Boo backwards colors! (I would be too lazy to fix it too, but that won’t stop me from being mindlessly tribal here!)

Yes, but no. The correct symbol would be this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius

But someone fucked up a hundred years ago and now we're here.

Did they fuck up or fuck it up?

The modern use of the caduceus as a symbol of medicine became established in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century as a result of well-documented mistakes and misunderstandings of symbology and classical culture. Critics of this practice say that the correct symbol for medicine is the Rod of Asclepius, which has only one snake and no wings.

So the shark walks up to the dingo stand, and says to the dog running the stand, dum dum dum, got any snakes?

I once wrote in the sex Ed annonymous question box how snakes have sex and the teacher got pissed and threw it away like it was a prank.

I really wanted to know :(

Now I do! Kinda! I know it looks cooler than mamals mating at least

Obviously AI.

Not a spider in sight.

Who do you think took the picture?

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago

There are hundreds, you just can't see them.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Shouldn't your life be in danger? Like you just got bitten by a poisonous spider while you saw all of this.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

That shark is a cake, I can tell from here.

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

I read that and wondered how a dingo would host a dinner with a shark and apparently I need a nap. (Obligatory "thanks, English".)

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

Sounds like a description of an artwork in Rimworld.

We’re here for the fuckin’ snakes, not fuckin’ spiders.
