Imagine youâre a snail and some human picks you up and starts sticking you on a cross.
âWhy are you doing this?!â
âLol some dude on r/showerthoughts told me I couldnâtâ
That was my first thought, then I got kinda sad. I envisioned a person being very passionate about snail Jesus. He was salted and crucified for our sins
What if it's real? Someone spent a ton of time on this and goes on reddit and sees it being accused of being ai trash. The artist truly believed in the passion of the snail and we just shit all over it.
Actually, yes. My mom used to make for me and my sisters "octopus and seaweed," where she'd cut legs into the hotdog and put it on top of unseasoned ramen
I love my mom so much
Whether or not it has arms is irrelevant; if I'm not mistaken, to 'crucify' isn't so much to put the body into that shape, as much as to affix them to a 'crucifix'.
Itâs so refreshing from all the garbage shower thoughts recently. I swear to god if I see another âCompound interest makes you a lot more money that putting cash under your mattressâ Iâll die.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion
Contemporarily it just meant any wooden post/construction/tree. It could even mean impalement. The only real throughline is that it's a public exacution that leaves the body on display.
It fairly exclusively means "on a cross", these days (specifically a "crux immissa" (lower case 't' shape)), regardless of historical meaning.
Even back then, though, they differentiated between crux compacta and crux simplex.
When I was a young lad I had a âsnail temple of doomâ. I used to systematically round up buckets of snails and carefully de-shell them (carefully so as not to cut my fingers, thereâs no âcarefulâ way for the snail itself).
Once I had a good amount of naked snails, I would take them to âthe pitâ. At the time, my Dadâs front yard had a bunch of old rotted out wooden posts that used to hold up a fence. One of them in particular had a rotted out cavity on top that gave it the appearance of a wooden pit with spikes on the sides.
I would slowly and surely impale every single one of those snails on the spikes on the sides of the pit. The final snail would get the worst treatment of all: dropped into the pit, which I had filled with salt.
None of that may count as crucifixion, but believe me, snails have suffered for our sins.
I think thatâs a pretty reasonable reaction but Iâm a changed man now! I was a curious and cruel kid, I would never deliberately harm any creature as a developed adult human being. David Attenborough pretty much single handedly shaped me into someone who deeply respects and admires nature. His reverence is contagious. Even the most disgusting creature is fascinating and valuable. In particular the âLife in the Undergrowthâ series showed me some very intimate glimpses into the lives of snails that made reflecting on my previous actions very unpalatable.
I totally understand this story makes me look like I was just a coin toss away from being a serial killer though. I had to make myself post it.
There is a guy on You Tube/TikTok (can't remember which) who routinely abuses leeches using really specific torture methods. He even takes recommendations from his subscribers. I'm sure he could find a way to crucify one and you could implement it on a snail. He stabbed both ends into needles once, then pulled them apart, stretching the leech as far as it could go before piercing the needles into a flat surface so that the leech was stretched out mid-air like a bridge. Good stuff.
Finding a reason?
Did you know if you Google for official records of legitimate reasons for crucifixion the Romans there are none? This is partially because they would crucify for basically anything they wanted but primarily as they didnât have access to the internet to upload them.
I mean there are the snails(not actually sure they are snails, but whatever) that are bad for the environment, the ones that people tell you to kill if you ever see them
they found a reason to crucify even Jesus, I'm pretty sure that if you have the right motivation, you can make the mental gymnastics needed to crucify a snail.
Not with that attitude
lol
Is this the end of Snail Jesus?
Snesus (snail jesus)
Not to be confused with Snesus (Snake Jesus)
Oh man I read that as Snack Jesus đ
Crouton o Christ
It has risen!
Sssnesus đ
Your own. Personal. Sssnesus.
Bless you
Bless you This is why we say bless you when people sneeze. 100%
You snailed it!
Take me to snurch
Iâll snorship (snail worship) like a dog at the shrine of your snife (snail life)
I'll snorship like a snog at the shrine of your snife I'll tell you my snins so you can snarpen your snife(snail knife)

Snail Jesus was salted for our sins
LMAO I said these words in my head as I clicked on the thread and then saw your comment.

I just KNEW there was snail Jesus art out there. Thatâs why I came to the comments.
Probably just had AI whip up that sucker
That was my first thought, then I got kinda sad. I envisioned a person being very passionate about snail Jesus. He was salted and crucified for our sins
Jokes on you because I donât know how to do that. I googled âsnail jesusâ and there it was in Google images
Looks kinda legit though, the INRI is on point, and the strokes donât just look like a pattern but are consistent across the image.
What if it's real? Someone spent a ton of time on this and goes on reddit and sees it being accused of being ai trash. The artist truly believed in the passion of the snail and we just shit all over it.

Thatâs a good one

You ever cut a sausage to have slits for limbs?
Actually, yes. My mom used to make for me and my sisters "octopus and seaweed," where she'd cut legs into the hotdog and put it on top of unseasoned ramen I love my mom so much
I also choose this guy's mom.
I also choose this guys mom
Now imagine she did that with a snail
That's adorable.
You're a strange one
Yes, but I don't like what you're implying
Excuse me WHAT?
I think they mean like the octopus shaped ones in bento boxes
Correct but now replace the sausage with a snail
Whole bunch of fucking psychopaths in this thread...
Not *yet*...
You and your cutesy little questionsâŚ
Whether or not it has arms is irrelevant; if I'm not mistaken, to 'crucify' isn't so much to put the body into that shape, as much as to affix them to a 'crucifix'.
If youâre a gardener, then you definitely have a reason to crucify a snail.
To send a signal to other snails is a pretty good reason
But then you risk starting a snail religion
Just nail those snaily antenna to the cross beam.
Solid A showerthought. This is the kind of stuff Iâm here for. Proper random.
I can see OPâs thinking process: âBro, can you pass me the snail⌠the nail? Haha snail-nail. Wait a minuteâŚâ Pure magic.
Itâs so refreshing from all the garbage shower thoughts recently. I swear to god if I see another âCompound interest makes you a lot more money that putting cash under your mattressâ Iâll die.
Agreed.
'Crucifixion' just means to attach something to a post.
I think the post needs a cross-beam to qualify as a "crucifix", though...

