I once saw a pigeon swallow a giant fish that was being fed to a seal, and after eating it it literally couldn't fly anymore

Seals can't fly to begin with.

Elusive*, you'll probably try to correct me and say that you meant "illusive" but that's not the right use-case for it anyway.

I once watched a shag swallow a huge eel. The eel didn't want to be swallowed. It took about 15 minutes.

I read here that you just need to selectively activate your genes.

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

which isn't as far fetched as it seems, seeing as how we already get goosebumps
