I'd love to meet one of those few. A skateboarder eating that much krill has to be such an amazing spectacle

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 19 points 1 month ago

I wanna see a whale do a kickflip more, that would be wicked as fuck!

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago

Pretty cool, but I think I'd rather watch a teenager in baggypants break the laws of physics entirely by consuming multiple times his body mass

[-] silasmariner@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago

What that fuck? I was just having a piss and I fucking read your comment and - it didn't, but - what if my snort of laughter when I did had caused my fucking urine stream to shoot back and to the left and fucking soaked my spare toilet rolls? Did you fucking think about that when ou posted? FFS.

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Apologies, I hadn't considered the impact my comment might have on the urinary tract of innocent readers

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Are you, by chance, a dolphin or whale?

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 1 month ago

I think we've just reinvented the Xgames.

[-] owl@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

They do there belly flops, where they rise from the water and splash on it. I suppose that is pretty close, but I have done neither.

A shark can swim faster than me, but I can outrun a shark. So in a triathlon it comes down to the bicycle part.

[-] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah but monkeys have hands on their feet, so they can pull on the pedal's upstroke as well as push on the downstroke ☝️

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Tri bikes usually have clip-in pedals so humans can do this too.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 30 points 1 month ago

very few whales, not 0. That's something I want to see!

Kickflip ≠ Backflip ≠ Peanut flip

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago

Just because you've never seen a whale do a kickflip doesn't mean they can't.

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 month ago

They would just rather not

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Wouldn't they do flipper-flips instead?

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

The inventor of the trick was human, so the name stuck.

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Does one need feet to kick?

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

One needs legs, I'd say, so a spider can do 4 kickflips at once

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

It only says most can't - but we'll never be able to prove that such a whale does not exist at all.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 10 points 1 month ago

Despite being a shitpost this is actually quite a positive statement for your own mental health

[-] Altrex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
[-] owl@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

I kick people and flip em off. Does that meet criteria?

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's true, I can't even put away a million krill before I start feeling like a glutton.

[-] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Bro... if you're not downing at least 10M krill per day, the Kraken wins.

[-] Una@europe.pub 4 points 1 month ago

I can drink hydrochloric acid without dyeing

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Watch out, that stuff can die your clothes.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

All clothes dead, even the little socks

[-] Morganza@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 month ago

Socks are cemetery of unborn kids

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I had my first class on heterogeneity in the classroom today and the teacher would have loved this tweet

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

Why not share it with teacher?

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I’d have to wait two weeks, because she doesn’t check her email, but I already bookmarked it
