I suggest a making that sort of announcement after the missile delivery has already been made. Perhaps even some time after the launch. But hey, I'm not a high level military strategist, so what do I know.

I had to check...It appears the scientific consensus is that snails can sense light, like lightning, and vibrations, like thunder, including in the human visual and auditory ranges, and more, through several tissues:

The Snail’s Sensory Organs

Snails do not have ears like humans or many other animals. However, they do have sensory organs that allow them to detect vibrations, changes in pressure, and some sound waves. Here are the main sensory organs of a snail:

        Tentacles – The two tentacles on a snail’s head contain sensory organs called ommatophores. These can detect chemical cues in the environment, as well as some vibration and movement.
    Eyes – Snails have two sets of eyes – the larger, lower eyes can sense light and dark, while the smaller, upper eyes can detect movement.
    Osphradium – This sensory organ behind the snail’s head can detect chemical stimuli in water. It is thought to help with sensing predators.
    Body – A snail’s body can sense vibrations through sensory cells in their skin and shell. Their soft bodies amplify vibrational signals.


  

While snails do not have ears, their combination of sensory organs does allow them to detect some sounds and vibrations in their environment.

I'd like to know, what, if anything, is the snail thinking about the storm.

and my bow.

First thing to come to my mind.

I just tried to check Pixelfed.social. It's down. I'm able to post this from Fedia.io. Yay!

DANG!

I'm going to imagine that cucumbers may have gone thru some changes since 1850BC - sheesh that seems like a long time ago. How cool is that, tho', that we are discussing a nearly 4000 year old artifact!

LoL

We've been deceived! How about a banana, for scale, next time OP? If that's 3.5 inches (10.5 barley corns), then it's girth (lol) or more properly diameter, is about 3/4" (just over 2 barley corns).

I was curious, as I know left, democratic, progressive people who live in OK. Here are some links related to gerrymandering in OK

tl;dr - OK is gerrymandered AF. As the low effort / informationally sparse post above clearly demonstrates.

I just saw a quote from Michelle Obama, along the lines of the US isn't ready for a woman president. MO might be correct, so yeah let's have MTG run for pres. to dilute the GOP votes.

No.

Bingo!

Pride every month!

Another frivolous lawsuit, wasting time and money. what a bunch of goofballs.

42 million of them. How many will die of hunger before they get approved?

Accessory after the fact, perhaps?

Elbows Up!

Tho' an atheist, I'll be praying vigorously for the hornet's.
