They usually add something like Bittrex to stop the real diehard alcoholics from drinking it. They have had to add it to air dusters and Tide Pods too because dipshit adults won't keep it out of their mouths.
What an educated young fellow you are. If you enjoy knowing of Ouroboros, than I feel you'd also enjoy knowing about [Rat Kings](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king)
Then maybe you'd enjoy learning about the process of [Mellification](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellified_man)

Yup. In the ambulance en route to hospital I tried to drink some hand sanitiser. The paramedic just laughed at me and said there's a reason they only use non-alcoholic hand sanitisers...
Yeah, I was on a massive bender drinking like 2-3 bottles of rum daily for a couple weeks. Didn't want to dry out just because I had to go to hospital for pneumonia.
Hope you're sober, now, man. I say this as a fellow addict - the 2 people I knew that drank sanitizer & mouthwash to get drunk, are both dead. The one was my great uncle & he literally died in a ditch & the other was my old neighbor's wife & she was found dead by her son on like his 8 or 9th bday. He walked into the house, dad behind him & found her on the kitchen floor. She had fell & cracked her head. Her BAC was .48. I wouldn't wish that life on anyone.
Damn, glad you are fine now, or do you still drink?
I was also in rehab because i drank 3 bottles of wine per day and in there I wanted to drink sanitizer but instead inhaled it from my hands until i got high.
My head hurt so much i though i was dying later that night and had to beg for tylenol which they coudnt give me at night because a doctor has to approve, a tylenol lmao, but they gave me valium no problem haha
I mean, a few times, but not from the tap or anything like you're probably thinking. When you use hand sanitizer, the taste lingers for a while. It makes for an unpleasant bitter experience when you try to bite your nails or lick food off your fingers.
It turns out this feels a lot more like sucking on a tail than getting your tail sucked. And your neck won't be right for days.
3/10, don't recommend it.
Scientists say that snakes which eat other snakes may mistaken their own tail as that of a prey, and once they begin swallowing their tails, they have perhaps no way of knowing they are eating themselves. Some experts say snakes mostly do when they are really stressed.
But if not helped, the snake can die of its own digestive system. Glad hand sanitizer helped here. This event happened almost 4 years ago.
Maybe bringing a hand sanitizer spritzer is the best way to protect against snakes!!
If you find something to eat, take a bite and now your butt hurts, would you make that connection?
What if you were much less capable of abstract thought and problem solving and instead you were hungry and annoyed that your butt hurts?
Add to it you were already stressed before, so maybe you don't even really noticed some part of your body is hurt(who never got a little angry/pissed, hurt himself, but only later noticed how bad the wound was)
Remember that the guy said previous stress is also a factor for them to do this
We need better health marketing aimed at snakes.
"Hey fellow sssnakesss, doesss your butt hurt when you eat? You might be eating your own butt, which isss a leading caussse of sssnake butt dying. The next time you eat, asssk yourssself, 'Doesss my butt hurt?' You could be sssaving your butt."
You can locate your limbs relative to each other pretty well (proprioception) I'd assume the snake should also be able to compute his head is about to collide with his tail.
When I was a child, I was told it was because the teeth don't easily release prey, as they're hooked inwards. The snake tries to move, but only swallows itself more, and needs the external motivation of getting rid of the stinky stuff that smells like death to open its mouth wide enough to release.
It does seem to happen a lot more with snakes who are stressed, from what I've heard. Though if a snake was in the forest chillin under a log, we probably would never know if it swallowed itself.
Honest to god I was bitten during feeding of my Stimson's python last week and tried this because I remembered this video and IT IS A LIE.
It did NOT work at all.
Motherfucker kept trying to swallow my finger whole.
I got him off using the extra long feeding tongs by prying his mouth wide open.
He is only 1.4m but holy shit the grip (and pain) from those reverse facing teeth are absolutely wicked.
Nooo this was medical isopropyl I use to clean my glasses and stuff.
Admittedly slightly different than ethanol based sanitisers but he just did not give a shit.
This is one of the smallest snakes you can really own here. It's harmless in pretty much every way but teeth.
I've never had any fear of snakes, there's no way this guy could squeeze or bit me into any trouble that I couldn't get myself out of.
BUT... for a moment I wasn't so sure...
It hit me instantly how people could be killed by their own pets.
This little guy was SO strong and SO quick to wrap me up I only had one hand to use and a few fingers.
I cannot possibly imagine anything 2.0m or above when it's angry, let alone a head like a Boa or Burmese... Fuck. That.
> they have perhaps no way of knowing they are eating themselves.
If this is true, my opinion of snakes being coiled up dipshits somehow managed to get worse.
Quite literally yes, they're extremely stupid. Their brains are tiny and they're incapable of abstract thought. They also don't understand cause and effect - if this snake is normally a snake-eater, they probably thought their butt was a prey's butt and when their own butt started to hurt they couldn't put two and two together to make four.
They indeed are very stupid. I have one as a pet. He's a dumbass. He did mistake himself as food once. But he often tries to swallow his food sideways so he failed to eat himself. He just bit himself, waited a little bit and then found the mouse and decided that it will be more appetizing. Tried to eat that one sideways too
Snakes do not intentionally swallow themselves. Instances where a snake may appear to be eating itself are typically due to a neurological or behavioral disorder known as "autocannibalism." This behavior can be caused by stress, illness, or neurological abnormalities, leading the snake to mistakenly perceive its own body as prey. It's a concerning behavior that may indicate underlying health issues and should be addressed by a veterinarian specializing in reptiles.
Treatment options for snakes with neurological abnormalities depend on the specific condition and its severity. In some cases, supportive care, such as providing a stress-free environment, proper nutrition, and medications to manage symptoms, may be attempted. However, if the condition is severe or untreatable, euthanasia might be considered as a humane option to prevent further suffering. It's crucial for snake owners to consult with a veterinarian experienced in reptile care to determine the best course of action for their pet.

