Fake. Anon managed to not get bitten. Gay. Snake charmer is clearly a euphemism.

Humans are the best animal when it comes to exerting movement forces on objects (throwing, rotating, etc.), so I am not sure about not being bitten. Can’t argue about the euphemism, though.

Well he only realised it’s a snake after grabbing it so methinks both were surprised.

I think you’re right. Man I wish this story was true. Sorry snake.

Snakes apparently have a reaction time of 30 to 50 milliseconds, while the average human has a reaction time of 200 milliseconds. The snake would have bitten him and ran away before he would have had the opportunity to lift it from the ground.

Reaction time != time to strike in this situation. The snake would first have to assess the situation - say you picked it up so the head points away, it would either have to launch it’s upper body up vertically to strike (probably not that easy/fast) or turn around to be able to strike the kid.

Let’s settle on “far-fetched”. As for the “gay” part, I assume we’re all in agreement. Let’s move on to the next shitpost, shall we?
