Heheheh was waiting for that

They will try to see if you fit as well, just shamelessly be like "oops, guess I can't swallow you, have a nice day then!" Waddles away

They tried to eat fricking bike seat, man. Also I admire they even thought about giraffe. lol

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You don't know what that seat said about the birds mother! (Prob nothing, it's an inanimate object.)

The giraffe thing is just a kink, don't judge :).

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago

Seems like they like thighs. :)

I can't believe this is a real animal. I won't.

Rare correct use of POV

[–] Squibbles@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

or a small/medium sized bird, or a rat, or anything that will fit really

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or anything that doesn't. You never know until you try.

"I wonder how I can measure the dimensions of a solid object of irregular shape?"

The humble calipers:

I remember reading a comment years ago about a box of kittens and a pelican…

Or a capybara that is just sick of that pelican's shit.

I don't like that cartoon pelicans at always jolly and relaxed, whilst everything I have seen about them is that they are just massive assholes

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

The "can do" attitude, because they aren't named Pelicannot.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

Or maybe a capybara.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Or maybe a newborn human child.

Freind berd. Very nice and camfy.

looking deeper in that mouth is... concerning.

That revelation is shared by pretty much everything that's had that sudden experience. Most of them lived, it would seem.

Damn, I kinda want a poster of that to hang in my bathroom, right across from the toilet.

And I definitely want a decent quality copy of the original pic lol

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 1 week ago

That is the strangest looking horse

Nah a school will just see the beak close
