PIcking up platypi is, per my experience, right up there with quicksand as far as frequency of encounters is concerned. I’m not saying it won’t happen, but if I do have to pick up a platypus, and there’s some quicksand around then I’m gonna go buy a lottery ticket, if you see what I mean.
*platypussies
platypodes
Unironically correct, but also very funny.
what no i’m not allowed to be correct fuck
Do you also say, “octopussies”?
Every chance I get.
Not to be confused with the elusive cocktopus
One day we’ll find this mythical being, there are top men on the case, and also bottom men
Oh, a Roger Moore fan?
The correct spelling is “platypuses”, you degenerates.

Is this true? Can someone confirm? I wouldn’t like to grab a platypus this way only to find out it was a troll and get spurred.
This will surely come in handy next time I have to do this.
They’re venomous
On they feet
encounters with wild animals should always happen on their terms not yours!
That sounds a lot like something a seagull would say.
I don’t know if this is correct about platypuses, but this IS generally how you handle snapping turtles and you are much more likely to deal with one of those.
Their dangerous trick has nothing to do with their legs though. It’s their neck. It is very long, very flexible, and fast. If you hold them the wrong way, they can hit you with a reach-around that is very much not the friendly sex move.
