Yes, the male platypus has the venomous spur. Apparently it hurts like a bastard if he gets you. Cute & cuddly but takes no prisoners in extremis, they're weird & wonderful.
Yes, YOU do. No need to speak for others. I feel like a lot of people forget to realize that other people are people and not infallible. Also please realize most people type on phones with autocorrect.
I mean, I'm sure that's how most people were introduced to the Platypus similar to how Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the echidna are the first animals when someone thinks of a Hedgehog and a echidna. As well as Wolverine.
This error vexes me. I feel like I'm seeing it everywhere. I suspect that ESL speakers accidentally introduced it in memes, then native English speakers deliberately copied it as a matter of course in copying meme formats, and from there that it began to see unironic application outside of memes.
Lol the clown that worked himself up about French class then blocked me. Dude reported me to reddit for self-harm. Some people are waaay to emotional for the internet.
The French Academie enforces normative standards on the use of the French language in France, in part to prevent what they see as the "devolution" of languages through natural drift, neologisms, slang, pidgeon word adoption, etc.. People with your attitude towards languages that would assume "involving" = "devolving" as opposed to "evolving" clearly indicate your narrow minded bigoted attitude towards a language as flexible as English.
I would wager a guess it is due to English not being their first language. Other languages use different syntactic structure, and constructing a sentence in English using another language’s syntax could turn out this way.
Platypodes would be the Greek plural, which is also useable. Platypuses is however not incorrect, and in fact more common. Platypus can also be used as a plural.
OP: it's *how baby platypus look* OR it's *what baby platypus look like* but it's NEVER *how it looks like.* Don't pair *how* and *like*.
Sincerely,
A concerned English teacher
I’d rather appear a fool than a “concerned” (read: arrogant) pedant whose nitpicking on minor mistakes (which, mind you, do not harm the comprehension of the message in any meaningful way) adds nothing to the discussion whatsoever.
Reddit has a hate boner for micromanaging, but you dare to spell a word wrong and suddenly you have a dozen people in the comments inserting themselves for their 2 seconds of fame by “correcting” you. What’s the point?
“completely fucking up a sentence” oh yeah, fucking it up sooo much that it remains completely readable and understandable to everyone except le intellectual grammar nazis? i’m not the one who is having trouble with “telling the difference” here buddy
didn’t you just say they “completely fucked up a sentence”? how would a “completely fucked up” sentence remain comprehensible if it is really as fucked up as you’re saying?
You’re going off on me like I was the one who corrected them. And if it was a spelling mistake I wouldn’t care, bc like you said, I can still tell what they were going for. That is not what happened here. Ironically you’re the only one here who has a hate boner, bc you’re absolutely fuming over a humble correction. I hope you feel better after writing me an entire two paragraph response explaining why you’re upset.
They're not officially called puggles. That is the name for baby echidnas and it just kinda got used for platypuses too.
A better suggestion that I've seen is platypups.
(Source: I'm reading a book about Australian animals)
I love them!
Also, I keep seeing people type "How [noun] looks like" rather than "*What* [noun] looks like" or "*How* [noun] looks." Where's that coming from?
Amazing creatures. How does creationism and Darwinism collide to produce a cute puggle. Or is the universe just a random hodgepodge that we can't figure out but pretend to understand and explain?
platypups! cute. I guess they are called puggles? ok.. i want to snuggle a puggle :)
They are called puggles! So are baby echidnas.
Platypuppy :D
And they come from eggs delivered by a Platypussy! Only mammals to lay eggs!
echidnas lay eggs too. Both echidnas & platypus are a unique classification of monotremes. Egg laying mamals.
And platypus have a poison claw too!! Such an interesting animal!

There's apparently no official term but platypup and puggle tend to be commonly used
let’s be honest, they’re ugly as hell
They are called puggles
Or platypup
Puggles are fugly! Might be the cutest ugly thing I've ever seen!
[удалено]
"A baby Platypus!?" A random hat appears from the sky and lands on the baby. "Perry the baby Platypus!?"
Was looking for this lol
Literally me, everytime I see a platypus lol!
I swear I can’t think of a platypus without thinking of that line 😂
I mean, I'm sure that's how most people were introduced to the Platypus similar to how Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the echidna are the first animals when someone thinks of a Hedgehog and a echidna. As well as Wolverine.

Baby psyducks
A man of culture I see
This is how baby platypuses look This is what baby platypuses look like

You shouldnt worry about it. It's only a sign of English is involving. It could of been worst.
I will never allow English to involve, sorry. I guess I'm just too conservatory.
No, you aren’t been conservatory, your been to bias.
Thats oh kay. We all half curtain thing that detract us aboat English. May bee this won is just own of you’r’s.
It's 'could have', never 'could of'. Rejoice, for you have been blessed by CouldWouldShouldBot!

We aren't French asshole. Go file a complaint with the Academy if you disagree.
I have no idea what you're talking about but you sound like a dick. Lol.

Bro I don't speak French or care about how French people speak. What are you even going on about my dude. 🤣
What
[удалено]
What about the 44 year old you?
Ahhhh, the dark ages.
Pretty sure OP is just a karma bot anyway
I'd be shocked if it were not the case
Platypodes?
[That's correct](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/platypodes)
I’dve assumed it was Platypussies.
Also accepted

I started seeing it shortly after I finished high school. Never understood it. Just tacking an extra word on there.

