Idk if this anatomy is accurate for terrestrial snails too, but to be fair for aquatic snails the turds float away immediately.

„Darm“ is German for "intestines“ that’s the Weinbergschnecke, or Roman/Borgundy/Edible snail in English. They breathe where they shit….

What a nasty fate…and yet people put them in their mouth.

Nikls94@lemmy.world on 07 Jul 10:18 collapse

They’re actually quite delicious! And tender! People who say that their consistency is “like chewing gum” never actually ate them. They’re super tender like the most tender filet you’ve ever had. And it they only taste of the compound butter they’re served with.

They might taste like all gods have a party in my mouth, I’d still prefer to not eat them. Not judging your food or eating-habits, but I just hate eating disgusting stuff 😁

Understandable. I try to eat everything that won’t kill me 👄

Says someone whose urinary tract is combined with reproductive organs

lvxferre@mander.xyz on 07 Jul 07:46 next collapse

I was almost mentioning that.

By Darwin, Huxley and Haldane: why are our playgrounds the same organs as the garbage ducts? Why???

match@pawb.social on 07 Jul 07:50 collapse

i guess because the urethra is prone to urinary tract infections so it’s kept away from the bacteria-expunger and put with the Goal Of All Evolution device

T156@lemmy.world on 07 Jul 09:56 collapse

Urine probably also helps flush things out too, so you don’t need to deal with as many infections from bacteria who also want a share of the nutrient slime gametes get.

do people really think that’s particularly terrible? if anything i quite appreciate the ability to flush out the pipes

TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world on 07 Jul 17:30 collapse

If you think about it, organs that serve dual purpose for excretion and sex is disgusting. You’re doing oral where pee also comes out. Most people don’t think this is terrible because speciesm. We think possessing anus hanging over one’s face is disgusting. But if snails could talk, they would say it is disgusting to have sex where your organs also just peed.

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de on 07 Jul 18:43 next collapse

but poo is actually nasty, it has pathogens and is intensely revolting to most people

whereas pee is fairly inoffensive and mostly just becomes gross by association with gross people or by sitting around for days on end so bacteria can fester in it

You’re doing oral where pee also comes out.

Different canals, at least for females, but in close proximity, yes.

If they’re in water the poop actually just floats over their head like a hat

You should see how they lay eggs. Lots of people find it cursed but I like it. I’m partial to snails, i have a pet snail named Gail
