Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Bird. It’s a bird. The airline doesn’t need to know what kind of bird. Just that it’s a bird.

[–] GreyJolly@lemmy.world 90 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Watch me try to bring my pet Ostrich on a plane

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (3 children)

That’s a flightless bird.

So before takeoff are the people who direct you to your seat the flightless attendants?

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That’s the word

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Still a bird!

I wonder if flightless bird would react negatively to being on a plane and being able to see that they are flying, or if they would "remember instinctually" that their ancestors could fly.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

A bird capable of flight, which had its feathers clipped to keep it from escaping, looking out the window going "This is bullshit."

It's an emotional support animal!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago

It's a lithium ion battery phoenix. Is that going to be a problem

[–] SARGEx117@lemmy.world 97 points 2 years ago (4 children)

This is not how birbs should fly.

Air travel is cruel to the animals sitting in the lower decks.

In other news, I once though a customer asked if I wanted to see his banana, when he was trying to ask if we sold banana seats for a bicycle.

It was an awkward exchange.

"Banana, see it?!" Points at crotch

Edit: A lady once came and sat down next to me at a bar. My first thought was that she was a lady of the night, and for some reason my assumption felt solidified when she in broken english asked; "do you like bananas?".

"Not particularly", I said, "do you?" "YES", she responded, with a cheerful smile. She then proceeded to pull 4 bananas out of her purse.

I ate one.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Alarm! Alarm!

[–] Nougat@kbin.social -3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Seems like it would be especially simple to inject a banana with something that you would not want to ingest.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The thought struck me, but my gut feeling told me it was fine. I was young and naive at the time, though. I feel confident I wouldn't have accepted that banana today.

Edit: I think it was the absurdity of the situation that put me at ease. "If she wants to drug me, why bananas..", was my thinking.

[–] psivchaz@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

Let this be a lesson to future criminals: if you want to dose someone, put it in something absurd to lower their guard.

Relevant username!

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The likely hood of a banana filled with semen is not zero

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Air travel is cruel to the animals sitting in the lower decks.

But preferable to abandoning them.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, a banana. The type you sit on

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 66 points 2 years ago

I'm sure this won't stress the bird out so much it rips out all of its own feathers like a psychopath.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The name of that user is very disturbing. Translates to "Perineum pie" from Finnish

Grundle gingersnap?

[–] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Best part of the pig!

[–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

gooch hooch?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I was just thinking that they have an awesome username

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

"So you're feeding the cockatiel to the crocodile?"

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Pleass I keep my crocodile AND his pet firebird ghost in his ball. He likes it there and I have a headphone jack so I can listen to his tasty jams while hunting down the Lousy Three.

[–] phuntis@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought this was talking about the sas and was very confused didn't know sas was a thing

[–] Ebber 3 points 2 years ago

I was confused even though I am a Scandinavian,

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

Your cockatiel tears aren't fooling anyone.

[–] WillFord27@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not a fan of SAS. Every time I've flown with them their cabin pressure is all fucked up

[–] Krukenberg@feddit.ch 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

What aircraft? The ATR is imo generally shit at keeping pressure, but their NEOs and 350s has been great.
