Viral video: snake slithers across a car at 65 mph

Forget snakes on a plane. This family can’t keep them off the windshield. While driving down the highway, Rachel and Tony Fisher watched as a snake poked its head from under the hood of the car and proceeded to climb all around the windshield until it eventually fell off of the driver’s side mirror. The car was parked in a wooded area the night before, where the snake must have crawled into the car.

“We were driving 65 mph down a highway when my husband caught something out of the corner of this eye…a snakehead coming out from under our hood onto our windshield! Watch what happens after that….” writes Rachel Fisher on YouTube. 

Some have already begun criticizing the couple for not pulling over and gently removing the snake, but they aren’t biting. “[We’ve gotten] a lot of Facebook comments…I don’t like snakes,” said Tony to CNN. “I’m more scared of snakes probably then my wife is. And so, I was like I just want the thing off the car.  I don’t want to try to have to get out of the car and deal with it.”

So, are animals are getting braver or have we simply run out of other things to put on YouTube? Judging by this second video, we wonder if they might be tired of dealing with us.

How to create a Subreddit on desktop and mobile
Laptop Working from Home

Few social media sites are as popular as Reddit. Regardless of what you're interested in, there's probably a thriving community for you to interact with on the platform. Known as subreddits, these communities are home to topics like gaming, world news, science, movies, and more. If you can't find a subreddit with your particular interest, Reddit makes it easy to create your own Reddit community.

Running a successful Reddit community isn't easy – but the process of starting one only takes a few minutes. Keep in mind that you'll want to keep a close eye on your subreddit to prevent it from being shut down or turning into a wasteland with no users, but running a subreddit can be a lot of fun when done properly. If you prefer, you can also create a private community that only your friends can join, giving you a place to hang out beyond Twitter and TikTok.