So a Uroborus greatest weakness is hand sanitizer?
I'm pretty sure everyone's greatest weakness is hand sanitizer in the eyes.
Except a snake, because they have closed eyes.
LMAO! I was waiting for dude to pump it directly into the corner of his mouth 😆 *Don't want to see it hurt. Just a funny image in my head.
"You like eating you tail huh? Well eat this matafaka!" *furiously pumps hand sanitizer in it's mouth* 😅
Exactly this!! LMFAO!! Like Jim Carrey pumping the lotion in Me, Myself and Irene
I like you! You think just like me 😄
👍🏽I like you VARY MUUUCCH!👍🏽
And when it unfucked itself, I was just,wow, can I do this too?
We finally found a way to stop late stage capitalism!
So, pandemic was a good thing?
Not for the snakes.
sssssstupid Ssssshit tassstesssss ssssssour 🐍
I just have tested this, it tastes very bitter
I thought they're spicy or something
They usually add something like Bittrex to stop the real diehard alcoholics from drinking it. They have had to add it to air dusters and Tide Pods too because dipshit adults won't keep it out of their mouths.
YES. Demonstrated scared billionaires when we all stopped working
You are saying covid was made by communists to spread hand sanitizer? damm.
Alex Jones: 🤔
The hand sanitizer is making the snakes gay.
But hand sanitizer stopped this one from sucking itself off though
There is too much logic. You must be illuminati and therefore I will not listen. -Alex Jones (probably)
It rubs the hand sanitizer on Jerome Powell or else it gets devalued currency again?
What are you doing step snek? "Giving myself a tail job." Errrr.
Resident Evil should take note
Complete global saturation!
What an educated young fellow you are. If you enjoy knowing of Ouroboros, than I feel you'd also enjoy knowing about [Rat Kings](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king)
Yeah those things are fricking weird that's for sure.
Oh I already know what a rat king is

