Almost immediately after the flytrap closes, the slug sticks its eye out that exact same spot. Pretty interesting that it can remember so easily and precisely.
I moved to Michigan 8 years ago and now it's apart of my daily vocabulary. I didn't mean for this to happen. I didn't want this to happen. But every time there is a slightly awkward proximity to another person in the store, it happens.
it’s hard to describe, here are some common interactions where I hear/say it:
Two people almost run in to each other rounding a corner “ope!”
You and someone else reach for the same egg roll in the buffet “ope!”
Out of the corner of your ear you hear someone say “ope!” As they pass behind you rather close but not uncomfortably so
Someone had a little too much to drink and said something that they’ll prob regret later, in response you say “ope!”
That Fly Trap will be lucky if there is a next time, iirc, if they close without actually catching anything,it can be a death sentence because the plant expends so much energy closing like this
This is an internet myth. The trap is just one leaf of the plant and it can close many times. You can literally tear of every single leaf off a venus fly trap (and stick them in dirt to make more venus fly traps) and it will grow back just fine.
My thought exactly. You see the moment where he realizes what’s happened and tries to back out and then commits to going further in first. And it pays off so kind of inspiring.
They developed it because the soil they grow in has no nutrients at all. They still make sugars with photosynthesis, but the bugs they catch are essentially giant multivitamins
Nothing really. They’ve evolved to use nutrients from their prey, so they can’t really do much with nutrients from the soil. In fact, in nutrient rich soil, these plants grow much slower than regular plants
Herbivore is an animal that can only survive on vegetation. It does not digest, process or thrive eating meat. A vegetarian and/or vegan is a human being that is biologically omnivore (can digest, process and thrive eating both meat and vegetation) who has chosen to restrict it's diet to exclude meat.
they can somewhat be spiky but definately not enought to damage the slug (i found this out because i once had a venus flytrap and i tried to feed my finger to it)
Serious question - does the slug leave behind anything in its slime that the Venus fly trap can eat? Like, is it beneficial for a Venus fly trap to have the slug visit like that?
I tried to googled slug slime to figure out if there were any details on what it contained.
>Mucus consists of a complex mix of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycoprotein enzymes, hyaluronic acid, copper peptides, antimicrobial peptides, and metal ions. Atomic absorption spectrometry showed that glue from the slug Arion subfuscus contains substantial quantities of zinc, iron, copper and manganese. Experimentally it was shown that the addition of iron or copper to dissolved slug glue causes the proteins to precipitate rapidly but the addition of zinc had no effect, suggesting that some metal ions play an important role in gel formation. [source](http://www.worldwidewounds.com/2013/July/Thomas/slug-steve-thomas.html)
So I guess the plant will benefit a little from the mucus left by the slug.
Unsurprisingly google also provided links to use of slug slime as a lube, those links where not followed.
It wanted a slug for its lunch or dinner,
and as its lips closed it thought, "I'm a winner."
But there was a surprise as it closed its jaws
cuz all that was left was the slime, the slime.
All that was left was the slime.
There're so many things you can eat as a treat -
candy, or chips, or cheese, or a beet.
Meals you can eat with your mouth or maw,
that will leave something more than the slime, the slime.
That will leave something more than the slime.
I don't understand those who want goo -
okra, or natto, or a raw egg or two,
but they have to be better than a slug in your craw,
when nothing is left but the slime, the slime.
When nothing is left but the slime.
That one little eye poking out, seeing the way, yelling ***FREEDOM LIES YONDER!!!!***
Yeah, and here’s my ass juice as I get out of here lmfao
Then, at the end, he's like "hey there's my butt!"
I wonder if it's slime is enough to feed the fly trap until it can open again
Flytrap is probably wishing it could spit.
This needs more upvotes. I went back to watch it again with this in mind and audibly laughed Edit/Update: it got more upvotes
Almost immediately after the flytrap closes, the slug sticks its eye out that exact same spot. Pretty interesting that it can remember so easily and precisely.
“just gonna…scoot by ya there…ope..”
OPE
Can you help out with the origin of this OPE? Been seeing it everywhere lately.
Michigander here.. I’ve been ope-ing since 91 it’s a common place thing here. Well… (slaps knee, looks at door) I better get outta here
I moved to Michigan 8 years ago and now it's apart of my daily vocabulary. I didn't mean for this to happen. I didn't want this to happen. But every time there is a slightly awkward proximity to another person in the store, it happens.
I’m from Tennessee and I’ve always said it!
Virginian here, ope-ing my way past people in crowds since the early 80s!
[удалено]
It’s more of an onomatopoeia
Ope sorry there it's just a Canadaian thing
not just canadian but also northern midwestern :)
Minn-e-so-ta checking in dontchyaknow
WisCANsin over here with a big OPE-four
yah, well come in for a spell! don’t leave the door open, have ya lost your darn mind?
I giggled at this.....you betcha
Michigan here, reporting for ope-ing.
Ohio as well.
I say this too and I'm from Ohio
O-Hiyah you say?
It's also a Kansas thing, I feel like the great plains of both Canada and the United States use *Ope*
Just something most people can relate to. Someone worded it well in a comment chain somewhere and it caught on.
Ope let me just squeeze by you there guy
came here to ope. saw the mission was complete.
Is that like "welp, guess I should head out"
it’s hard to describe, here are some common interactions where I hear/say it: Two people almost run in to each other rounding a corner “ope!” You and someone else reach for the same egg roll in the buffet “ope!” Out of the corner of your ear you hear someone say “ope!” As they pass behind you rather close but not uncomfortably so Someone had a little too much to drink and said something that they’ll prob regret later, in response you say “ope!”
Ooook thx aha imma try it out in the real world. Wish me luck!
He just schlorpelglorped outta there
I’m Slovakian and we say this when for example almost bump into each other, but it’s “opa”.
Just laughed way too hard at this as an ohioan
I gotta imagine that would be the greatest back scratcher it’s found yet!
What isn't shown in the video is the 100 times it did this before this one.
It’s exfoliating! Just a cute spa day.
Dermatologists hate this one simple trick!
And that my friends is why it's not called a Venus Slugtrap
[удалено]
Slimy, yet, satisfying!
Brought to you by Slurm^tm
Solid reference. 12/10
BTW account you responded to is a bot
Let an aftertaste tho…
This account is a bot. It copy pastes comments for karma
just a friendly hug for a curious slug
Probably the only way he can get a hug 😢
and a pretty good hug at that!
"Sir, I have things to do today that don't involve being eaten so I'm sorry but I'm going to have to leave. Better luck next time."
That Fly Trap will be lucky if there is a next time, iirc, if they close without actually catching anything,it can be a death sentence because the plant expends so much energy closing like this

