Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never been sat on by a seagull it came up that she has never been sat on by a lizard. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a lizard.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life been sat on by a lizard.

Have you ever been sat on by a lizard?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

@datarama I have been sat on by a lizard. It was smol. It was the pet of our preacher at church when I was a kid.

One summer, preacher & his family were away for a month. My mom & I agreed to feed the lizard & *the snakes* while they were gone. (The snakes were also pets; we were not snake handlers.)

Once, while we were feeding said creatures and said lizard was sitting on me, lizard escaped. We could not find it.

Six weeks after preacher & fam came home, they found lizard still alive. Yay!

@courtcan Lizards are notorious escape artists! And snakes are even worse.

I'm happy to hear that the little lizard was found and in good health!
