Good that they provided both the Emperor penguin and human penguin for scale.

1m90ish is 7cm taller than the average Dutch male.

Including large boots, hat, and hood. And also fairly tall.

kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 29 May 18:03 collapse

I can go on a plane, the fact that they cant is a certified skill issue :3

ZombieMantis@lemmy.world on 29 May 23:04 next collapse

They can also go in a plane, so it’s not really a skill issue. They might not be allowed on board, but that’s an issue of discrimination, not skill.

The real skill issue is how much better they can swim compared to you, or really any human.

They can sabotage helicopters when Mango Mussolini levies tariffs on them, it’s a start.

Ok but was it a true penguin, or a false penguin like all the extant species today?

JasonDJ@lemmy.zip on 29 May 13:40 collapse

All modern penguins are pseudo-penguins.

Penguins are the Linux mascot.

sudo sounds like “pseudo” (unless you are one of those people who pronounces it Sue-dew or sud-Oh, in which case, I don’t like you).

Sudo penguin. Heh.

gwilikers@lemmy.ml on 29 May 17:28 collapse

I bet it tasted so good. Like pork or something

Agent641@lemmy.world on 29 May 23:56 next collapse

Most seabirds taste like oily fish but with the texture of chicken.

drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world on 30 May 00:28 next collapse

I was really sad to learn this, penguins look tasty.

Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone on 30 May 01:40 next collapse

That sounds perfect tbh. I love fish flavour but mostly don’t like the texture.

Another one for you. there are no extant true penguins. What we see now are covergently evolved flightless birds. True penguins went extinct.

Only pingwings, no penguins.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_auk

The great auk (Pinguinus impennis), also known as the penguin or garefowl, is an extinct species of flightless alcid that first appeared around 400,000 years ago and became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only modern species in the genus Pinguinus. It was not closely related to the penguins of the Southern Hemisphere, which were named for their resemblance to this species.
