Apparently this is/used to be common.

White trash kids did.

One time at a party as a kid I saw one kid taped a frog he found swimming in the pool to a firework and let it go flying.

>>5140398
That kid is white trash.

>>5140398
This should be the fate of frogposters. Getting taped to a rocket and blasted away
>>
>>5140392
No fireworks, but I knew two kids that gathered up bunches of toads to just basically torture to death
Their grown ass mom would sit and watch them just slamming living beings into the ground and thought nothing of it.
>>
I did it with lizards. I feel bad about it now.
>>
This one time as a joke I dropped a lit firecracker into my underwear and it absolutely shreded my nutsack.

I remember in middle school someone in my class once found a dead frog, brought it inside, and threw it out the window while saying “I’m going to Kermit suicide"

Should be rocketed to the Sun.

wtf were you thinking? "let's take this living thing and give it a painful death for no fucking reason". pure psychopathy

Children just have underdeveloped morality. I used to trap bugs in plastic containers and gas them with bug spray

Retarded cope.

Torturing bugs is something all kids do, as a kid I did shit like stomping on anthills, making a mini island out of sand at the lake and throwing various bugs onto it seeing which ones would survive, cutting a stinkbug in half with scissors to see what would happen, throwing a worm into a koi pond and watching it get eaten, etc.

Torturing higher tier animals is more concerning because they have clearly shown emotions, are less common, and are a lot closer to what we consider like us. The closest I did to something like that as a kid was using sticks and rocks to cut open a dead fish I found washed up by the lake.

speak for urself, i never tortured any bugs :P

This guy I knew in highschool who was a proto incel gutted a prairie dog to death with a sharp rock, me and my friend just looked at each other in a "what the fuck is wrong with this dude" look. He was pathetic, cried over some popular girl at school even though he never asked her out, he would make fake profiles on tinder and facebook using pics of hot guys and would post weird shit on there to prove to everyone that women were shallow. Glad I stopped hanging out with him eventually.

Could a frog like this eventually evolve true flight or is there some factor preventing amphibians from achieving powered flight?
>>
>>5140604
Probably respiratory limits and being cold blooded being some kind of bottle neck for spontaneous energy utilization. >>5140392
I thought it was cherry bombs. I remember when I was about 6 or 7 some neighborhood kid showed me a drained pool full of frogs and he would pick them up throw them up and bat them over out the yard. I thought it was funny at the time but never did it myself.

As 12 year old I shot a toad with a bb gun and watched it die. Felt really awful about it despite disliking frogs haven't killed anything since.

The reason kids find frogs funny to torture is cause they’re a naturally funny looking species. Their slimy appearance makes them ugly (humans are hardwired to find uncleanliness ugly for disease avoidance), when their large eyes and heads make them cute (humans are hardwired to find features like that cute since we’re made to feel affectionate towards babies), giving them a natural "ugly cute" appearance, similarly to how cartoon characters like Squidward or the Simpsons characters are "ugly cute" and funny to look at, and thus, naturally fitted for comedic situations. Other animals like squirrels, birds, or lizards don’t really have the same funny aesthetic.

The thought of seeing funny looking creatures hopping and then exploding the next second is probably peak comedy for kids.

As a kid I once ripped the legs off a daddy long legs one by one and put it by an anthill and watched the ants devour it alive.

>>5140568
A lot of kids do it out of morbid curiosity, to them it’s probably no different than torturing GTA npcs or Minecraft villagers

Lil Jimmy tells his mommy
>I shoved a firecracker up a frog's asshole!
and mom, frustrated with her son's potty mouth, says
>Rectum, Jimmy.
and Jimmy replies
>Rectum? Yeah, blew 'em to fuckin bits!
