THE STORY BEHIND THE SNAP
Will This Kill Me? came from the often scientific, regularly silly mind of Amy Yackowski — founder and resident idea factory curator of The Curaosity Collective.
Why it exists
The idea started years ago as a personal desire: to be able to tell what was safe versus what was a little bit serious. Snakes. Bugs. Plants. And otherwise.
And since I can't take life too seriously — I mean, what's the fun in that? — I decided to build the app and expand it to include both the serious and the not-so-serious.
What that turned into
A little bit of philosophical, mythical, and symbolic meaning, plus a few made-up quotes along the way. The goal is to blend the humor of navigating this often amazing and sometimes tricky environment — and humanity — with the very real things that can actually kill you.
Part scientific, part satire
Every scan gives you an identification, a risk verdict, what to avoid, and what to do if things go sideways. Then it gives you the weird history, the cheeky roast, and the symbolic reading — because curiosity deserves both halves.
It is still, always, for entertainment and informational purposes only. Snap at your own risk.
