Important question: did they get it?

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 20 points 2 years ago

Well, did they get the snake or not?

[–] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

It was the only way to be sure.

[–] Nusm@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

At least the family didn't discover the snake on the plane amidst many snakes on the plane.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It could have been worst, they could have discovered a plane on the snake amidst many planes on the snake.

I thought this level reaction was reserved only for spiders

Depends on the kind of snake, right?
