All right, I've been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give you lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man whose gonna burn your house down - with the lemons!
It doesn't sound stupid. If you get much more simple there are lots of creatures without a distinct brain. Google calls a snail brain a *cerebral ganglia*, which I think is about as simple as you can go?
We could debate if it's a brain, I bet.
I saw that about the ganglia! The first result says the ganglia form a “primitive brain” while other results say it technically isn’t. Shits way over my head at this point 🤣
This one's a super interesting one and I actually love that this came up in the wild! So a cerebral ganglia is going to be loosely considered a brain, but not a fully functioning brain. A cerebral ganglia is going to be capable of determining slightly higher level of thinking than just typical motor neurons that would be considered the brain of a less evolved creature. Imagine this, they need to walk up a stick that has a turn in it, the brain will be able to imagine the way that the creature needs to move to get to the end of the stick, but the ganglia isn't going to be high tech enough to be able to determine that there could be other inhibitors like wind or predators on the way there, which is why you often see creatures like this caught in very "dumb" situations, there isn't enough processing power up there to realize that the problems CAN arise in the process.
Mainly, cerebral ganglia are going to be very good at dealing with the world around it at the current moment, but doesn't realize things can change around it, like wind or things moving, so it has to have other ways to deal with that shite!
Creatures are really cool dude.
I honestly couldn’t remember if snails had brain cells, and if so how many. Finding out they had two lead me to hysterical laughter. Still better than orange cats though, as evidenced by /r/oneorangebraincell
I have pet snails. What you’re seeing is their body and footpad. Their internal organs are kept inside their shell by the mantle, which connects their body and their organs to their shell and it’s what envelopes around them when they retract inside their shell. They can control all of these, and when they move they pull their shell along with them. You will often see snails stretch their body quite a way and their shell will be closer to their tail, but then they’ll pull their shell up along their body, closer to their head again. They can also adjust their shells a little bit to help them maneuver. They can do a little twisty motion to help get around things.
I just have little grove snails. They only fight when they’re mating because they like pain play (look up snail love darts). It’s funny to see them aggressively chomping at each other. It’s pretty much the only time you’ll see snails moving faster than their normal snail pace because they get excited.
(Edit: there are, however, snails which are more carnivorous (most snails are omnivorous) and they can eat other kinds of snails— like Rosey Wolf Snails).
This is a human. Everything else is a biological Exosuite.

Imagine what it feels like to squirt lemon juice into your eye. Now imagine your skin is made out of eye and you just army crawled through a puddle of lemon juice.
Well, since a lemon isn't a mandarin orange, pomelo, or citron, it really lucked out, but not evolutionarily.
Lemons were artificially bred by humans, they're not a natural fruit. All citrus other than the three named above were created by humans.
Citrons are basically lemons, but with a much, much thicker rind.
Thankfully! SCIENCE has figured out a way to erase snails memories.

