screenshot of a (fake) tweet by @UberFacts with text: "facts" posted on UberFacts are rarely factual.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_(snail)

these two snails mated with each other instead, producing 170 right-coiled snails. One of the left-coiled snails later mated with Jeremy, producing 56 offspring, all of which also had right-coiling shells.

they also omitted this crucial detail:

Jeremy was named after the left-wing British Labour politician Jeremy Corbyn, on account of it being a "lefty" snail, but also due to Corbyn's reported love of gardening.

Oh, to live in a polycule of 173 left leaning snails

You can't love gardening and snails, they're opposing forces

A perfect origin story of a villain.

Jeremy then goes on a crime spree, but he was caught early on because he is a snail… with a left-coiled shell. The shell prints at the crime scenes helped narrow it down to him instantly.

Jeremy and their other two potential partners. But these two have an alibi. Seems like they had a shell of a time (⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■⁠)

Take all of your things and get out.

In shell
Drawing pictures
Of fence tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Eyestalks raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of pale blue below

Scientists tried to give attention
To the fact that his shell turned left
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world, but

Jeremy didn't get laid today
Jeremy didn't get laid today

Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little mollusc
Oh, but we unleashed a hedgehog
Gnashed his radula
Shot darts at mantles
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise bump
My shell left hurtin'
Oh, tipped right over
Just like the day
Like the day I heard

Scientists tried to give affection
But the boy was something the others wouldn't mate
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world

Jeremy didn't get laid today
Jeremy didn't get laid today
Jeremy didn't get laid today

Try to forget this... (try to forget this)
Try to erase this... (try to erase this)
From the postdoc paper

Jeremy didn't get laid today
Jeremy didn't get laid today

Perfection!

Perfect candidate for the immortal snail that would be out to get you.

With the decoy snail sidekick of course.

Jeremy the incel in shell

Why cant they just have a love triangle

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

Based on a source from another comment, they kinda did.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

i don't think they'd like performing in front of an audience. it's hard, you see, for a snail to come out of its shell.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

yeah can snails only have sex once?

And thus was born the tragic song lyric, "Jeremy spoke in class today."

I was referring to everyone compatible with me mating with each other not me ..

BUT coincidentally I do.

This is one Jeremy who didn't hit it with a surprise left...
