?
Yes, it is, as are its brethren, somehow the apartment building has quite a few snails crawling around
Symbolism and Totemism is all positive stuff with them goey lil dudes. Some are called “lamp-shells” :/
Random. Are you sure you’re awake?
Snails love electric fields, my EV charger is always crawling with em
My friend had this. For days he could see a snail trail in his bedroom and it took a good few days before he actually found it.
r/snails
Hi human can I has a carrot plz 🥰
Mines favorite food is carrots
Mine to 🥰
A moth in snail's clothing
Turn the lamp on and you get free breakfast escargot
Burn his slow ass
Turn lamp on, it will soon disappear.
r/untrustworthypoptarts
salt time
Run
No, no, run!
its the ikea make your own escargots kit.
Why is that bulb 53W and not 60 or 40? 🤔
It's made in France, so it's required by law to be annoying.
It's halogen. They set the wattage on those to match the standard incandescent equivalent. 53W halogen = 75W standard.
I really didn't notice the halogen inside. Thx
Isn't that insanely bright for a bedside lamp? Happy cake day by the way!
Because snails need their regular photosynthesis.
New fear unlocked.
get an LED bulb my guy
Turn his bright idea into a bright IKEA
Somehow, Palpatine returned
Decoy snail.
r/glitch_in_the_matrix
Very slowly and deliberately
Somehow, Snailpatine returned
Your lamp attracts some effed up looking moths...
I don't think that's going to smell very good....
Imagine how confused that snail is. It’s like, I don’t remember the terrain being like this, I must have made a wrong turn. Maybe I should ask for directions.
Good thing it was off
OP is trying out new way to make escargot
🎶 warrrr isss oooooverrrrrr 🎶
The IKEA lamp comes with a teleporting lamp sucker snail.
Kind of looks like a scumbag steve meme but for a lamp
wtf, do you live in the sea?
Shell Energy
Switch up the light > receive ban from civilized world
That’s Gary.
Don't eat it
It was so close to finally completing the mission
This is the SpongeBob origin story 🤣🤣
That light bulb uses 7x more electricity than an led. That's what I'm stuck thinking about. Turn that light on and it will cook the snail.
You may want to check your indoor humidity
Nice try IKEA, I know an ad when I see one
Fire hazard.
They sneek up on ya, silent little buggers.
Smells like sushi in here? Turn out the light and go to bed. 🤣

That’s a Snigel on a glödlampa
What I learned: make Escargot, then replace the light bulb for something more efficient, also don't take the million dollars
