First they stab eachother. The better the stab, the more effective the stabber's sperm will be. Then they exchange fluids. Then they settle down, buy a minivan, and waste away in an office until they die.
They're snails, they are the minivans.
It's 2025. Even snails are renting their homes these days.
Unless they're.. (pause) .. disco snails! ๐๐บ
for tons of parasites.
Between that and their anus being on their forehead you have to realize that if there is intelligent design he's an evil fucker
Sounds like they were designed by a Spore player. ๐
its like flatworms, they do the same. i think earthworms and relatives are more mutual, they fertilize each other at the same time without fighting.
If you fertilize mine I'll fertilize yours, baby.
That reminds me of this sweet old love song by an old cowboy band.
