Even our wildlife needs mobility scooters

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

but hey, we can always strap some fusion-powered mobility thrusters and it'll soar with the best of them, right?

(also, while we're at it, lets give them control of their shits and train them to shit on trump.)

I would welcome this reply in any thread. And from now on I expect to see it in every thread.

[-] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I hope to see it in the thread after the presidential debate.

TL;DR he ate a racoon

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Be the change you want to see in this world.

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

You're right. This is my calling...

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 11 months ago

While it is nice, I hesitated. This seems to be an independent site, and if their revenue model is visits/ads, I dont really want to take away from them.

That being said, for this one I felt like the headline was too clickbaity.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

This could also be a convincing headline about RFK Jr

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!

WHERE EVEN THE EAGLES ARE MORBIDLY OBESE

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 46 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

In the early 2000s I worked at a company that had a small central courtyard in the middle of the building. All four sides of the courtyard were three or more stories high.

Pigeons used to congregate in the courtyard and pick for crumbs.

One day, a huge hawk came down and snatched himself a big fat pigeon.

He sat there for most of an hour picking at this bird. When he finally went to leave he couldn't clear the lowest wall.

We called animal control, they said if he's still there in 2 days let us know.

He crapped all over the place and by the end of day to was able to just fly out.

I'm not exactly certain that he wasn't hurt and just got better enough to fly out but it really looked like he just ate himself into a condition where he couldn't get back out of there.

It was also the only approved smoking location anywhere near the building. So all the smokers crowded into the far corner of the courtyard while the hawk held down the other half.

He was big, probably just shy of two feet tall. Any squawked it anyone that was anywhere near him while he was eating his pigeon.

freedom noises

[-] tal@lemmy.today 21 points 11 months ago

The bird was unable to fly after eating what is suspected to be raccoon roadkill.

"My ancestors hunted, but I mostly just sit by the side of a highway and wait for cars to do my hunting for me. They can even bring down deer."

Bald eagles are in fact scavengers. They’re shit birds, are not majestic, fuck with the real birds of prey, and steal their kills. Also they eat road kill, and their cry is disconcertingly discordantly cringe.

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Other than the word "eagle," this headline could be about me.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

If it makes you feel any better, I think pretty much every single other person is too fat/heavy to fly with our wings

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 2 points 11 months ago

Insurance said no.

[-] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Convergent evolution. Some eagles are evolving into chickens. A new species of murder chickens.

[-] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

They're just re-evolving lost traits.

WTF IS A KILOMETER!!!! RAHHHH 🦅 🔫

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I feel like Roger Alan Wade weren't singing about a God damn bald eagle, but never the less:

The ain't no wings on a pachyderm, it's too fat too fly
Ain't ko wings on a barn yard pig, it's too fat to fly
There ain't no wings on your fat ass and there ain't no wonder why

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I wonder if his insurance covers Semaglutide?
