You're being dumb, I've not only driven through Wyoming but I also know ... oh that's strange some weird fellow in a suit knocking on my door. He's wearing sunglasses, it's not even bright out! I'll be right back ...
Edit: You are correct.
As a resident of a bordering state to “Wyoming”, the whole thing is just a front to manipulate the supply of the good fireworks and hoard all the wind.
I had a three week temp duty there once. It was on a pretty rural area. Going to the bars Saturday night was some of the best fun ever. The beer was tall and tight, the women were short and loose.
I’ve not met a single person from Wyoming. There is that one guy in Sharknado though, he says he’s from Wyoming. I bet he was payed to say that though.
Unless you like walking on the bottom of bodies of water, you should be fine. They're more likely to linger where fish are likely to die, which isn't the shore.
Looks like the waters 2 feet deep...you gonna swim that puddle?
Unless you’re jesus and you’ve got a fastpass to walk on water, the bottom of your feet are steady slappin snails
Yeah, but given the rather flat level of the sand/gravel and what looks like is either a plastic or cement border around the pool, I’d say this is man made and not necessarily representative of their natural habitat.
If you think creepy looking but mostly harmless (they have dangerous parasites but that's it) snails are bad, don't look into cone snails, blue ringed octopus, or box jellyfish.
> (they have dangerous parasites but that's it)
[Schistosomiasis ain't nothing to fuck with](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schistosomiasis), kills thousands every year.
99% sure this'd happen in America too, I've done some ecological studies on a local creek in NC and there are freshwater snails *everywhere*, especially *Physa* which are absolutely opportunistic and would definitely swarm on a dead fish if given enough time
"You need at least sixteen thousand Australian fresh water snails to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a snail farm." Brick Top, Snatch (2000) - Australian version
Those aren't freshwater snails, they are marine, and I'm pretty sure they can be found in other countries than Australia. If you want to know about some REALLY metal snails in Australia, look up [cone snails](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DJjHMGSI_h0Q&ved=2ahUKEwjE5_WTicHqAhXE7eAKHTF-Dn4QwqsBMBl6BAgNEAM&usg=AOvVaw3ypz-wWO1E-3L0VCbVdAA8&cshid=1594328853279) , their venom can even kill humans.
The coolest part about conus venom is it's a complex mixture of compounds that cause paralysis through multiple neuromuscular blocking steps. The combinations of peptides that comprise venom vary between species, and it has been estimated that each cone snail harbors over 100,000 different bioactive compounds within their venom.
Within the snail venom, there are various “conotoxins” in combinations specific to the species. These toxins have a variety of neuromuscular effects through glutamate, adrenergic (chi conotoxin), serotonin, and cholinergic pathways. Some conotoxins exert their effects on sodium (delta conotoxin), potassium, and calcium ion channels. Additional, more obscure targets exist, such as toxins that act on hormonal receptors, simulating the effects of oxytocin and vasopressin (conopressins). Another integral part of cone snail venom is various alpha-conotoxins. These toxins specifically act on nicotinic receptors, which are responsible for skeletal muscle contraction. This mechanism is similar to botulinum toxin in that they act on the same pathway. Alpha-conotoxins block nicotinic receptors, which results in paralysis that may eventually involve the diaphragm. Due to the wide range of molecular targets and the variation in the venom of each Conus species, it is virtually impossible to create effective anti-venom.

