- Someone get those bugs a therapist, they've got some severe BIID. 😬
- They drop their limbs to survive a couple of minutes longer to try to find shelter from the cold? Does surviving matter if they're limbless, won't that impact their survival even more? 🤨 Also, how do they know which limb is damaged and when to drop it? 🤔 They really should've just learned the antifreeze trick instead. 🤦 "Intelligent" design. 😂
