Lemmy has been yaking.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 8 points 8 hours ago

*sigh*

resets the board "Lemmy day without yak posts" back to zero.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Someone must have spent the better part of a week brushing that huge beast.

You know, I'm 52 years old and I don't think I've ever seen an up-close picture of yak that gave a good sense of scale. Those things are just cold-weather banthas.

Ever seen an Indian gaur? Fuckers are massive. They can get bigger than American bison.

Holy shit, that thing is a monster. They make cape buffalo look dainty and soft. :P

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I just had the same realization. Look at the size of the yaks head!

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

I had a similar realization about bison recently too, those things are goddamned huge, bigger even than that mid-sized SUV. Apparently they can get up to 3000lbs in weight.

Dude looks like he’s got a killer rendition of Secret Tunnel

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 27 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That's a Jim Henson creature that's about to guide that dude through a maze. You can't convince me it's not.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

Smell bad!

Rocks friends.

How do they mount that nose ring without hurting it? :(

[–] Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee 0 points 2 hours ago

They have to romance it first with a bit of corn.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The nose ring is pretty much necessary. Bulls (in general and I assume for yaks its the same thing) lose their respect for humans the older they get. It can then happen, that they try to attack a human to demonstrate, that they are stronger (which they are). In this case this nose ring is the only way you can save yourself. Grab the ring, turn it and suddenly a raging bull turns into a quite submissive animal.

You have guesses why I chose my name.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

That dude is such a vibe, but the yak still steals the spotlight completely

[–] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

I want to hide beneath its fur coat until it’s safe again.

[–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemm.ee 6 points 22 hours ago

I absolutely agree. We need more Yaks on Lemmy

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I thought they smelled bad on the outside.

[–] Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

But they are sweet and tasty on the inside.

I don't know. The last time I smelled the inside of one, it was pretty bad. My buddy got lost in a blizzard, so I rode my yak out to find him. When I finally got to him, he was so hypothermic that I had no other choice but to use his weird religious laser gadget to cut open the yak and stuff him inside. It was so nasty that I made the above remark.
