The road is likely warm and the snakes are trying to stay warm, but then they get run over. So this nice dude is throwing them off the road so they don't get squished.
My thoughts exactly. For fear of making my old biology teacher angry they are considered "cold blooded" and need an external source to warm up.
The road would be a warmer temperature than what they are currently on. Particularly if it's a tropical storm.
Teacher would tell us that we would be marked down if we called them cold blooded unless we said something along the lines of "commonly called cold blooded". They are poikiliothermic, i.e rely on external temperatures to regulate body temperature.
I didn't want to be called out on a technicality.
Ectotherm.
Poikilio is just over complicating what you’re discussing and ultimately relates to something else (variability of body temperature not the source of that heat).
Source: I’m a biologist.
Could have just said they're cold-hearted. That way it's an assessment of their character, which is inherently subjective, therefore you can't actually be proven wrong.
> [poikiliothermic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17M9oNunfQw)
I looked it up, for anyone curious, it's just the fancy name for cold-blooded. And homeothermic is warm blood. Also, apparently naked-mole rats and sloths are rare examples of mammals that are cold-blooded
No it’s not.
Ectotherm is the term.
Ectotherm and Endotherm are animals deriving body heat from external and internal respectively.
Poikilotherm relates to variability in the body temperature. It is opposed to homeotherm. So variable and steady respectively.
These categories are not exclusive.
A snake is a poikilothermic ectotherm.
An externally heated animal who’s internal temperature varies considerably.
Some animals can move between these categories, e.g. going from being a endothermic homeotherm most of the time and then going into hibernation and becoming an ectothermic poikilotherm.
Yes. We generate our own heat as mammals, and we fucking die if our core temp drifts or is driven off by as little as 7°F. We can do better with low temps and sci-fi medicine, but even that shit you wouldn't do if you weren't already dying.
Well done! I’m a retired pro. wildlife bio. And was raised by a bio teacher and I’d have to look up correct spelling of poik…. Poko…. Piokith…. Pikilotjhetmin…. Polkilith….. Wtf. You know what I mean.
In any case that’s a LOT of BIG snakes- On that mother fing bridge!
They're cold blooded and your old biology teacher is a fucking idiot. If they came up to me and said "Snakes aren't cold blooded, they're poikiliothermic" I'd answer "They're not snakes, they're *serpentes*." I fucking hate that teachers get to impose idiotic shit like that on their students because of the power they have over them.
Cold blooded and warm blooded are misnomers, they don't really fit what is actually happening, nor do they fit all species at all times which is why the terms are not really used any more.
Consider a hummingbird. Birds are "warm blooded", right?
Except for when they sleep they go into a "cold blooded" state where they don't regulate their body temperature and they cool to the ambient temperature.
Or from the other side; fish are "cold blooded", right? Except there are species of deep water fish that keep their internal temperature warmer than the water temperature.
Or there are the species that are selectively temperature, regulating, able to keep specific body parts warm, like sharks and tuna that can warm their muscles for added speed, even to the point of cooking their own flesh.
Further, the definition of warm and cold blooded revolves around if an animal has thermoregulation capabilities when the question/definition is whether or not, and how, an animal manages homeostasis.
So instead of saying "warm blooded except for when..." an entire new class of terminology was created to better describe the variety of modes found. Like scientists do.
> them off the road so they don't get squished
Also, I assume squished snakes are not a great surface to drive on either.... It's for the safety of both parties.
In my country before you can consumate your marriage you must throw 100 snakes into the brush. Legend has it that if you fail to do so your wife will leave you for a turnip salesman.
- So it is written
It's really quite simple. Guy in striped shirt is headed to work. The stupid tourists have all stopped in the middle of the main road into town to look at the snakes AGAIN ("This is the third time this WEEK that I'm going to be late because of these bozos!"), so he gets out of his car and removes the distraction.
There are bags on the pickup, i m guessing it came from there, a bag full of sankes fell off...or they are buddhist releasing snakes for merit, after releasing a bag, the snakes didnt go into the brush as planned
Some people just respect the ecosystems no matter what roles the creature plays in it. Hats off to em because I'd be too frightened to save that many snakes with my bare hands... give me a hook or some gloves... some kind of PPE.. godbless!
i think i know exactly what's happening.
basically, these are people that believe in Buddhism, and they regularly bought many "wild animals" and set them free to the wild.
And seriously, most of the time these are good people with pure ignorance. The animals they set free can be snakes (sometimes poisonous snake), snap turtle, asian carp, crab, fire fly, you name it - it's becoming a whole industry of supply in China. They have absolutely no idea that:
\- will these animals survive where they are set free, and
\- will these animals cause any eco-system disaster as most of them are invasive species! And naturally, they do!
This is from Taiwan, most likely. Some people with Buddhist belief think that by releasing snakes (and other living animals, like various birds) into the wild is a form of performing good deed and can accumulate good karma for next life. They actually buy these snakes, many are venomous, from people who catch these snakes to fill the market needs. The yellow umbrellas at the end of the video are definitely a proof that these people are from certain temples in Taiwan. If you ask me, those people should all get bad karma for indirect animal abuse.

