My guess is that the namer wanted the connotation to be: LET ME.
How exciting!
But honestly — I try to get people to join and inevitably they say…”Why, so I can follow all the other stupid lemmings?”

Lemmings don’t jump off cliffs and they are not stupid. A sociopath employed by Disney threw a few dozen off a cliff for documentary in the 50s, for… reasons…? The story stuck. They’re just normal little rodents, tougher than most, as they can survive brutal winters on bleak landscapes.

They can survive incredibly rough conditions.
If they feel you are threatening them, they won’t run away; they’ll stand up for themselves and try to scare you away by hissing at you. If this happens, you better fucking run.
Not because they make up any actual threat to you, but because the poor little fellas can get so worked up over this they have a heart attack and die right in front of you. They’ll defend their nest until death.
So yeah, don’t mess with lemmings. Please. They’re too precious.
Lemmings are real ? I thought it was video-game characters
TIL, thank you.
I like it.