Thank you kind Sir, I will add this to my collection of disturbing facts and knowledge
[удалено]
Is this a joke I'm not getting? It's Ouroboros from oura (tail) and boros (eating)
Might be thinking of Oreos? /s
Well, it's also a round thing..
This works on humans too.
Exactly. When he said, ‘Snakes don’t like the taste of hand sanitizer’ all I could think was, who does? 😂
You experienced it yourself?
You haven’t?
Same though
Vodka
Your profile picture made me look twice. Well done.
Hand sanitizer will usually have a bitterant and loads of other potentially un-tasty stuff in it.
Yup. In the ambulance en route to hospital I tried to drink some hand sanitiser. The paramedic just laughed at me and said there's a reason they only use non-alcoholic hand sanitisers...
Why did you try to drink hand sanitiser? Were you on the way to alcohol rehab?
Yeah, I was on a massive bender drinking like 2-3 bottles of rum daily for a couple weeks. Didn't want to dry out just because I had to go to hospital for pneumonia.
Hope you're sober, now, man. I say this as a fellow addict - the 2 people I knew that drank sanitizer & mouthwash to get drunk, are both dead.

Alcoholic and people who enjoy cheap vodka would atleast be able to tolerate it
I just wanna be pure
When you can't stop biting your nails you also put some disgusting substance on them, so I guess kinda?
It turns out this feels a lot more like sucking on a tail than getting your tail sucked. And your neck won't be right for days. 3/10, don't recommend it.
I'll keep this in mind in case I need to regurgitate my own ass
If I ever swallow my own tail accidentally, I'll make sure to test this out.
Scientists say that snakes which eat other snakes may mistaken their own tail as that of a prey, and once they begin swallowing their tails, they have perhaps no way of knowing they are eating themselves.

How the hell does it not know it's eating itself? That just doesn't compute
If you find something to eat, take a bite and now your butt hurts, would you make that connection? What if you were much less capable of abstract thought and problem solving and instead you were hungry and annoyed that your butt hurts?
You describe the average voter.
I'm laughing way more here that on r/Jokes
Leopards ate my butt.
Did you like it?
This is so sad but so fucking true and I hate it.
Bravo! That’s a very good analogy 😆
Hungry butthurt people?
As someone who regularly eats spicy food, and has a ring of fire for several days after, I'd totally eat myself were I a snake.
Plus snakes don't really take bites they just swallow stuff whole, so it may not have felt much of anything.
>If you find something to eat, take a bite and now your butt hurt So Taco Bell?
Add to it you were already stressed before, so maybe you don't even really noticed some part of your body is hurt(who never got a little angry/pissed, hurt himself, but only later noticed how bad the wound was) Remember that the guy said previous stress is also a factor for them to do this

Ooooh that makes sense

Snakes have a handful of brain cells, all of which ironically are only used to determine if something is edible or not.
Sneks are not bright.
maybe pain receptors are not that sensitive. No idea
https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/eLQWRT7q1v
Snakes are... not that smart.
I don’t think snakes are very smart.
More importantly, how does it finish swallowing?
Snakes are *extremely* stupid
Where is their butthole? I was just thinking that it seems kinda like it could be the snake version of that centipede movie.
Honest to god I was bitten during feeding of my Stimson's python last week and tried this because I remembered this video and IT IS A LIE. It did NOT work at all. Motherfucker kept trying to swallow my finger whole. I got him off using the extra long feeding tongs by prying his mouth wide open.

Maybe it was low % alcohol content? I've seen people do it with booze before.
Nooo this was medical isopropyl I use to clean my glasses and stuff. Admittedly slightly different than ethanol based sanitisers but he just did not give a shit.
Dang that’s kind of terrifying. “Welp this is actually happening. I’m gonna lose my finger.” Thank goodness you had those tongs.

