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.

	Yes
	No

@datarama No, each lizard had its own zip code. 🦎 🐊

@lydialurch I've been sat on by two lizards simultaneously (two green anoles).

But my life total lizard-sitting-on-me-count is, uh, high. I think I'd be Lizards Georg in that meme.

@datarama I might need to see that meme or your reference is lost on me. Why have so many lizards chosen you to sit upon? Do you have pockets full of crickets? 😄

I only have a handful of experiences as a lizard cushion, but every one was a different kind including salamander, gecko, iguana, monitor, and a couple of others I couldn’t identify at the time. They were all quite pleasant. No seagulls have ever tried to sit on me though, and I’m not sure I’d trust one not to do the bad thing.

@lydialurch As for the meme I was referring to, it's:

"average person eats 3 spiders a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted".

(I think I'm an outlier in being a lizard cushion. :) )

@datarama Ah, yes. That rings a bell. I’m laughing for real. 🤣

I’ve been a snake perch as well, more than a few times. Not sure why, but they have a calming effect on me when we can just chill together like they did old school. (Eden.)
