If you zoom in really close, they aren't touching because they 'ain't gay
It ain't gay if feather layers don't compress.
Can't be gay anyway.. if they don't wear any socks, right?
37.78 Celsius for those who don't know freedom units offhand (including me, I had to search the conversion).
0° Fahrenheit is human body temperature.
0° F is an ice and salt mix below freezing.
Is... Is that second F a C?
And what is 0° Fahren?
That's just going straight.
So just about human body temperature, pretty neat
It's actually Mr. Fahrenheit's wife's body temperature on one particular day. Luckily she happened to be human.
It’s actually based on emperor penguin huddle temperature, humans just happen to have the same temp.
Thank you for your service my hero
It's actually quite impressive that they don't get crowd crushes
You bet they used to but those populations dies off and those who didn't crush themselves survives. That's called evolution.
So what you're saying is we haven't had enough Black Fridays yet
Yes
Understanding why and how would be valuable
Superb local avoidance algorithm
Because they're soft and fluffy!!
That's really cool
That's kind of hot
No homo
Such a huddle of penguins is called a pengle
I thought it was called a Linux
It's a kernel.org
I don't believe you but I'm using this now
Just the tips
Huddle for warmth