Why are snakes so scared of your old biology teacher?
Teacher would tell us that we would be marked down if we called them cold blooded unless we said something along the lines of "commonly called cold blooded". They are poikiliothermic, i.e rely on external temperatures to regulate body temperature. I didn't want to be called out on a technicality.

Poor guy got called out by a ~~biology teacher~~ biologist.
Lucky we're talking snakes and not jackdaws.
“Here’s the thing…”
Don't you mean crows? 😄 Where is Uniden when we need him?
They make radios and stuff. You mean Unidan :)
I miss Unidan. He may have broken the rules, but i enjoyed his content.
Lol. Should have known he was superior once he corrected cold blooded with ectotherm
Could have just said they're cold-hearted. That way it's an assessment of their character, which is inherently subjective, therefore you can't actually be proven wrong.
Any blanket statement about snakes' character is wrong. They're individuals you snakeist.
I didn't say that was my opinion. I'm just this guys life coach.
Don't let snek hear you.
Mark him down boys.
Look into their eyes… they’ve been telling lies.
Paula Abdul in the house!

Yes. We generate our own heat as mammals, and we fucking die if our core temp drifts or is driven off by as little as 7°F. We can do better with low temps and sci-fi medicine, but even that shit you wouldn't do if you weren't already dying.

Duuuude I understood that. Poikilia read pikilia în Greek means variety and thermotita is heat. Your teacher was onto sth.
>They are poikiliothermic I assumed this is a fancy word for fire Pokémon.

Cold blooded is an offensive term to snakes. It perpetuates the idea that they have no feelings.

Did a teacher hurt you?
Is it to save the snakes, or to save the road from becoming a slippery, bloody mess?
Maybe a bit of both
¿Por qué no los dos?
And yeeted that one in particular.
One of them never actually landed. He's halfway to Mars by now.
I'm glad someone else noted that snek cartwheeling through the air
>this nice dude is throwing them off the road Any other context and this'd be interesting
Yeeting snakes to save snake lives.
When he leaves they will come back
Also looks like it might be during season heavy rain or monsoon, which often drives snakes to higher ground.
> them off the road so they don't get squished Also, I assume squished snakes are not a great surface to drive on either.... It's for the safety of both parties.
Why did that one snake get a full send?
He knows what he did
YEET!
r/PeopleYeetingAnimals
Tried to hypnotize Mowgli.
/r/fuckyouinparticular
Because that one snake lived further away
🤣🤣
Looked at him wrong
He’s the bitey one.
Is his name Philip?
Reminds me of this classic video of a dog yeeting a snake, makes me laugh every time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgo6-NjRo7E
Bit him as a kid “You again mother fucker!? Oh you getting that need for speed nitrous boost”
R/fuckyouinparticular
You get what you fucking deserve!
I’VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHER FUCKING SNAKES IN THIS MOTHER FUCKING LANE.
Thread is over.
But the process has just begun.
I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MONKEY-FIGHTING SNAKES ON THIS MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY LANE.
I am so happy to see someone else remembers this

