      Toadlet sounds like the evolved form insult of toad.

      “That guy is such a toadlet, gives me the creeps.”

        It instantly became a wednesday the moment they published it.

        Was a thursday before, and now everyone has to work an extra day. Those toad guys are weird 🙄

          That may be the case, and I don’t want to make light of the situation, or cast shade on their headline writing abilities, but I wanted to make a point that there was a better option.

          It’s a form of ovovivipary so it’s not that crazy, they basically just keep the eggs inside of them instead of laying them.

              No, humans use a placental system, they do not put all the energy required for the offspring into the egg initially. It’s not really the same at all.

          Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog

          “Being oviparous anamniotes, frogs typically spawn their eggs in bodies of water. The eggs then hatch into fully aquatic larvae called tadpoles, which have tails and internal gills. A few species lay eggs on land or bypass the tadpole stage altogether.”

          So maybe not the first, but I am no frogologist.

          There are also fish that give live birth, so I wouldn’t be that surprised if some amphibians do so as well

      yes i looked on google search, and they give birth to live toadlets, rather than spawning as an egg. apparently its very uncommon for amphibians to do this.

      Default method used to be stirring, some people claim that shaking bruises the gin and ruins the flavor. It tastes like pinesol to me either way.
