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.

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

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

[–] Pothetato@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

You've earned me chip, big fella

[–] lath@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 10 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ooh and that's alright, I'm ok

I'll pet the albatross

For one more day

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

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

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

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 year 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!

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

Carlos for scale.

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

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

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

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