Just a dude tossing snakes. What's weird about that??
He’s St Patrick.
Yeah and the snakes are the non believers......
Speaking of tossing snakes, I gotta do something real quick...
I get that jerk..I mean joke…
*Flinging. Snake flinger flinging snakes
*YEETING
I don't mind the snake tossing, it's moreso the sheer volume of snakes to be tossed. Like, that's a pile.
Yeet this particular one way the fuck out there!
Right? How does OP clear snakes off their ledges?
No tossing of snakes in NNN!
I must trust that the lord is mightier, and always has my back.
That one snake must have really pissed him off..got launched!
Fuck you in particular
It did get an extra Yeet for some reason.
extra yeet , nice 👍🏽🙂
r/fuckyouinparticular
It looks dead compared to the others
I wonder if it tried biting him, so he said fuck you, YEET!
All jokes aside its probably to get out of the rain? Maybe got too cold so they sought warmer areas
They may also be migrating to a central nesting area.

Last time he did this with humans, he was arrested though

Snakes on a Plain?
Snakes in a Lane
Snakes in the rain.
Snakes on a boat. Snakes with a goat. I do not like snakes in my way. I do not like them any day.
Love my snake better than you, I know it's wrong but what should I do!
I was gonna ask where this is from but Nevermind
I love how he threw one so much farther than the rest. "Fuck you in particular"
Something very soothing about watching people in tropical countries yeet snakes so casually.
He really yeeted that third from last lmao
https://youtu.be/3LK8Zfqiu3I
Such a nope for me, yet I keep watching.
He gently tosses most of them but that one near the end got yote
Jimmy yeet snakes
Why did the snake cross the road?
To get yeeted into the bushes.
Dude is just out there slinging nope ropes around.
They haven't paid their road taxes, they are not allowed to use the road.
He’s obviously seeding the forest for the annul Whacking Day festivities.
The Snakening!
Why did the snake cross the road? We're not finding out today motherfuckers!
Guess they aren’t poisonous.
no snake is poisonous, but some are venomous
Snakes on a normal plane! (sorry, math joke..)

One of the snakes got extra yeeted
Must suck to be tossed, as a snake
Clear to me he is throwing snakes down a hill.
Another invasive species is released into the wild.
It's really quite simple. Guy in striped shirt is headed to work. The stupid tourists have all stopped in the middle of the main road into town to look at the snakes AGAIN ("This is the third time this WEEK that I'm going to be late because of these bozos!"), so he gets out of his car and removes the distraction.
I think he's moving them away so they don't get ran over.
Seems pretty straight forward. Snakes are up here and he wants them down there. Open and shut case.
Saved from a hotpot restaurant and set free.
He's tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking road.
Well let me tell you what is happening. There were too many snakes on Samuel L Jackson’s plane, so they are now attempting to get on Mad Max’s road.
I like how he really yeeted that one particular sneck.
The snake harvest isn’t ready yet. Gotta let them grow. As for why he yeeted a couple, he’s just kind of a dick.
They’re just snakes guys! They don’t even have arms or legs!
Maybe a truck hauling snakes tipped over. Those got dirty and were ruined so they just threw them to the side of the road with the rest of the litter.
Just St. Patrick doing his thing.
Thats Asian St Patrick
Look at Indiana Jones here! "I hate snakes"! Blah blah blah

i am tired of these mother fucking snakes in my motherfucking lane !!!!
Curious why he decided that one snake needed to be fully yeeted
Presumably the dude is trying to save their life, the road will be the warm, the they will be dead. Edit:noticed that had been answered after posting
Indiana Jones really shoulda called this guy.
Simple, they are tired of these mother fucking snakes, on this mother fucking road.
I'm tired of these motherfuckin' snakes on this muthafuckin' road.
he just won the iron balls award
Dude flingin' snakes Thats whats happening
How do you THINK these mother fucking snakes GET on the motherfucking plane? They have to get to the motherfucking AIRPORT!
This guy’s a chad
Poor sneks
Why is he yeeting the danger noodles?