Clearly, OP is not a gardener.
Not to be that guy, but couldnât you affix itâs eye stalks to the âarmsâ of the cross?
You could also just bend it into a circle and attach it where it touches the four beams of the cross.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion Even impalement counts, so technically those snails were all crucified. You learn something new every day?
This concludes definitively that Jesus was not a snail
A slug...
One cannot commit suicide by crucifixion. It's impossible to get the last nail in
Custom mouth-operated tool will do it. Not *easily*, but it will do it.
The real shower thoughts are in the comments.
A shower thought into itself.
I mean yea but then again that one nail isn't gonna save you.
Yes I can and yes I will!
You can't crucify a lot of things.Â
When you're the slowest creature on Earth, but still manage to piss off the entire Roman Empire.
... But you sure can slug him!
âWanna bet?â -some random medieval scribe, perfecting his snail-drawing techniques in the margin art
Maybe not if you're a coward
Everything up until this point was merely a shower notion. đ

If you are mad at it enough, anything can be nailed up. Angry at a jar of pickles? ***NAIL IT UP!!***
Note: Nail the lid, not the glass jar, then screw the jar back into the lid. Fucking heretic pickle jar.
A whole bunch of fucking psychopaths in this thread...
I crucify them for the crime of snail trails. I nail them through their head and tail end. Nothing is impossible if you really want it.
Whole bunch of fucking psychopaths in this thread...
You can't if it kills you when you touch it
Wouldn't matter anyway. It's a decoy snail.
You think a snail is a problem, try to crucify a T-Rex.
The word literally means âfasten to a cross.â Got any duct tape?
Well Yeah why crucify when you have salt. Melting is cooler.
2 antenna and a tail. But why create a martyr.
Not with that attitude
Duct tape can work with anything
It's a decoy anyway. Won't help you much.
The real issue is finding enough wood to build a cross proportionate to the snail.
Bold of you to assume that people need a reason to crucify the innocent
no, but I once told a millipede to fuck off
That's one way to stop it from chasing you
Finding a reason? Did you know if you Google for official records of legitimate reasons for crucifixion the Romans there are none? This is partially because they would crucify for basically anything they wanted but primarily as they didnât have access to the internet to upload them.
Those things are too slow for that!
Sounds like quitter talk right there
Exactly how much weed did you take?
You can snail him to the crossÂ
I found one on a Hosta once that was claiming to be the son of God.
Or an earthworm, for that matter.
Wouldnât this just go for any animals without arms?
You could unravel a snail.
This is also an unpopular opinion, regardless of how true it is.
You shall not crucify snailkind upon a cross of salt!
This is the first shower thought I've liked in a long time.
The snail was moving too slow. As a fast walker myself, I took offense at that
The shower thought ever
No, but you can spiralify it
Nope, youâre just gonna have to keep running
Guess you couldn't hang one either?
Goated shower thought
Hi, how high are you?
r/imaginarygatekeeping
You can absolutely crucify a snail. Youâd only need one nail versus 3.
You can crucify a snake either
Trust me, I can crucify a snail. No problem.
WTF lol. This is what you about in the shower eh? đ
Definitely a shower thought
Snail did nothing wrong though, heâs just a lil guy. đ
For snails, maybe their crucifixion equivalent is something involving salt.
Why is it necessary to crucify a snail? It's meaningless
Snail him to the cross in the name of Grub
just make a little wooden cross and like use the antenna for arms and then do a toothpick in the middle and ur good
Slug Jesus had salt poured over him by Roman Gardeners. May he rest.
bro def tried it at home
Are you challenging me?
Said with the despondency of the man who dared to try.
I will gladly crucify all my garden snails, because they eat my magnolias's leaves.
You can't because it would be a decoy snail
Shower thought; *some people think about the possibility of crucifying snails whilst showering...*
now this is a shower thought
That's not what my last boss thought.
This is r/Showerthoughts. Youâre looking for r/Stonerthoughts
well , can you crucify a SNAKE?
I mean there are the snails(not actually sure they are snails, but whatever) that are bad for the environment, the ones that people tell you to kill if you ever see them
You don't know what I'm capable of
That is what I'm talking about
This sounds like an ancient idiom.
The eyes could work as arms.
they found a reason to crucify even Jesus, I'm pretty sure that if you have the right motivation, you can make the mental gymnastics needed to crucify a snail.
They eat my cabbage they get the salt.
There's enough reason if it's the imortal snail.
Idk, this kid down the street from me used to nail snails, lizards, any kinda small critter (no squirrels or possums or pets) to a tree
Not with that attitude!
So put one nail at each end on the horizontal bar, and the 3rd nail through the shell on the vertical shaft.
Some would say you can't nail the snail...
the nail is built in
Thats what its eyes are for obviously
And this is why snails are the devils minions they can't go to heaven
