That and it’s a sequel to a move made in 1988. It was always destined to be a soulless nostalgia cash grab.
Eh, it’s alright for what it is. It’s a sequel that’s mostly enjoyable and entertaining. And feels like classic Burton through and through. Catherine O’Hara and Michael Keaton are also obviously having a lot of fun.
Like everyone else said, doesn’t beat the original, but it was fun for what it was. Certainly kept a lot of the same spirit, which is more than I can say for a lot of these soulless reboot/sequel cash grabs these days
Meh it was enjoyable enough. It’s certainly not overtaking the original as the better, but it was a fine hour and a half our whatever.
I didn’t enjoy it much, but I had a headache at the time, and the three other people with me had a blast, so I think it’s probably not bad.
I was pleasantly surprised. I went and saw it with my mother since the original was one of her favorites to watch with me growing up. She was actually more critical of it than I was, which doesn’t happen very often, but at the same time I think she had higher expectations than I did. (Mine were not very high)
Just watch the german version, where both translates to “giftig”. Who cares if it needs to bite you or if you need to bite it, if it contains poison/venom just stay away from it.
If you kill a snake and decide to chew on the venom glands, would they be considered poisonous or venomous?
Well. I know that they’re gonna consider you both stupid and dead… but yeah… The corner would have a tough time
With the sucking venom out of a bite memes they always warned that you needed good mouth health as the venom getting into your blood through a cut or sore would be dangerous, suggesting that venom could be safely ingested
Our digestive system is pretty good at talking apart proteins
It’s also very good at absorbing things directly into our blood streams. I think sucking on venom is a good way to poison yourself.
Except the truth is that no, almost every venom is safe to ingest. Provided you don’t have any cuts in your mouth or throat.
Snakes are not immune to their own venom. They don’t need to be, because their stomach acid can break it down.
As can ours.
We have proteins in our diets that our body could use intact, however our digestion breaks those down and we absorb the amino acids and rebuild the needed proteins.
No protein survives digestion. It’s really quite surprising that some prions do survive and fuck us up
lmao, not an english native speaker here. What would be, in english language, the difference between poisonous and venomous? Lifting aside the “pois” and the “ven”.
Poisonous: will make you sick if you eat it. Venomous: will make you sick if it bites or stings you.
Wait. So what if you ate the snake… wouldn’t that mean at that point it could be poisonous? Checkmate.
If you consume venom and don’t have any open sores, you should be fine in most cases.
Poison, however, will probably still kill you if you inject it into your bloodstream. Then again, most things will kill you if you inject it into your bloodstream.
Poison is in the fangs not the meat
Venom is transported through the fangs just so a bunch of children don’t go eating a bunch of venom glands…
I mean… a fang can be eaten. Dogs eat all sorts of weird stuff.
Fair enough lol
Yes, venom is poisonous. It is a subset of poisons that are injected via bites or stings.
- If it bites you and you die: it’s venomous
- If you bite it and you die: it’s poisonous
Bears are venomous and lava is poisonous. Got it
If we follow this logic, bears are both poisonous and venomous.
I don’t speak Spanish, but just looking at the alternative options Google Translate provides when you only input a single word, it’s possible that “tóxico” might be a clearer translation of “poisonous”.
Poisons are ingested where as venoms are injected.
If you bite (or drink, etc.) it it’s poison. If it bites (or stings, etc.) you it’s venom.
I was told that if something dies from poison and you eat it then it is dangerous. But if something dies from venom and you eat it you will be okay.
I see. @Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com, @Melochar@lemmy.world, and @JustAPenguin@lemmy.world Thank you, you all
Keep in mind that poisonous and venomous are only different in a scientific context. In regular conversation people use them to mean the same thing (or at least they use poisonous to mean both-- venomous is less used in casual contexts)
As a non native English speaker, where does toxic fit into the poisonous/venevenomous question?
If “poisonous” are parallelograms and “venomous” are trapezoids, “toxic” would be quadrilaterals in general. (Can’t use square/rectangle analogy, because squares are a type of rectangle, and venom/poison is not a type of poison/venom.)
Aside from that, there aren’t too many rules on “toxic”.
Poison and venom will both cause serious acute injury with the possibility of immediate death. Both can be considered “toxic”.
Just to be confusing, “poison” and “poisoning” can have substantially different connotations. For example, the heavy metal “lead” would not normally* be considered a “poison”. Lead would generally be considered “toxic”.
But, repeated exposure to lead to the point that it causes physical symptoms is referred to as “lead poisoning”.
Same thing with mercury: it would be considered “toxic”; it wouldn’t normally* be considered a poison. But repeated exposure to mercury would be considered “mercury poisoning”.
(* If a third party were to deliberately introduce lead or mercury into the body of an individual, the substance would then be considered a “poison”.)
Thank you for your thorough explanation.
It’s always a bit confusing when your language has one word for something another language makes distinctions within.
Bro, look at "かける (kakeru)” in Japanese. It’s a verb with a bajillion different meanings depending on context. Kill me.
There is a lot of pedantry in English despite there being no central governing body over the language like French has.
Yep!
Personally, I’m deprecating “its”.
The “its/it’s” distinction requires violation of the apostrophe-s rule for possessive forms. This exception to that rule is entirely arbitrary. The meaning is never ambiguous in context; the distinction exists solely to enable pedantry and confuse spell checkers.
So, English will be better off by retiring “its”, relegating it to the trash heap along with “chuse”.
“It’s” is now a homonym. Both the contraction rules and the possessive rules for apostrophe-s construction are maintained, and the only people who will cry about it are English teachers and other worthless pedants.
I have spoken.
Toxic can be used to refer to something that will slowly damage the body in some way.
e.g. tobacco smoke, which doesn’t kill you right away, but slowly turns you into a zombie, by destroying your mental ability and cause faster ageing.
Another, is Lead (Pb), which lead to the destruction of the Roman empire.As a native English speaker, uuuuhhhhhhh

Sounds like poisons are injested, and toxins are poisons that are produced within the body through reactions. And venom is just poison that’s only harmful in the bloodstream.
Aside of the obvious meme joke. Well, language eveolves, maybe the distinction isn’t that important any more. Other languages don’t have it and usually you add more context to something. Also when was the last time you tried to eat an unknown animal? Or where in a situation, where you had to decide if the dangerous looking animal is only supposed to be uneatable instead of venomous?
as much as i believe languages are living tools, cannot be constrained by rules, and will evolve no matter how much old timers complain
if you tell me about a “venomous mushroom” I’ll freak out at the possibility of such a being existing faster than you can explain how you don’t really see a reason for the distinction between venomous and poisonous and that other languages don’t even have it
In German venomous and poisonous is the same word. It absolutely does work.
Tbh I feel like it’s a very important distinction . There are poisonous things that aren’t harmful unless ingested. However something that is venomous is probably ready to attack if approached
It’s kind of funny, because in other languages it doesn’t use this distinction and people don’t eat poisonous mushrooms because someone called them venomous by accident, or the other way around with a venomous animal.
I’m fine with language naturally changing over time as it does, but I’m not a big fan of people gleefully cheering on as words lose meaning because people can’t handle being corrected about the current meaning/intent of words.
I literally thought the correction in my head while in the theater. It took some restraint to not mention anything to my partner lol
Well Astrid does kill her self with said snakes so I feel like it evens itself out.
