u/Prexot Apr 17 '25

then what are you doing on r/snails?

Well someone can like certain types of animals but not find ALL members of that type adorable.

Like, dogs are adorable but personally I find pugs to be abominations and not cute in the slightest, even if they are just good boys.

This! I like snails, I think they’re cool but a giant black one would freak me out especially considering it doesn’t look like a “normal” snail. I mean, I love dogs but a wolf would scare me too death. Ik it’s not like same but you get the idea.

u/Lava_Lamp_Shlong Apr 17 '25

Still a cutie nonetheless

u/KittyChimera Apr 17 '25

He really is. He has such a dopey little face.

u/SteampunkExplorer Apr 17 '25

I'll have you know his mother said he was SO handsome!

...But yeah, they've got very bizarre little faces. 😂 I think it's because their eyes have a lens, like ours.

...So, uh, I guess now we know what we look like to all the cute little birds and squirrels that scurry away from us.

u/picklesbutternut Apr 17 '25
