Picture the meme of the diamond digger turning away shortly before reaching the diamonds.
*most beetles
*frog anus
Sometimes when you realize how bad the situation actually is, the only way out is through. Sometimes that means through a tube full of frog shit.
Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit-smelling foulness I can't even imagine, and came out clean on the other side
But when you start the journey with Rita Hayworth all bets are off.
"When life gives you a frog go through the anus" - Aristotle, probably.
So if I understand this, the light at the end of the tunnel, when you're dying, is sunlight shining at the asshole that I'm stuck in?
Cool
Looking forward to seeing just what species I’m coming out of.
If we are stuck inside a bunch of assholes, that would explain why life is shit.
"Speedrunning the frog" should totally be in daily vernacular. I'll do my part!
Could be used where one got screwed over or something (fell into a trap/frog) and motivate them to move forward (going to the light at the end of the frog)
I personally will try to use "light at the end of the frog" more often

"you can look it up" provides no specific details.
It is true, the beetle is the Regimbartia attenuata. There's a paper on the idea of active escape post-predator-contact https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982220308423
Although adult beetles were easily eaten by frogs, 90% of swallowed beetles were excreted within 6 h (0.1–6.0 h) after being eaten and, surprisingly, were still alive. When beetle legs were experimentally fixed with wax, all of the treated beetles were killed in the frogs’ digestive system and finally excreted >24 h (38.3–150.3 h) after consumption. Therefore, swallowed beetles likely used their legs to move through the digestive tract toward the frog vent, hastening their escape.
Best bit in the summary
Vent? Omg these slang terms for cloaca
I am going to start using vent as a pejorative.
You can shut your vent and you can shit your vent.
"you can look it up" provides no specific details.
when you're going through frog, keep going.
Im gonna cry. This is so poetic
one foot in front of the other five
Idk why this made my laugh but ty
Free colonoscopy
It's a feature, not a bug
[popping out of a frog butt] listen I think you're a dick, but still, I think you should see a doctor

Props for ze frank. He has so many interesting facts in his videos.
This does beg the question, is there a Lemmy version of snooted and booted?
And sometimes you have to walk through a whole lot shit to get somewhere good
Sadly it's often just back to where you started, outside next to the frog smelling of shit.
🎶If youre going through hell, keep on going🎶
And if you relate more with the frog, then it's a lesson in chewing your food properly.
Tapeworms likes to be eaten
Makes you wonder why only one beetle does this. Were the adaptions necessary to survive the digestive acid really complex or really unlikely, maybe?
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