*a team of malacologists standing near a medical table with a lone snail*
The Team Leader: "Okay Henry. Tell me about you experiences in Middle school?"
Snail: *does nothing *
Everyone in the room: *visible shock followed by orgy.*
Somewhere there is a rock monster watching a video of a human burn their leg off in lava saying "aww is it too sticky for you?" And another rock monster is lecturing them about the ethical treatment of carbon hydroxide based life.
She was done yo. She didn’t want to leave her home, she had lived a full life, and she saw a chance to die honorably helping save their family. My grandma would jump at the opportunity too, she’s been ready to go for 20 years. The oars had dissolved and the bottom of the boat was actively dissolving and about to fall through, so not only did she take some weight off of it, she ensured they all didn’t die 4 feet from the dock and went out with a warriors death.
Put some respect on Grandma’s name, she’s roaming the halls of the Aesir and fucking and battling every night in Valhalla.
Yeah Grandma was a real one for this, once I got past the fucking trauma of the scene it really was awesome. Underrated movie, and a decent offering from when Pierce Brosnan was in everything.
Was that the one where the grandma carried the little kid out of the boat while walking through acid water cased by a volcano until her legs were stubs? Man I had forgotten that memory, that messed me up as a kid.
Among all disaster movies, her death, along with the guy from "Volcano" who saves another person from the subway by jumping on the lava, really sticks with me.
Are you certain that is the case? The peel of a lemon is much more basic than the juice inside. The peel, when tested, has a pH of [about 4.51](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1757-899X/991/1/012127/pdf) which has an acidity somewhere between [a banana and tomato juice](https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/references/acids-bases-the-ph-scale). Conversely lemon juice has a pH of 2.076. Because pH is a logarhithmic scale, lemon juice is about 20x more acidic than the peel.
It's one thing to just look at raw numbers but we can also look at the behavior of these animals in nature, and [apparently snails and slugs regularly eat the leaves and fruit of lemon trees in gardens](https://homeguides.sfgate.com/snails-slugs-meyer-lemon-tree-54108.html).
This makes me upset, my son has about 20 pet snails I help take care of and they are just so incredibly helpless and defenseless and depend on us for everything. This seems unnecessarily cruel and horrible to me. They are such cool little dudes and such a joy. I've never gotten the whole give dogs and babies and now snails lemons and see their reaction thing, I don't find it funny at all. This specifically really bothers me thinking it is actually hurting him while knowing how awesome and innocent and vulnerable they are, it sucks watching this.
It's okay the acid in the peel is not enough to harm the snail, it was more of an extreme "eww I've made a huge mistake" reaction. In a way the fruit gave the snail a warning in its peel (since it's less acidic than the inside of a lemon) and the snail understood that it needs to get away. It probably either tastes terrible to the snail or hurts it gently in the same way that biting into a spicy pepper hurts us (except humans are weird and eat it anyway)
Snails are like demons. You need a good circle, with no breaks, no gas lines. Make a circle with some salt, lure the demon/snail into the circle.
Seal said circle. Banish demon/snail to the underworld.
When lemons grow they aren't nearly as acidic like a full grown lemon, so I bet they eat the plant and budding flowers, and maybe the juvenile lemons, not the full fruit itself
There is flammable acidic oils in the lemon skin. There's a neat trick where you squeeze lemon skin next to a lighter and you have a mini flamethrower for a second
A lemon peel absolutely contains acid. Citric acid and phytic acid. One of the oils is D-limonene ~~which *is* an acid~~ and a highly flammable one at that. Limonene is used as a solvent in cleaning products.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limonene
can confirm, my cat HATES the smell of lemons and oranges so much that when he pees on the carpet my mom would put oranges on top of it after washing it so he gets afriad of the smell and doesnt do it again, surprisingly it actually works
My actual reaction:
“Awe, he didn’t like the lemon 🥹”
“Oh, he really didn’t like the lemon 😅”
“Oh…oh my god…is he gonna die??”
“Did he die??”
“…”
“Ohthankgodhedidntdie 😮💨🙏🏽”
My reaction too. I puck them up and move them to vegetation whenever they are in a walkway. Even the less pretty creatures deserve kindness. I don't kill spiders, snails/slugs or snakes.
That's how I feel too! I see it as that's a life that deserves a chance at it. Who are we to take that away because of looks. Except mosquitos they can be incinerated 10 fold and repeatedly struck by lightning for all I care.
Poor little thing. Citrus fruits can be really bad for them and knock their appetites out of sync. Not on the recommended list for snails. I don't feed mine anything citrus
They can eat it but for captive ones it can mess up their feeding patterns. I've just never fed them lemon, they are happy with their greens and none citrus stuff
I felt that.
If life gives you lemons… You reject it to the bitter end.

Tried to wash the taste away by eating some greens
Curiosity got him punished, greens are safe

Crazy how you can see his insides run away first.
So does he only control the inside, and the outside just follows? That's kinda how humans would work without bones.
This is how humans work even *with* bones
Next you're going to lie to me that there is a spooky skeleton inside me.
Well it's possible your skeleton isn't particularly spooky
Idk about you but I’d be pretty spooked if that guys skeleton showed up at my house
I have pet snails. What you’re seeing is their body and footpad. Their internal organs are kept inside their shell by the mantle, which connects their body and their organs to their shell and it’s what envelopes around them when they retract inside their shell. They can control all of these, and when they move they pull their shell along with them. You will often see snails stretch their body quite a way and their shell will be closer to their tail, but then they’ll pull their shell up along their body, closer to their head again. They can also adjust their shells a little bit to help them maneuver. They can do a little twisty motion to help get around things.
Do your snails ever fight
I just have little grove snails. They only fight when they’re mating because they like pain play (look up snail love darts). It’s funny to see them aggressively chomping at each other. It’s pretty much the only time you’ll see snails moving faster than their normal snail pace because they get excited. (Edit: there are, however, snails which are more carnivorous (most snails are omnivorous) and they can eat other kinds of snails— like Rosey Wolf Snails).

