Who just shit in my mouth... Oh... I did...

[–]AlixTengusa 180 points181 points ago

It's like a human centepide, except there's only one human.

[–]dcawley 284 points285 points ago

And instead of a human, it's a snake.

[–]Echidnae 41 points42 points ago

Indeed and that also implies that there are none of the 100 feets involved.

[–]Echidnae 39 points40 points ago

Aaaand full circle... Like the snake?! OMG

                  I used to agree but then you think about people in Honey Boo boo. Sure that mom is going to eat herself to an early grave but before she leaves this planet she will have bred at least 4-5 other fat stupid people to take her place. The movie idocracy may soon end up looking more like a documentary.

                  [–]bastian1343 30 points31 points ago

                  Then she was the fittest, wasn't she?

                  If you sit around at age 70, alone, crying about the decay of society and rewatching Idiocracy, and she's long gone and left equally irresponsible offspring, each with 5 kids of their own, then she has - if our scoreboard is natural selection - won.

                  pretty sure eugenics doesn't consider pseudo-intelectuals as an ideal trait. "DURR I hate honey boo boo and spend all day looking at memes and other useless shit on Reddit I am smart and atheist."In summary if honey boo boo goes so do you.

                  [–]DngrZnExpwyClosed 74 points75 points ago

                  While I am a huge fan of the movie and idea that as a culture and civilization we can become less intellectually rigorous due to social factors, this has very little to do with evolution or natural selection. It has a greater impact on the short term politics of nations over perhaps centuries but as a species humans will maintain a generally high level of intelligence as natural events and conflicts weed out the weak and less able to adapt. In the meantime honey boo boo and her ilk will only be imitated by the very weak minded, to their discredit, and pitied by the rest.

                  But I'm not a scientist so I guess it's entirely possible that I don't know how upbringing can affect our genome.

                  [–]jonathanrdt 63 points64 points ago

                  Natural selection Evolution requires scarcity of resources in order to function.

                  If a society provides the means for all to reach breeding age, no natural selection evolution can occur; there is no mechanism to cull the herd apart from disease, which has been significantly nerfed in the modern age.

                  The forces of sexual selection continue to work, but those are the only forces of evolution at work.

                  [–]DngrZnExpwyClosed 5 points6 points ago

                  Let's go with this reasoning because like I said , I'm not a scientist, so I really have no authority to base things on other than discussion.

                  So in this scenario, your civilization has removed most natural selectors and all that remains is sexual selection and the rare incurable disease to keep our population healthy. This goes on for let's say 3 generations, nothing but books and movies from the 'peak intelligence' generation remains.

                  Who cures the next spanish flu type super bug that previous generations had no way of predicting? Answer: the intelligent minority. Who died in greater numbers due to this bug? The uneducated masses. There's your natural selection. It takes much longer than three generations for any real changes to occur within our DNA right?

                  I want to do more examples like this based on the fall of nations that stagnated in the pursuit of comfort (comfort != happiness) and the rise of their competitors but I think I should invite comments.

                  [–]Tasadar 17 points18 points ago

                  The small minority of intelligent scientists are going to share any cure they get, not horde it for only intelligent people, in modern society any benefits of intelligence that affect natural selection are shared by the unintelligent.

                      History has not really shown that. Enlightened societies are often crushed by armed, benighted ones.

                      [–]DngrZnExpwyClosed 0 points1 point ago

                      This concerns the rise and fall of nations over the course of hundreds or maybe thousands of years. To my understanding, the process of natural selection takes orders of magnitude more years than that to affect the evolution of a species.

                      To elaborate: If Greece falls to Rome and Rome falls to the Germanic Tribes and Turks and they fall and still more rise and fall ad nauseum and in between the rise and fall of each of these nations there is a cultural ebb and tide that sees horrors and wonders created by the same cultures, how can there be any effect on the species (not culture) that isn't selecting for successful adaptation and survival.

                      I think Idiocracy and Wall-E show the decline of a culture through cultural darwinism (I know people hate that term) not the decline of the intelligence a given member of a species is capable of.

                          Those people seem to be developing a penchant for early reproduction to help offset their fatally idiotic tendencies.

                          Evolution and adaptation don't necessarily make things better, just more reproductively successful.

                                      Eh, whether or not the snakes are venomous is still up for debate. They cause swelling and numbness when they bite you, so depending on who you ask they either are or aren't.

                                      I used to own a Ball Python, and I will tell you once something goes inside its mouth, it can't be removed without a lot of effort. Their teeth hook backwards so any prey that is still alive can't struggle out of their mouth once they are in there.

                                      I'm not a herpetologist, and my experience is just with my one snake... but I'm gonna say that this snake will not be able to remove its tail from its mouth without assistance.

                                      [EDIT: Added image reference link, also I will point out I don't actually know what kind of snake is in the picture.]

                                        Corn snakes and king snakes do actually do this. It's because of an elevated feeding response due to not being fed enough/not being fed large enough prey/mating season/coming out of hibernation and being disoriented/etc.

                                        Usually they'll vomit it up later. They might have some minor scale/skin damage from it (digestion process starts almost immediately), but after 2-3 sheds it goes away. Not sure about Ball Pythons, though.

                                        [–]DmacC94 9 points10 points ago

                                        nah, most snakes can vomit out a large chunk of animal within minutes. when a big snake eats a large animal (a deer, an alligator, etc) its takes a realllllllly long time to digest, and that long time makes for a very long time of the snake being vulnerable to predators while it's digesting and (although this doesnt happen often) if the snake is seriously threatened it can throw it up relatively quickly.

                                            Up until I saw this, I thought ouroboros is most likely a result of human imagination, not that someone might observe in nature.

                                            and the snake can't get out of the vicious circle by itself.

                                              Right, so lets just take some video before we take Fluffy to the vet..

                                              I get the same thought when moron parents snap a picture of their toddler doing something dangerous. "Dont crack your head open just yet, I gotta show facebook that you're dancing on the roof!" ... Or what have you.

                                              Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear

                                              But Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair

                                              So Fuzzy Wuzzy

                                              Wasn't fuzzy was he?

                                              Algy saw a bear

                                              The bear saw Algy

                                              The bear had a bulge

                                              The bulge was Algy

                                               

                                              Algy is short for Algernon, which was a common enough first name when this poem was written. Why don't people call their kids Algernon any more? It's an outrage.

                                               

                                              Probably because they kept getting eaten by bears.

                                                    I've seen the video, it's at a pet shop so it didn't have an owner. The guy recording just laughs and calls the snake dumb.

                                                        A roommate I used to live with had 2 snakes, snakes are so fucking stupid (according to him), I never got to see it myself but they apparently would often get confused and start trying to eat their own tail, which they'd do till they kill themselves and he had to stop them.

                                                        First time I met this guy, he had one of his snakes on him, which it then proceeded to move through those little latches on his jeans for your belt....... Well just imagine taking a freezie and squeezing it from one end to the other getting all the fun stuff out, but with a snake that's full of shit (or was)....... @_@

They like very dry conditions with very low humidity and as far as I know are not known to tend towards cannabilism.
