Is there an advantage for the Shrew to do this? Does the plant grow on the side of the Shrew interstate?

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 92 points 2 months ago

The shrew gets to lap up some sweet nectar, which is also a laxative.

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 70 points 2 months ago

Seems unhygienic to be lapping up toilet nectar

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 69 points 2 months ago

You've never seen those urinals that have complementary delicious cake?

[-] huquad@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 months ago

That's not a cake, that's a breath mint

[-] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

if you crush it up and breath it in youll also get high... and dissolve your brain

[-] Syndication@lemmy.today 11 points 2 months ago

The cake is a lie!

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Wait until you find out where vegetables get their nutrients from.

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

yeah but I aint munching on a raw head of cabbage while sitting on top of its fertilizer.

[-] FloatingAlong@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Speak for yourself, bub.

[-] chisel@piefed.social 81 points 2 months ago

Ecky, Ecky, Ecky, Pakang, Zoom-ping.

Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!

[-] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Imagine if toilets had candy dispensers

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Many pitcher plants produce nectar as a lure.

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 11 points 2 months ago

Not sure about shrews, but some animals hide their feces because the scent can let predators know where they are.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 52 points 2 months ago

Where do these grow? Why are insects scarce? Is it cold?

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago

Scat plants. Thank god we can't hear them speak. Who knows what they have to say.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 2 months ago

Probably something like

"Ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da-dub-dub Ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da-dub-dub"

Or maybe

"Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-bop-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-ba-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda-bope"

"Everybody's saying that the Scatplant stutters

But doesn't ever stutter when he sings

But what you don't know, I'm gonna tell you right now

That the stutter and the scat is the same thing, yo

I'm the Scatplant"

[-] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

Is this a skibidi toilet?

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 24 points 2 months ago

I am a shrew
I see a leaf
With yummy nectar for a feast
I lick the glue
But I feel funny
I've got a rumbly in my tummy
Good, it's true
It has a hole
Wide like shrew-shaped toilet bowl
And so I poo
I feel no sorrow
I'll come and lick this plant tomorrow

[-] caudatecoder@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

this here is the reason I pay for the internet

thank you

This plan started as a toilet, until one day it asked... Why should I not bite the hand that feeds me? And it worked.

[-] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

literally these guys from the All Tommorows book

[-] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 3 points 2 months ago

That looks like something from Codex Seraphinianus.

[-] danhab99@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Wouldn't it be the Colonials?

[-] Brutticus@midwest.social 13 points 2 months ago

Imagine if we could grow toilets?

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Dune probably had a variant of chairdogs for that.

[-] foodandart@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Center loo gets the win!

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 9 points 2 months ago

Bono was briefly into these.

That's right, U2 grew a shrew loo.
