In german there is only one word for it, which is a gift for german speakers.
Literally Gift or giftig.
Same in Norway with “gift”. Also, the same word is used for “married”.
Yep, seen this one before, by the standards outlined it means that:
Lava is poisonous and Bears are venomous.
Hmm, I was going to say there’s a chance you survive biting lava - but technically there’s also a chance you survive biting something poisonous.
So yeah, flawless logic. The most poisonous and venemous things happen to be the pure unbridled power of the earth and 900lbs of muscle and hungry.
Chomp!
Froakie is unable to battle!
Aw, it works on my end. They’re Marvel’s Venom and Final Fight’s Poison sprites.
On removing this part,
/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/163?cb=20130819202120, it works in my case.
Dunno about others.
Images are always tricky with the different ways people view Lemmy.
Yeah. In my case, the thumbnails from mander.xyz posts don’t show up because the web UI I use, requests the picture converted to a webp format, which mander’s server doesn’t understand (the request).
So, in case I want to see the picture, I have to get the link and open it separately and remove the extra query part, to see the image. Or I could the inspector tool to change the URL value inline.
I knew something was up. We’re onto you /u/fossilesque
Can’t pull a fast one on you lot smh
What if I put poison on my teeth, bite someone and they die?
Can something be both poisonous and venomous at the same time?
Good question. Not an expert. Or even a amateur. But yea eating the venom can’t be good.
Aren’t those frogs also venomous? The natives use their toxin for tipping their hunting darts and arrows.
The toxins are excreted through their skin, and adhere with the oils that keep their skin moist. It is a defense that keeps other animal from eating/touching them. They are not really facilitated to bite as a defense. They pull prey in, and their mouth mostly crushes, and is used to swallow.
I meant that if we’re saying it’s venom when it kills you by it being introduced to your bloodstream, then their poison is also venom.
Afaik they all kill you by being introduced into your bloodstream, the difference is mainly how they’re able to accomplish getting there. So any poison will kill you if you inject it, but venom will mostly be safe to eat barring any wounds.
From the Natural History Museum UK website -
The hallmark of venom is that it’s introduced via a wound. It can be injected through a number of means, including teeth, a sting, spines or claws. ‘Poison is different as there is no wound involved. It can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin, inhaled or ingested,’
This explains the name poison ivy.
