I honestly did not have eye worms from fly testicles on my apocalyptic bingo.

Anyone else?

I’m not sure. For some reason I’m having trouble seeing my bingo card

The spread to bears shows the worm is gaining ground and new hosts in the US.

Since then, it has shown up in at least 11 dogs—in New York

As it has already shown up in NY, we can only guess which wormy brained individual spread it to bears

Damn, RFK is spreading eye worms from bears and J.D. Vance is spreading drug-resistant gonorrhea by fucking couches without protection.

“Males have to grow these outrageously large testes and the sperm are all rolled up inside,” Pitnick explains. “The testes are about 11 percent of the male’s total body mass.”

Damn

Wolfman’s got nards

ClanOfTheOcho ,

Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that one.

ravhall ,

I don’t know the reference, but I can assume the decade it’s from by “nards” 👴

TargaryenTKE ,

Lol true, you don’t hear anyone say it anymore. Monster Squad 1987

ravhall ,

Ohhhh, I’ve seen that! And yeah, right decade 😇

Fun fact: fruit Flys are sexed (both in the sense of determining their biological sense, and the act of fornication) by “sex combs”. The forearms of the males have little “combs” (absent in females) that the males use to shove a big ol ball of sperm into the female.

You are welcome for this unasked bit of knowledge.

Anyone who paid attention in Biology class. All* animals have gamete-producing gonads.

*there’s weird exceptions, like sponges.

paddirn ,

One more reason for me to absolutely hate fruit flies.

Looks like cases are mostly being found on the east coast, and I luckily don’t live over there. Still, ew.
