    They are much more complex, than people know. The one at the bottom is even carrying money with it

    To be honest that is pretty distinctive behaviour.

      Yeah but I’m sure they’d rather be known for something else.

    Those little fuckers will destroy yr garden if you let them.

    You can leave beer out in a cooking pot and they’ll climb the walls then drown in it - but I don’t drink and don’t want to buy beer

    Sooooo you can capture 4 or 5 of them, cut them in half and impale them on skewers and line your garden Vlad-like and that will, I shit you not, scare the rest from coming in.

    Unfortunately, slug eggs are super fucking tiny and are just left random-where in the soil, so there’s nothing short of nuking the ground that we can do to get rid of them…so the staking continues.

    I remember salting those things with my grandpa in his garden when I was a kid.

    I also remember UCSC students cooking and eating them after the school adopted the banana slug mascot.

      Did they run out of, like, normal mascots?

          It seems they’ve changed its appearance

          to this

          smiling grey mascot looking like a grey tako hotdog

          from this

          mascot has deep green skin, large eyes with huge pupils, flat wide mouth, and looks creepy while holding a real geoduck that looks as a trunk growing from a clam at best

          The old one looked much more impressive

      Eating slugs sounds like a good way to get horrific parasites… I wouldn’t even trust one that’s been burnt to charcoal.

    As someone who is from Or*n, rofl. My parents even have a story about their dog from when I was a baby freaking out about a banana slug while we were camping.
