      It’s actually wrong. The girl smurf is the only one with a dick. The rest are drones and sexually female, except for Papa Smurf who was the last male. But if the girl smurf was gone, the lack of her pheromones would cause Papa Smurf to start producing sperm again, and the rest of them sensing that change would become breedable once more. Then they’d lay fertilized eggs underground, where they hatch with 5% becoming male. The males would gather a few drones and go start a new mushroom colony somewhere else.

      Popular, but rather silly theory claims that the smurf hats actually conceal a male sexual organ, while their trousers conceal female organ. According to that theory Smurfs reproduce communally via stacking where the whole tribe gets in a circle and copulates with each other. This is rather silly.

      Pure gold, thanks for sharing, I’ve learned something new (albeit disgusting) today

        Check out Clint’s Reptiles, he talks about this in great detail in many different videos. Our natural world is crazy…

          I love how physics and chemistry are like “this does this and this, except with extremely high energy this other thing can happen”

          But with biology it’s just “generally… this happens… but also this… and that… and that one we dont have a name for yet…”

          If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, eh… we’re not quite sure. Could be a distant kangaroo…

    The euphoria of Death?

    Red Cap Mushrooms are incredibly poisonous, and not even slightly hallucinogenic, except for maybe if you count the hallucinations caused by a brain starved of oxygen about to die.

      amanita muscaria is extremely poisonious but also possible to somewhat safely get high off of if you dose correctly. Its just an extremely terrible high that is not at all fun or enjoyable and youd be better off just doing legal drugs like alcohol or weed if your state doesnt suck.

      This isnt like a wink wink nudge nudge thing, legit do not do them. Its just being drunk with more brain damage.

      Don’t go eating random mushrooms, IDing them is hard and you can easily die!!! There are look alike species and it can be hard to tell them apart.

      That said I’ve eaten it before, they’re quite a nice flavour when fried.

      If it’s an amanita muscaria, they are somewhat poisonous but they’re also definitely psychoactive (I can’t remember if they’re hallucinogenic or a deliriant but it might be dose dependant). There are species of amanita that are incredibly poisonous, but the red capped muscaria can be dried or parboiled to be rendered relatively safe.

      I personally wouldn’t eat them trying to get high, there are better mushrooms with safer and much more fun things in them.
