This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I thought I recognized you.

From the photos on your mothers walls.

From when I visit her.

For sexual relations.

I have sex with your mother.

Looks can be somewhat genetic, dad.

It also gets so upset if you see it that it dissolves itself with its tears. I love squonk

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I want to give the squonk a hug.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It probably feels super gross tho

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

And if you squeeze him too hard some of his sores will rupture

Why stop at a hug?

Genesis wrote a song about it on their album “A Trick of the Tail”

Steely Dan also mention it in “Any Major Dude Will Tell You”

Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins is about this creature too

If there isn't a minor league baseball team in Pennsylvania called the Squonks, someone needs to get on that right away.

Aww it's kind of cute

I think I took one of these home from a bar in Allentown once back in undergrad.

Finally, my spirit animal.

There's a lot of fun cryptids in that region. Apart from the Pennsylvania White Bigfoot, there's the snallygaster and the dewayo. I think the former is because there's a lot of herons in the area, and the latter is your standard "omg a weird bear" cryptid.

I think that's my spirit animal

Looks like a section of intestine.

"Have you ever seen a squonks tears? Well, look at mine."

Poor guy just trying to live his life.
