[–] lemmyknow 2 points 16 hours ago

Let me tell you all a story 'bout a mouse named Lorry

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Doesn't really show the friggin' massive wingspan of the damn things, though...

wiiiiide bird

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Your armspan is your height..what does this pose accomplish?

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Hm, how tall is the person? I mean people's size varies. You can be under a meter or 2m 10.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Never let a bird with a beak that size get it that close to your junk.

I know albatross are big, but I can't stop seeing it as an abnormally small man petting an abnormally well-behaved seagull.

You think I'm big? Look at the weird hairless ape on the right!

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At that size it gets difficult to imagine having one hung from your neck.

[–] AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He wants to fuck that bird, doesn't he?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Oh well that's ok then.

[–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

God literally used the scale-up tool on a seagull. I guess it was a Friday afternoon in the animal design bureau.

I dk he looks like he's enjoying it.

[–] tavostator@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This reminds me of that one subreddit, “science diagrams that look like shitposts“ or something like that?

You've earned me chip, big fella

[–] lath@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

When their pecker is bigger than your 'pecker'...

Indeed, in a little maids dress and apron, selling an albatross during the movie intermission.

Underweight my ass. Poor bird is so fat and out of shape that it couldn't even attempt to flee... :(

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a chick: they just waddle, play with hay, and do flappies while waiting for their parents to occasionally feed them. Albatross chicks are huge.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Quit ruining my narrative with your facts and logic!

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 days ago

If risky to put dick in mouth, why make it friend sized?

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

That's the expression of a man who just had a random naked encounter with an albatross. It's a mix of befuddlement and wonder.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 10 points 2 days ago

That dinosaur is about to eat that 8 year old boy, is nobody doing anything?!

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 days ago

What flavor is it?

[–] Sergio@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Original Illustration to Samuel Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", 1798 (not colorized).

[–] rulray@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was think of this! How the fuck did he hang that from his neck??

[–] Sergio@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I didn't realize that when I first heard it. I guess that's why it's a punishment. If they just hung a tiny parakeet off his neck, it wouldn't be much of a punishment.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Ooh and that's alright, I'm ok

I'll pet the albatross

For one more day

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Carlos for scale.
