For some reason my first thought was “whale”

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That would be pretty memorable...

If this is anything except ODOT exploding a whale I will be disappointed...

edit: booyah, a user of culture is what you are.

Blue is usually islands. Often used for counterspells and other instants.

Land, like a whole continent, on the shoulder of a girl

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Would atlas shrug?

Land on the shoulder of a little girl in a princess costume.

The raptor. From the Jurassic World series.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pretty sure they're referring to a Hooloovoo.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Now there's a hoopy frood who really knows where his towel's at.

I'm going to guess 'bluebird'

Eagle. Ripped her head right off, and flew away with it.

I once saw a guy get struck by lightning. Well I didn’t see it exactly since it was blindingly white followed by some moments of confusion. But one minute I was talking to him from across the street. He was under a palm tree about to get into his car. The next minute I was on the ground, he was on the ground, the top of the palm tree was charred and on fire, and on closer inspection the tires of his car were melted to the driveway. Not a cloud in the sky, so obviously the “May lightning strike me if…” jokes haven’t stopped near 20 years later.

Thank you for specifying “once”

[–] artifex@piefed.social 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well I wanted to be clear that I wasn’t talking about Roy Sullivan.

My neighbor? He's fine. He was deaf for a few days and weirdly the palms of his hands were burned but it doesn't seem like there were long-term effects.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Actually common in lightning strikes. Exit path gets burned to shit but otherwise you can be weirdly ok. The shock wave is what does the most damage

I once saw a good guy shoot the Evil insurance CEO that was responsible for thousands of deaths and endless suffering.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago

i think his torso just did that

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

Shut up, no you didn't. The CEO ran into a bullet. Nobody saw anything.

I once saw a barmaid singing along to a popular song, and jump onto a table while singing. The whole bar joined in, singing and dancing. Moments after the song ended, my friends came back into the room, where everything was back to normal, and they didn't believe that anything had happened!

When my cat tries to run she first dosen't have enough friction with the floor and keep running for a second on the same spot and then go away fast as fuck

[–] oozynozh@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

we call that "peeling out" when my dog does it

Whale maybe. Would be crazy to see a Chevrolet flying through the air

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

When I was a kid, I fell asleep on a camping trip after eating way too much candy, and a relative got a picture of me with a humming bird examining my mouth. Literally, "Honk, shoooo, mimimimi..." I was so bummed out that I missed it.

In a similar vein, I was at a baseball game once when I felt something yank on my hair. I whipped my head around to find a hummingbird hovering next to me that had apparently mistaken my hat for a flower, stuck its beak into one of the holes on top, and pulled on my hair.

There's a trope about people and their dogs looking alike: I once saw a three legged dog being walked by a person with a leg cast.
