      We don’t know. It was supposed to be funny though, so honestly probably not anything too deep or specific.

      The theory I tend to believe is that it started as a commentary on the endless battle against garden pests, and just became a genuine meme beyond that.

        To be fair, giant African land snails are about this size IRL.

        Maybe it’s a combo of a few shells traded around plus the garden pest meme to make very snail seem like a murderous asshat.