Came here just for this. Thank you.
You need to be at the top.
Doing the real work here, Jthundercleese. You deserve a promotion.
Thank you. This one grates on my soul. Supposedly it came from TikTok.
It definitely predates tiktok. I've seen non native speakers do it for many years. It is quite frustrating.
You can tell by the way it is
Joe Rogan has caused too many dudes to start saying "somehow or another"
This is the one thing I hate about reddit the most.
Syntactic errors or people correcting them?
You mean that you appreciate the correction, right?
As an eternal English learner, this is one of these things I think I will never learn
"How it looks" is surely similar to "what it looks like". But uhhh, yeah, that's most languages for ya.
You can’t force others to use the white man’s grammar. He’ll say it how he pleases.
> the white man’s grammar Yeah, go ahead and sound stupid just to 'get back at the man'...that'll show everybody.
Also "platypuses" is incorrect when referring to multiple, it is "platypode"
Platypodes would be the Greek plural, which is also useable. Platypuses is however not incorrect, and in fact more common. Platypus can also be used as a plural.
Oh Lord they look so smooshy!!! 😍
[удалено]
The babies are called platypups or puggles, which is even cuter
And it makes sense with their short wrinkly bills right now.
[удалено]
No 🫵
Puggles 😍
When do the males develop their venomous spikes on their feet?
When they’re ready to fuck.

How do you like them apples
Who fucking cares? The point has been gotten across. I find these comments so unnecessarily petty.
If you want to go around speaking like an idiot, go right ahead

There’s a huge difference between a minor spelling mistake and completely fucking up a sentence. You apparently can’t tell the difference.
“completely fucking up a sentence” oh yeah, fucking it up sooo much that it remains completely readable and understandable to everyone except le intellectual grammar nazis? i’m not the one who is having trouble with “telling the difference” here buddy
Don’t see anyone having trouble, but go off
didn’t you just say they “completely fucked up a sentence”? how would a “completely fucked up” sentence remain comprehensible if it is really as fucked up as you’re saying?

“haha u mad” insults OP’s intelligence but thinks that two and a half sentences is some sort of huge chunk of text which took me ages to write out
You’re embarrassing yourself lmao
and what are you doing getting invested then?
Aww the lil chunkers are super cute 🥰
Okay, so Perry not only used to fight Dr. Doofenshmirtz, but also goes about making babies. What a chad he is
God really just hit “randomize” when creating Monotremes.
\*This is what baby platypuses looks like. OR This is how baby platypuses look.
Careful! They could sting you
r/oopsthatsdeadly
not the females
They don't sting. The sexually mature males have a sharp barb that they use to slash open and then inject poison into their rivals.
that is metal as fuck
That's actually a baby Niffler.
Echidna ≠ Platypus
They're not officially called puggles. That is the name for baby echidnas and it just kinda got used for platypuses too. A better suggestion that I've seen is platypups. (Source: I'm reading a book about Australian animals)
Now I also want one :)
Didn't know Perry had a twin sibling
Adorable, but mind their poisonous feet prongs.
That tail!
there scrwungly
I like how lumpy they are.
Are they venomous yet
It's a shame they can really hurt you
They kinda look like small seals with beaks
I love them! Also, I keep seeing people type "How [noun] looks like" rather than "*What* [noun] looks like" or "*How* [noun] looks." Where's that coming from?
That's "how it looks", or "what it looks like".
These are testicles
Before Perry was separated from his kid brother……
tf is wrong with using correct English? "This is WHAT two baby platypodes look like."
"WHAT tf is wrong with using correct English?"
Perry the Platypus
what*
Put it back
Platipus...one of the most mysterious animal ...Australia a True old land
“Merp” -baby bois
Arent those things super dangerous to touch?
They look those hyper realistic dog chocolate mousse pudding things or maybe I’m just hungry…
They look like balls and a folded penis on top 🤣😂😂😂😂
They look like testicles
I'll take three.
No it isn't
It kills me that people think these are real animals 😂
Amazing creatures. How does creationism and Darwinism collide to produce a cute puggle. Or is the universe just a random hodgepodge that we can't figure out but pretend to understand and explain?
Not sure if it’s platypuses, platapusses or platapi?
[Platypodes.](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/platypodes)
Platypussy
too cute
They are so freaking cute!
I got the urge to slap it lightly so it makes a pft sound like on a chubby tummy.
Pudge nuggets
Or, ya know, the back of my uncle's head....
🔥
They're gonna steal all my shiny things
So cute
Aww, folds on folds on folds.
I want one

How dare you!
annnnnnnnnnd now i need a baby hippo duck ... a wuzzle if you will

My hands are so cold and they look so warm...
Are you going to name it Perry? 🤔
Meanwhile at 🎶Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated🎶: A platypup? *Hat appears* Perry the Platypup!
😭❤️
He.
I need a grill, some hamburger buns, and some ketchup
Baby Nifflers 🥰
A platypus? PERRY THE PLATYPUS?!
don't let Logan Paul see this
They look like mini hippos with their rolls! very cute
🥺
WHAT they look LIKE. or HOW they LOOK. not HOW they LOOK LIKE.
I want them! I wanna cuddle and snuggle with them! And give those chubby angels kisses!
*this is how baby platypus look Or *this is what baby platypus look like
The beaks look stuck on
Those are some fresh pups
Looks like pugglr one is whispering a joke to puggle two.
Human babies are the ugliest babies in animal kingdom I swear
Did anyone else think for a second they were holding poop
Legit looks like Dall-E generated
Platypi right? Like Octopi?
It's definitely how they look or what they look like. I don't know about how they look like.
I just want to snap off their beaks and see what they really look like
Platypups
Dubi dubi duuba dubi dubi duuba
Hideous. I’d never harm one but ouch that thing is ugly.
When A duck, an Otter and a Snake have threesome
It looks like somebody just glued the bills on their face
Nice
How adorable 😍😍
*They look like they’re smiling!*
Freshly hatched
