The Creepy World of Zombifying Fungi

The image shows a screenshot of a Tumblr post by user 'bogleech' from March 19, 2023. The post contains two entries: the first explains that 'zombifying fungi' like cordyceps actually leave the brain and nervous system untouched, only controlling muscles via chemical signals, and ends with a smiley face. The second entry, which is the meme, comments on how people react with 'but that's worse!' and clarifies that the smiley face was intentionally placed to indicate the situation is not as bad as people think. The post has 102,177 notes.