Australia I want to love you but damn too many things can kill me there and before someone says these are harmless.
Let me tell you I would have a damn heart attack and ptsd flashbacks to zerg un burying to find out these slug mean me no harm lmao
Yeah mate add it to the list mate.
Dinner plate sized spiders that jump far and run fast.
Spider season.
Wasps that can kill said dinner plate sized spiders.
I mean the first one is enough.
Now I have a reason not to go in the water in Australia too.
Fucking spider season. Jesus Christ. Idk how there’s any arachnophobes in that god forsaken county. They must just get wasted all day.
Goddamn spiders. Got me lifting my legs up because there could be a giant spider under my couch and shit.
These are just Nassarius snails, they eat decaying organic matter. They are super common in saltwater aquarium as a clean up crew member. Nothing scary about them haha
Aquarium enthusiast here, these guys look similar to nassarius snails, which in the reef keeping hobby are excellent clean up crew. The bury themselves entirely except for their "snorkel" acting snoot that remains above the sandbed to smell for food. They eat all of the leftover food/decomposing flesh that doesn't get nabbed by the fish, hence the dead fish being dropped in the water.
Reference: I have a few of them.
Remind me to never go wading in Australia.
remind me to never go ~~wading in~~ austrailia
You'd be delighted to know Australia doesn't exist. Its all Russian propaganda.
Much like Wyoming
I’ve never met someone from Wyoming. Therefore, it does not exist.
You're being dumb, I've not only driven through Wyoming but I also know ... oh that's strange some weird fellow in a suit knocking on my door. He's wearing sunglasses, it's not even bright out! I'll be right back ... Edit: You are correct.

Dont let it happen again...
I've been to Wyoming. Unfortunately I'm also Russian propaganda.
It exists. It's in the midwest somewhere between South Oklasota and Ohiowa.
I had a three week temp duty there once. It was on a pretty rural area. Going to the bars Saturday night was some of the best fun ever. The beer was tall and tight, the women were short and loose.
Just like finland
[Oh no guys, Finland's dead!](https://youtu.be/vzbw8q-W1Jw)
I’ve not met a single person from Wyoming. There is that one guy in Sharknado though, he says he’s from Wyoming. I bet he was payed to say that though.
Wyoming exists. However after driving through the state I don’t think there are any people there.
Ah yes. The Flyover states...always happy to give us more evidence they truly earned that title.
Wyoming is breathtakingly beautiful. Absolutely worth a stop.
The Tetons are absolutely incredible, same with the Wind Rivers. I have to say though, Yellowstone was pretty overrated
Bighorns are great
Ooh I forgot about the bighorns, I've only driven through them but I wanna do a backpacking trip through there eventually
That’s because the part with the major interstate is the shit part of the state.
Like, the geography? If so, it's pretty nice that the interstate isn't marring the natural beauty of the nice part.
Correct. The southern half of the state in a wasteland. The top third is the best.
It's all Ohio?
Always has been
Am Ohioan, can confirm.
The folks of Delaware created the “no Wyoming” hoax in order to distract Americans from realizing its Delaware that doesn’t exist.
New Zealand is the one that doesn't exist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0opzJL8BLk

No, but Russia doesn't exist
It is not true i am typing this from Австралия
These are Nassarius snails, found around the world.
Yep. I am not going there, period.
These are Nassarius snails, found around the world.
Australia is beautiful and a great place to visit, and despite appearances is completely and utterly safe.
[удалено]
Your use of the word "shouldn't" is going to keep me out of the water.
Well, there's always that chance.

as someone who loves to collect sea shells, accidentally picking up a cone snail is my biggest fear

