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

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago

Oh well that's ok then.

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

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

I dk he looks like he's enjoying it.

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago

You've earned me chip, big fella

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

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

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days 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.

Quit ruining my narrative with your facts and logic!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

What flavor is it?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Ooh and that's alright, I'm ok

I'll pet the albatross

For one more day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Carlos for scale.
