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:

I'd like to know, what, if anything, is the snail thinking about the storm.
I reckon he's thinking "ah heck I didn't bring an unbrella"
Probably the opposite, i guess it vibes because its getting hydrated
With the extra water it may even go into turbo mode later
So much interesting and unique knowledge here on Lemmy. I love it
Snail facts are always better enjoyed with syntax highlighting
Hmm this is interesting perhaps I should leave a sign out asking them to stay off the path after 10pm so I don’t tread on the poor buggers when I put the bins out 🤔
