It also propels itself forward by discharging high velocity watermarks.

I liked the meme, but your comment got an actual chuckle from me. Thanks for the laugh, friend

For those interested in this species, this is actually called a "Long-tailed tit". This particular one is of the caudatus subspecies, recognizable by its pure white head, like this

I like tits of any colour

Do you use Shopify for image hosting?

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

Nope, that was just the first appropriate image search result

What an asshole putting that obnoxious watermark on a picture he didn't take

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Here's an insta of an actual Japanese wildlife photographer chock-full of great photos of this bird (among others)

tiktok automatically watermarks it when u save a pic from a slideshow

Oh, so they're the assholes.

Indeed, it's a really wonderful photo otherwise

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

The photographer who took this photo barely escaped with his life.

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 8 points 2 years ago

I heard that the bird actually tracked him down and murder him shortly after. They found the camera's SD card is the only thing still intact at the scene.

Reminds me of the indie game, Skate Bird.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

If there is one thing I've learned from Physics, is that everything is relative.

[-] rustydomino@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Killer borb

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

That's a snowball.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 9 points 2 years ago

Did you mean pounds per square inch? The foot-pound is a unit of torque. That number would make more sense for the force generated by its wings.

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 9 points 2 years ago

It's a japanese bird, that should be Pascal.

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Unless you mean the specific individual in the photo, it's not Japanese.

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 6 points 2 years ago

No non-metric area in that picture, the core of my joke still stands :P

[-] A_A@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

think of the bird's claw as a small torque wrench ... similarly, when we unscrew the cap of a jar, we notice that our hands have a limited torque capacity.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

Pictured above, a bird whose wings double as ears

Hard to unsee

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sweet, a Long-tailed Tit.

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Has anyone measured the impedance of that bird? It could be in the trillions of ohms! Terrifying if you think about it!

[-] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I know it's a joke but it bugs me because foot-pound is energy not pressure

[-] oo1@lemmings.world 1 points 2 years ago
[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago

Pssssh. The bag is wet, move in! Pssssh!

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

We all know that this bird is a murder hobo.

Which… really just makes it cuter.
