Aw. That's quite sweet; this sheep was at the end of its life and slowly losing what understanding it had of the world, and these two innocent children kept it company and gave it unconditional love the whole time.

That's funny, but unless the girls are eating undercooked sheep brain, I don't think it'd infect them.

Just sharing because parasites do have specific life cycles, and people used to think that you could get infected with HIV by kissing and hugging.

You can, possibly, get it by kissing. If both kissers are frenching and have bleeding mouth wounds, HIV might be transmitted.

But people used to also think you could get it from toilet seats or even just shaking hands (a practice I'm not fond of for other reasons).

And now he's Secretary of HHS.

I'm sure there's a metaphor in there

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

RFK Jr. came to mind. But he doesn't seem very pettable.

You can drink raw milk in a hot tub with him shirtless though

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

Tbf you should be shirtless in a hot tub if you’re a guy. That’s normal. Everything else otoh…

This is weirdly gendered for no reason.

Parasite pulled the wool over their eyes.

Well now I'm gonna be wondering if the stray cat that comes up to my dogs to rub against them has a brain worm affecting her similar to how toxoplasmosis affects mice.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

More likely she was owned and learned to like the family dogs before she became a stray. Maybe get her checked for a chip?

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 1 day ago

She was born on my porch so I know she was never owned.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Oh, well then! She's just a free-range member of your family then.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

dm;hs or something. I'll show myself out.

[-] obelisk_complex@piefed.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Hey, we don't know that this happened in Scotland.
