    Would I consider that on par with how the Tarantula Hawk Wasp reproduces?

    For those not in the know:

    Consider yourself warned.

    Tarantula Hawk Wasp mothers find themselves a tarantula - yep, a Hugh Jazz spider - and inject venom into the spider, instantly paralysing it. They then drag the paralysed but fully conscious spider to an underground hole, where they lay an egg on the spider. Her mission complete, momma flies off to do fuck knows what, leaving the paralysed spider behind with a ticking time bomb her egg.

    A few days later, that egg hatches, and the larva, seeing a perfectly tasty meal nearby, digs into the spider, eating it from the inside out, purposely avoiding vital organs to keep them alive as long as possible - while, again, the spider is fully aware what’s going on and completely powerless to do anything.

    Yes, they’re native to Australia. Why’d you ask?

    They’re also native to a few other places, Europe one of the few places they’re not native. Scratch this potentially, turns out my source doesn’t state this.











  • Reminds me of a joke somewhere.

    One day the Queen* comes to visit a hospital. During the tour, she glances into one of the rooms and sees a man masturbating. Shocked, she asks the nurses that tour her around “What in heaven’s name is that‽”
    The nurse quickly guides her away and replies “That patient has a condition where he needs to ejeaculate regularly, and when you’ve gotta, you’ve gotta. He’s been given a private room to not bother the other patients.”

    Some time later they walk by another room, where there’s a patient receiving oral stimulation from an attractive nurse. Shocked, she looks at the nurses who tour her around and asks “What the- what is going on in here‽”
    The nurse answers: “same condition as the other guy, better insurance.”

    * replace for whatever head of state or high ranking official you’d like.
