You think I'm big? Look at the weird hairless ape on the right!

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

He wants to fuck that bird, doesn't he?

[–] AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Oh well that's ok then.

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

Made you look!

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] lath@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

When their pecker is bigger than your 'pecker'...

[–] Pothetato@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

You've earned me chip, big fella

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

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

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago

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

That dinosaur is about to eat that 8 year old boy, is nobody doing anything?!

Original Illustration to Samuel Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", 1798 (not colorized).

[–] rulray@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Sergio@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] tavostator@feddit.org 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This reminds me of that one subreddit, “science diagrams that look like shitposts“ or something like that?

Ooh and that's alright, I'm ok

I'll pet the albatross

For one more day

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Nutsack biting height, there I said it are you fucking happy?

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Quit ruining my narrative with your facts and logic!

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Carlos for scale.

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

i just realized the only way for me to actually comprehend their size is to think of them as glide-flying swans
