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”. Image
unwatchable!!

Poisonous: will make you sick if you eat it. Venomous: will make you sick if it bites or stings you.
CatsGoMOW@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Wait. So what if you ate the snake… wouldn’t that mean at that point it could be poisonous? Checkmate.
Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
Not native English speaking neither but afaik:
poisonous: you die when you eat it
Venomous: you die when it bites you
JustAPenguin@lemmy.world 7 months ago
If it bites you and you die: it’s venomous If you bite it and you die: it’s poisonous
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
Bears are venomous and lava is poisonous. Got it

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”.
Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Tóxico is more or less analogous to toxic in English, it sounds normal to use with something like a chemical but weird with an animal
Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Hace un par de días teníamos esta misma discusión aquí, básicamente «poison» es si lo tocas y mueres. «Venom» es si te muerde y mueres. En español es más simple con veneno jaja
captain_oni@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
Español cuenta también con “Ponzoñoso” (Poisonous ) para poder diferenciar. Pero en si, sólo son sinónimos y se utilizan igual.
workerONE@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 7 months ago
Seems like it would depend on the poison.
capuccino@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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
Ravi@feddit.org 7 months ago
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.
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 7 months ago
If you kill a snake and decide to chew on the venom glands, would they be considered poisonous or venomous?
psud@aussie.zone 7 months ago
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
Godnroc@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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.
xenoclast@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Well. I know that they’re gonna consider you both stupid and dead…
RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 7 months ago
There are poisonous snakes, but most are not. They become poisonous through their diet.

Snakes in Australia are probably venomous and poisonous.
Heavybell@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I remember hearing on QI about a snake that eats a poisonous frog in order to become poisonous itself. Don’t think it was Australian but who knows.
pH3ra@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
I saw it last night: it’s the worst wet fart of a movie I’ve seen in a long time
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 7 months ago
What is missing from the original?
pH3ra@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
Story cohesion, justifiable plot, relatable characters, believable dialogues, good montage (there are more frame changes than a fast and furious chase sequence) and in general there is nothing that make this one look like a Tim Burton movie.
But hey we now have *checks notes* Monica Bellucci, the worst actress the big screen has ever seen…
averyminya@beehaw.org 7 months ago
Did you see Borderlands, Killer’s Game, or any of the Rebel Moon variations?
pH3ra@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
Nope, as I generally want to be entertained when I spend money and time for a movie.
I’d lie if I said I expected this to be as good as the first one, but boy was that an understatement…
dev_null@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
It’s a common mistake, so isn’t a character in a movie making it realistic? Wouldn’t it be out of character for many characters to have perfect English?
BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 7 months ago
it only takes 1 flaw to turn a movie from a 10/10 to a 0/10. this is one such example
sigh guess us real kinophiles must fend for ourselves
dev_null@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
May point is that it might be a mistake of the character, intended by the writers, not a mistake by the writers.
norimee@lemmy.world 7 months ago
As a non native English speaker, where does toxic fit into the poisonous/venevenomous question?
TJDetweiler@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Typically used to describe chemicals, or your ex girlfriend
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
Do you know his ex too?
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 7 months ago
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”.)
norimee@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 7 months ago

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.
ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 7 months ago
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 you mental ability and cause faster ageing.
Another, is Lead (Pb), which lead to the destruction of the Roman empire.NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 7 months ago

Remakes are unwatchable
chaogomu@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s not a remake. It’s a sequel with the same director and writing team as the first one.
It also has a few truly disturbing scenes.
SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Yes and no. Soulless cash grabs are unwatchable. But things like The Fly, dawn of the dead, the mummy, Scarface…10/10
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
Scar face has a remake?
Bruhh@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The first one isn’t exactly watchable either. Beetlejuice is in it for 20 min of the whole movie? He’s not the main character, sure but you’d think the titular character would have more screen time.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 months ago
Maybe she was eating poisonous snakes. You don’t know.
nek0d3r@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I literally thought the correction in my head while in the theater. It took some restraint to not mention anything to my partner lol
SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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?
Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
Well Astrid does kill her self with said snakes so I feel like it evens itself out.
BroBot9000@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That and it’s a sequel to a move made in 1988. It was always destined to be a soulless nostalgia cash grab.
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Eh, it’s alright for what it is. It’s a sequel that’s mostly enjoyable and entertainable. And feels like classic Burton through and through. Catherine O’Hara and Michael Keaton are also obviously having a lot of fun.
Thatuserguy@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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
GBU_28@lemm.ee 7 months ago
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.
lolcatnip@reddthat.com 7 months ago
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.
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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)
