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

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

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

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.

I dk he looks like he's enjoying it.

You've earned me chip, big fella

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

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

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

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?

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??

[–] Sergio@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month 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.

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

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

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month 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.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ooh and that's alright, I'm ok

I'll pet the albatross

For one more day

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Nutsack biting height, there I said it are you fucking happy?

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

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

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Carlos for scale.

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

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

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

Two choc-ices please.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

i just realized the only way for me to actually comprehend their size is to think of them as glide-flying swans