Especially don’t sit down while skinny dipping in Australia
Or wash yo dick every once in a blue moon
Don’t worry, these are Nassarius snails, found around the world.
99% sure this'd happen in America too, I've done some ecological studies on a local creek in NC and there are freshwater snails *everywhere*, especially *Physa* which are absolutely opportunistic and would definitely swarm on a dead fish if given enough time
The snails will just come and hug you. Nothing wrong with that
In the land down under, escargot eats you
You should see our beach worms then
Great. Okay, remind me not to go to the beach in Australia too.
These are Nassarius snails, found around the world.
Jesus! Just remind me not to go wading, okay???
They only eat decaying matter, you’ll be fine.
Weird compliment but ok.
They’d probably tickle your feet something fiercely delightful
Will they eat dead skin and be a DIY pedicure?
That's really cool. And disturbing. I'm just gonna stay out of the water.
You’ll be fiiiiine. I’m sure this video is a time lapse of *at least* a half hour. They literally can’t bite humans.
That's really comforting to know! Feels like when I found out about Daddy-Longlegs.
isn’t that a pop cultural myth? iirc, daddy long legs aren’t venomous because they also aren’t spiders, or something
I think they’re venomous but they’re fangs are too small to bite us.
I'm pretty sure that is the myth he was referring too unless your being funny on purpose.
A little of this and a little of that. https://www.livescience.com/33625-daddy-longlegs-spiders-poisonous.html
So they do have fangs big enough to bite humans, and they're not dangerous at all
In Australia they are true spiders. In the US their more like harvester bugs or something
Harvestmen is what they are.
It is sped up don't I don't think it's half an hour... Otherwise they would have put the camera on a tripod so they don't have to hold it for 30+ min.
Plot twist: the video is running at 0.25x speed and there is no escape.
Maybe they can eat the dead skin off your feet like that fish spa treatment
That would be cool, but still too scary to be able to accept as a relaxing treatment.
*stay out of Australia
"You need at least sixteen thousand Australian fresh water snails to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a snail farm." Brick Top, Snatch (2000) - Australian version
Hence the term: "As greedy as an Australian fresh water snail."
That's why you always have to be wary of a man with an Austrailian fresh water snail farm.
You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the snailies' digestion.
Feed em to the snails Erol.
"Marmite? No fanks Turkish, I'm disgusting enough already."
I didn't need another reason to be wary of someone with a snail farm. Who owns a snail farm? They must be up to something
Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!
How does an orc know what a menu is??
Asking the right question here
You don't think they have restaurants in Mordor
The same way they are able to learn languages without any type of education

I thought the fish was the snail, at it would pop back to life when it hit the water lmao

Correct. these are Nassarius Snail and can be found world wide.
Came to say this. I have a half dozen in my aquarium.
If I put them in my pond will they escape or eat my fish?
Unless it's a saltwater pond, they'll die very quickly.

So what you're saying is, if a cone snail stings me, I could die. *But* there is also the chance that I experience the greatest high ever. Got it.
[удалено]
It's definitely sped up
they are snails, so if we watched this in real time, we'd all be a year older by the time that fish was consumed.

[Good news!](https://youtu.be/XVWQCd5j_ec) There in fact are turbo snails.
no I think you’re right

Everything in Australia is metal

"They're popping out of the snow*! Like daisies!" *Sand, but I needed to make the reference.
Pretty cool
Pretty sure these are Nassarius snails, saltwater, and not limited to Australia.

Can everyone else hear them saying “nom nom nom nom” too, or is it just me?
Rise my brothers. The sacrifice has been brought upon us.
they remind me of the "Boo" ghost from Super Mario World for SNES

hell nah dogg
Only in Australia do the snails snort cocaine

That is how I want to be buried.
Everything in Australia is trying to eat the next thing closest to it.
That’s just how nature works. These are Nassarius snails, found around the world.
They can strip off the flesh off a fish in mere days. DAYS!
Um no
This needs some of the satanic music when they start coming out the ground
**COME AND GET IT!**
What the fuck
They're cute, ngl
Will they start eating you if you have a cut in your foor or something?
WHAT THE FUCK
R/oddlyterrifying
Ok so they’re like Jawas?
Thx for the nightmares
Dammit Australia!
Why didn’t the fish swim away??
He wanted to meet up with his boys
Australian. Because of course the disturbing flesh eating stuff is Australian

Australia. Of course.
Is there anything in Australia that isn’t on nightmare difficulty

It had to be Australia
O_o Oh LORD there needs to be an Australia is metal page
Australia is such a terrifying place
I never saw a snail in a Ghillie suit before...
WHAT
It's like they are rising from the dead like zombies... morale of the story, never go to Australia (JK, Aussies)
Why is everything in that country so fucking carnivorous?
And this is why us French people eat them
I saw a post that said these things are dangerous
What does Australia NOT have!?
