I know it's a joke but turtles shells are part of their anatomy. You can't really have a shell-less turtle without it being dead. It'd be like removing a humans skin, spine and ribcage and expecting them to survive.

Ironically, in german, the german word for "turtle" (schildkröte) literally means "shield toad"

Is it ok to tell someone random that you like their tattoos, or is it weird? Once in the bus I got to stare at this guy's arm sleeves and some neck for a minute. It looked like he probably was covered head to toe and they were fantastically done. I wanted to say something, but I didn't, and then his stop came.

As a woman it entirely depends on the context, tone of voice & choice of words 🥴
my least favorite is when it comes from creepy old grandpa aged dudes, and my favorite is when it comes from little kids who get excited and think they’re “so cool!” 🥹😅

Don’t tell the cartels, they’ll catch them all to sell to gringos. Fully serious, cartels cause extinctions to sell the plants and animals up north.

He looks like he’s camouflaged to hide from predators on a road. He blends into the asphalt and has a yellow stripe.
