You know what doesn’t fuck around?

Australian children’s books on animals

This reminds me of the Peppa Pig episode about friendly spiders that was banned in Australia because their response was basically, “um, oh, no, you can’t, uh, you can’t tell our kids that. spiders here will kill them.”

Yeah, it’s not messing around, but it’s truthful. You gotta not touch those things, those things will potentially kill you. It’s really important to tell kids “hey, you know this thing you might see and want to interact with? don’t” when they live near those things.
