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.

@missbullitt I would say no on both counts! Alligators aren't lizards*, and that alligator is clearly being sat on by a human, rather than sitting on a human.

*) Fun fact: Crocodilians and birds are actually more closely related to each other than either of them are to lizards! Crocodilians and birds are the only surviving members of the Archosauria order, which used to also contain all the dinosaurs. Lizards and snakes (the order Squamata) are a later branch off the big reptile family tree.