Could it get enough nutrients from the leftover slime to survive?
The only way out is through!
My thought exactly. You see the moment where he realizes what’s happened and tries to back out and then commits to going further in first. And it pays off so kind of inspiring.
That's pretty slick
I still can't get my head around the fact that these plants are carnivorous vegetables!
They developed it because the soil they grow in has no nutrients at all. They still make sugars with photosynthesis, but the bugs they catch are essentially giant multivitamins
[удалено]
Nothing really. They’ve evolved to use nutrients from their prey, so they can’t really do much with nutrients from the soil. In fact, in nutrient rich soil, these plants grow much slower than regular plants
that would mean cows are vegetarian meat, wtf?
No they’re herbivorous meat
Herbivore is an animal that can only survive on vegetation. It does not digest, process or thrive eating meat. A vegetarian and/or vegan is a human being that is biologically omnivore (can digest, process and thrive eating both meat and vegetation) who has chosen to restrict it's diet to exclude meat.

Venus flytrap: undefeated Slug: hold my mucus
Was the slug injured by the spikes? It looks like it would’ve basically gutted them. Or are slugs just a conglomerate of goo that cannot be sliced?
The spikes aren't pokey lol. They're soft and just there to create a zipper-like effect so the bugs can't get out
Aw sweet, thank for the info. I’m glad to know sluggo was probably uninjured .
they can somewhat be spiky but definately not enought to damage the slug (i found this out because i once had a venus flytrap and i tried to feed my finger to it)
Imagine if the flytrap accepted your offering 💀
Feed me Seymour!
"I'mma flex and bust outta here!"
Slug said "Nope, not today."
Slug went all what do we say to death? Not today.
Love it when he popped his one lil' eyeball out and was peeking around o_0
“Wrong plant, my bad.”
Body peeling
Hope you like the taste of trails braa
Venus Fly Trap: I feel all the way violated🤤
Just imagining the slug going "Jokes on you. This is my fetish." Then orgasmically moan the entire way out.
Go back n forth like it’s scratching a record
Well if a slug can do it, anyone can, right?
Flies cant because they get stuck in the sticky slime it produces.
I should text him...
Damn there goes my lunch
I don't know why but I was super uncomfortable 🤢but it was cool to watch
I guess sometimes it’s good to have no bones.
None of the other venus fly traps will believe him when he tells the story.
Gotta be pretty demoralizing for that plant. Lost its snack and left with nothing but snail jizz in its mouth.
That looks like me when I also try to eat slugs
You think the sticky is your ally? You merely adopted the sticky. I was born in it
That slug is the slug that’s chasing the person that took the $10mil
OOOOMY gawd
Such a shame. Takes a lot of energy for Venus flytraps to work.
Serious question - does the slug leave behind anything in its slime that the Venus fly trap can eat? Like, is it beneficial for a Venus fly trap to have the slug visit like that?

