God literally used the scale-up tool on a seagull. I guess it was a Friday afternoon in the animal design bureau.

I was think of this! How the fuck did he hang that from his neck??

Sergio@lemmy.world on 15 Jun 04:16 collapse

Yeah, I didn’t realize that when I first heard it. I guess that’s why it’s a punishment. If they just hung a tiny parakeet off his neck, it wouldn’t be much of a punishment.

What flavor is it?

If risky to put dick in mouth, why make it friend sized?

taiyang@lemmy.world on 14 Jun 13:51 next collapse

That’s the expression of a man who just had a random naked encounter with an albatross. It’s a mix of befuddlement and wonder.

CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social on 14 Jun 14:30 next collapse

I know albatross are big, but I can’t stop seeing it as an abnormally small man petting an abnormally well-behaved seagull.

Watch conservationists weigh & feed an underweight chick (not yet fledged, not too happy).

Underweight my ass. Poor bird is so fat and out of shape that it couldn’t even attempt to flee… :(

lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com on 15 Jun 02:17 collapse

It’s a chick: they just waddle, play with hay, and do flappies while waiting for their parents to occasionally feed them. Albatross chicks are huge.

Psythik@lemm.ee on 15 Jun 02:45 collapse

Quit ruining my narrative with your facts and logic!

Your armspan is your height…what does this pose accomplish?

LovableSidekick@lemmy.world on 14 Jun 23:41 next collapse

Never let a bird with a beak that size get it that close to your junk.

Widdershins@lemmy.world on 15 Jun 04:39 next collapse

At that size it gets difficult to imagine having one hung from your neck.

JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz on 15 Jun 17:30 next collapse

Hm, how tall is the person? I mean people’s size varies. You can be under a meter or 2m 10.
