Oh lawd he comin’

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 66 points 3 months ago

You can’t convince me that that’s not an Orca.

Orcas have always been friends to humans that do not own yachts.

"Saruman the White has ever been our friend and ally" Get away from that computer, killer whale!

But ye, fuck yachts

the allies of the Chumash are slow to action but their loyalty and their memory is unquestionable

Hmm, "1200-600 CE"?

Looks like it should be 1200-1600 CE (or AD).

Oh no, nobody tell Nintendo about this. They'll be sharpening their copyrights and salivating over patents.

It looks like a fun chair.

Guess Nintendo's going to have to sue Akira Toriyama's estate, then.

It's funny how only the sex toys have survived this long

[-] VubDapple@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

It's beautiful but the neat part is he's smiling

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

If it squeaks when you squeeze it i’mma freak out

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Careful with the drugs.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 8 points 3 months ago

Maybe whales looked different back then.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 8 points 3 months ago

Archaeologists be like: "It was likely used for ritualistic purposes"

[-] MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

That whale has seen some things

[-] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 3 months ago

Vaginas, probably