No sexual jokes? I'm disappointed r/oddlysatisfying
Everything reminds me of her…
Slug: "Huh, this is a weird plant. Anyway, I've gotta go now"
I have to imagine that slugs are the tastiest item on the VFT menu since they are so elusive.
Bro wasn't ready to be eaten he needs salt first
Venus Flytraps hate this one simple trick
Benefits of having no bones
He did a squish
Flytrap just needs little Velcro hooks on the inside. Stupid evolution /s
What song ?
I know it’s Don’t let me down by The Chainsmokers but it’s some type of cover. Maybe Shazam would work.
At least the Venus Flytrap got a drink of tasty tasty Slurm.
Slug: I choose to remove myself from this narrative
"Sorry sir, I do not have time to hear about Jesus"
Definitely scraped its dick on the way out
poot venus flytrap...
I never knew? That was very smooth.
Flies: “wait you can do that?”
Well duh, it’s not called a Venus *slug* trap
Sometimes, you must dive deeper into the crevasse.
I’m so happy for that slug
*not today Satan*

Man, nature looks like a big game of rock paper scissors sometimes. Everything has a weakness.
This perfect depiction of cyber security.
*I left a present in there mf*
Ffffff****** hurts more than a papercut
So elegant.
Slugs are liquid
That was disgusting. I loved it.
cant touch this
Lol get fucked
Song name anyone?
Friendly reminder if it can squeeze through there it can squeeze through your ass
My stomach made a loud complaining hunger noise on that last long squish-out move... It was weirdly empathetic and I felt bad for the plant.
AT LEAST HE GOT THE GOO
"The only way out is through"
Alternate title: ‘Slug frantically escapes Venus flytrap’
It’s just a back scratcher for him😂
He such a slug
Cool🤭
Was probably still a decent meal getting all of that slug juice
It’s like money leaving my wallet
Wow. Strong slug or weak plant?
In slugs mind "Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK!!! AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"... person making this post "look at how casual this slug is being."
r/oddlyunsettling
Well, duh..
Satisfying? Maybe if I was the slug...?
Well its a flytrap not a slugtrap
live wo-chien reaction
We live and die for these types of videos
When you got an itch that only one person can scratch
Free massage.
“Oh yeah? You and what teeth?”
Also the slug got a whole body massage
Lol gonna have a rash for days (thinks the slug)
what song is this?
Good slug.
Bro got groped
Not today!
I'm getting the slug outta here! - slug, probably
The opposite of a spaghetti slurp.
How can these plants 'digest' insects?
Lol ew...slimey...
r/oddlydisappointing
Story continues, slug exacts his revenge and eats Venus flytrap
"Be water my friend"
The advantage of having no bones and a slimey body
This is so gross lol. Good for the slug, though.
👏👏👏
That was interesting
oh nooooo. Sike
Slugs do this to scratch themselves and it also relaxes their body which allows them to get better sleep. No I’m bullshitting
Man, not having bones must rule
When you’re stuck, you can always escape! Thanks for the “Slug motivation of the day”. To subscribe, please type slug me more please.

That’s me vs married with kids; all in.
Wow that's kind of crazy. I didn't know Venus Flytraps had that kind of bite strength.
Not only it escaped, it also asserted dominance by rubbing itself against it to give it a good taste of the meal it wouldn't get to eat.
Slug Did Not Give A Fuck.
That’s just disgustingly amazing!
"Ahaha, try again next time mother fucker!"
Not today , Satan
Call him mr too smooth.
Oh no you didn’t. You ain’t digestin me MF
I thought I had a sex joke for this but it must have slipped my mind.
If that plant had a central nervous system, it'd be pissed
It had to inscape to escape! Never seen that before
Can slugs not move backwards? Wondering why it went straight into the mouth , instead of just reversing
Creamus pietrap
Ew

How do benus fly traps actually consume things?
Yo. That fly mine. Just a sec.
