Ozzie, that's not what I meant when I said to go eat "the snack that smiles back!"

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

That is exactly the donut bat’s POV.

How do we know it's a jam doughnut? What if it's a custard doughnut?

[–] afb@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Reddish tint around the mouth suggests jam IMO

[–] catharso@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

what if mustard?!

1/4 of all mammals are bats 🤯

[–] reactionality@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure I'm not 1/4 bat 🤔

[–] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago

I'm pretty sure I've seen you up all night eating mounds of snacks while hanging upside down by your feet

[–] flora_explora@beehaw.org 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just to be clear:

1/4 of all mammal species are bat species.

But only a tiny fraction of all mammals are bats.

Or this might be a giant conspiracy and there are trillions of bats living in underground cave systems and only come out when no one is watching!

And only a fraction of those are jelly filled.

In Austria this is a "Krapfen" and they taste great!

[–] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably the least dangerous thing to eat there

[–] essell@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Can I check which country you think the previous post was about?

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Only bat-shaped gummies, i'm afraid.

Krapfen are the traditional snack in the time called "Fasching"/Shrovetide, which starts on 11.11. on 11:11am, and lasts until "Faschingsdienstag"/Shrove Tuesday.

Pfannkuchen!

[–] flora_explora@beehaw.org 1 points 1 week ago

My thought exactly!

Convergent evolution

Is this how COVID-19 started?

[–] SanctimoniousApe 3 points 1 week ago

It was freshly made, so they couldn't help but take a whiff of that delicious smell. The rest is history.

Do you want a pandemic?

Because that’s how you get a pandemic.

[–] ComradePedro@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

AI could never comprehend this meme

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

Depends on the pov though, the donuts hole is very different compared to the bats hole.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

But taste different

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I now think donuts look like bats

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Is that white-nose syndrome,?

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Chinese buffet donut

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

No, this is a jelly donut.
