The shrew gets to lap up some sweet nectar, which is also a laxative.
It grows next to shrew bars and microbreweries
microshreweries
Ni! Ni! Ni!
Ecky, Ecky, Ecky, Pakang, Zoom-ping.
Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!
Imagine if toilets had candy dispensers
Many pitcher plants produce nectar as a lure.
Not sure about shrews, but some animals hide their feces because the scent can let predators know where they are.
Where do these grow? Why are insects scarce? Is it cold?
Scat plants. Thank god we can't hear them speak. Who knows what they have to say.
Probably something like
"Ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da-dub-dub Ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da-dub-dub"
Or maybe
"Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-bop-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-ba-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda-bope"
listen to more al jarreau
"Everybody's saying that the Scatplant stutters
But doesn't ever stutter when he sings
But what you don't know, I'm gonna tell you right now
That the stutter and the scat is the same thing, yo
I'm the Scatplant"
Is this a skibidi toilet?
I am a shrew
I see a leaf
With yummy nectar for a feast
I lick the glue
But I feel funny
I've got a rumbly in my tummy
Good, it's true
It has a hole
Wide like shrew-shaped toilet bowl
And so I poo
I feel no sorrow
I'll come and lick this plant tomorrow
this here is the reason I pay for the internet
thank you
Imagine if we could grow toilets?
Dune probably had a variant of chairdogs for that.
literally these guys from the All Tommorows book
That looks like something from Codex Seraphinianus.
Wouldn't it be the Colonials?
I pick shrew 2
Center loo gets the win!
Bono was briefly into these.
That's right, U2 grew a shrew loo.
Who knew?
What a way to make a living!
Ribbed for their pleasure