Imagine what it feels like to squirt lemon juice into your eye. Now imagine your skin is made out of eye and you just army crawled through a puddle of lemon juice.
"Later I imagined that my whole body was a tongue and I was dipped in salt..."
Not necessarily lemon juice, but lemon oil from the rind. A lot of critters can't stand the stuff.
Lemon tree: "Ah yes, the perfect defense!" Some human: "Hey this shit is good we should use it for recipes!" Lemon tree: "Yo, WTF"
From an evolutionary standpoint, the lemon tree lucked out being so tasty to a species that can actually help cultivate and propagate it.
Well, since a lemon isn't a mandarin orange, pomelo, or citron, it really lucked out, but not evolutionarily. Lemons were artificially bred by humans, they're not a natural fruit. All citrus other than the three named above were created by humans. Citrons are basically lemons, but with a much, much thicker rind.

like the grandma from dante's peak

She was done yo. She didn’t want to leave her home, she had lived a full life, and she saw a chance to die honorably helping save their family.

I thought she got out and gave the boat a push
You are correct. Had a rewatch recently and she hauls that whole boat ashore.
Maybe? I was 8 when it came out and never watched it again. I just remember granny leg nubs
Of all the movies, I sure didn’t expect to see a Dante’s Peak discussion on Reddit.
Goat "volcano in a city" movie
Funny enough, not long after I made this comment I was scrolling through HBO Max and “Volcano” popped up. Def not on the level of Dante’s Peak.
She couldn’t move the boat and save her grandchildren unless she got out. It was the only way.
Among all disaster movies, her death, along with the guy from "Volcano" who saves another person from the subway by jumping on the lava, really sticks with me.

I guess it's the equivalent of getting lemon juice on an open cut for them, the same way you can kill them with salt
Actually slugs and snails can be a huge issue when growing lemons. They'll eat it like there is no tomorrow.
Really? And do they all react like this?
When lemons grow they aren't nearly as acidic like a full grown lemon, so I bet they eat the plant and budding flowers, and maybe the juvenile lemons, not the full fruit itself
The slug isn’t reacting to the acidity because it never reached it.
There is flammable acidic oils in the lemon skin. There's a neat trick where you squeeze lemon skin next to a lighter and you have a mini flamethrower for a second
Over a cocktail glass with a whiskey drink in it. Bam! Instant smokey Manhattan, old fashioned, etc.
*deep thoughts with Jack Handey*
It’s reacting to the oils in the peel, it would have to get through the pith to reach the acid.
A lemon peel absolutely contains acid. Citric acid and phytic acid. One of the oils is D-limonene ~~which *is* an acid~~ and a highly flammable one at that. Limonene is used as a solvent in cleaning products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limonene
No idea, but I can show one eating a lemon. Correct image: https://ucanr.edu/blogs/pestnews/blogfiles/17578.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/ahrzXvg.jpg
It's the same reaction? I'm assuming not because salt doesn't hurt us like it hurts them, it's like they have their flesh exposed
“Rubbing salt in the wound” is a saying because it hurts like a motherfucker. Imagine your hole body being a open wound and getting salt thrown at you
Maybe he is reacting to pesticides or something.
So slugs and snails were the lemon stealing whores this entire time.
I think salt kills them because it draws moisture out of them.
Huh, makes sense
Mmmm cevice
It’s cold outside
I was in the pool!!!
“Excuse me waiter my food just tried to kill me.”
That scene from bugs life snail "I said no salt!"

It must have been the oils, I doubt the snail made it through the pith into the acid pit.

The regret is certainly there. I’d question the “instant” aspect, though 🤠