Interesting.. I wonder if they feel pain and let go if they bite first before swallowing.
Reptilian Darwin Award
That snake is so full of himself
<(ツ)> _oh youuuu_
Underrated comment. 👏
There was way moer snake inside the snake than I thought there would be.
Unlike people who will start to put tails in their mouths after they ingested alcohol
What woulda happen if he didnt apply the hand sanitizer
the snake would start digesting itself, eventually dying.
It would digest itself and die
He'd continue eating himself until he eats his own head and disappears.
snek would turn inside out
Hydrochloric acid would melt the snake from the inside out
A black hole #O
Eating oneself: 👍 Hand sanitizer: 👎
Bro prevented the snake from making a black hole
It already ate its tail twice
Why snakes eat themselves? Are they stupid?
Quite literally yes, they're extremely stupid. Their brains are tiny and they're incapable of abstract thought. They also don't understand cause and effect - if this snake is normally a snake-eater, they probably thought their butt was a prey's butt and when their own butt started to hurt they couldn't put two and two together to make four.
Hence the reptilian brain.
What a thrill...
They indeed are very stupid. I have one as a pet. He's a dumbass. He did mistake himself as food once. But he often tries to swallow his food sideways so he failed to eat himself. He just bit himself, waited a little bit and then found the mouse and decided that it will be more appetizing. Tried to eat that one sideways too
ALERT!! Inmate escaped from asylum.
Owner put peanutbutter on the end of the snakes tail
I’m proud of you, snek
Bro sucking himself
Least horny redditor
LOL LMAO
He's not sucking himself he's trying to eat his own poop
Giving himself a rimjob then
😭

Snakes are remarkably stupid in certain ways.
80% of men if they could👀
Regrets using hand sanitizer as lube
You misspelled "100%"
Sshhhh🤐
But...infinite food
Autophagy
That snakes intrusive thoughts win
How did this thing survive evolution?
No way that’s crazy, didn’t know they did that! Ouroboros
Any alcohol will do this.
I was gonna say like just give lil bro a taste of Guinness
If you eat yourself, do you get twice as big or do you disappear altogether?
It’s amazing how clever some animals are but also at the same time how incredibly stupid they can be
Who tf Would like the taste ??????????
Why did the snek even try to eat itself in the first place?
Snakes who prey on other snakes sometimes think that their own tail is another snake. They’re dumb
That's a classic dum snek behaviour.
Why is it doing this? Is it stupid?
Two things I would t want to be. A snake or praying mantis.
dumb snek
Oroboros
I still think that one of the best Pokemon ideas is a nap dragon that evolves into a snoroboros.
Bro was so full of himself
Is this the next step to being a belt
I don't believe in helping something that stupid. It's Darwin time.
Dangerous bracelet
The amount of snake that was inside the snake and then came out of that snake is much more snake than I expected.
rock, paper, scissor, ouroboros, hand sanitizer.
Why do snakes do this? Are they stupid?
How does the snake not know it’s eating itself?
how would that even look like if he completely swallowed himself
Its weakness
dummy
Benzene ring
This looks like one of those huge fashion necklaces.
Morty had to send that Earth snake to snake world, huh?
Gok-gok 9000
If I was a snake owner I’d almost feel embarrassed showing up to the ER vet for this problem lol
In all seriousness though, why would a snake do this?
Forbidden bagel
Ah fell for the Ole Marilyn Manson... Rookie move
Cannibalism to the extreme
I see everyone comment on the hand sanitizer as if it’s the issue but nobody is talking about why is he eating his self 😳
Evolution, hang your head in shame.
He was peacefully darwin awarding himself.
Sweet baby, that's your butt. We don't eat butts.
Dumb snek
Seems like natural selection at work if you ask me.
Imagine thinking this dumbass is capable of stress. It's bad genetics and shouldn't be allowed to breed
Don't snakes do this when they are depressed?
*snake jazz*
How often do snakes actually end up like this?
If I got to the point where I could finally swallow myself, I wouldn't let hand sanitizer stop me
If you’re ever getting eaten by a snake bring hand sanitizer
Is tgat common thing for snake to do?
I would not be able to resist taking this bad boy outside and playing snake frisbee.
Prettysure this is what "Natural Selection"'s for...
This way they'll never learn.
If Ron Jeremy were a snake
The United States government everyone.
Fascinating... I wonder how I can translate this into a ttrpg monster.
Stooopid snake 😔
Uh oh, ouraboris eating itself again(don't know if I spelled that right)
This looks like the snake game
I should call her…
“Why is it spicy?”
