holds up platypus with feathers glued to it BEHOLD! A BIRD!
removes feathers
And now it’s a man!
Adds fedora
Perry the Man?!?
Perry the feathered platypus?!
Now I really want an avatar style platypus bird. Imagine how cute a flying platypus would be!
Actually thinking about it, I feel like that would be the perfect representation of all four elements (venom has to count for fire, no?).
Aren’t they venomous?
That’s why they’re also fire! They swim, look like badger moles, and (if they had wings) they fly!
I have a feeling that if avatar had a platypus it would just be a platypus.
Now where did you find so many feathers?
camera pans to plucked chicken / man
Perry the bird ?
Airy Perry
Diogenestralia
Where’s Charlie? I need a lawyer well versed in bird law.
Plato’s duck
Everyone knows chicken are feathered men.
Feathered bipeds
When Plato asserted that man was a featherless biped, Diogenes stood, brandished the bald chicken and shouted, “Behold—a man!” Plato, perhaps missing the point of Diogenes’ criticism, then continued to amend his definition to “featherless biped with flat, broad nails.
It has been known for millennia that men are featherless chickens. Get with the program people.
But he’s not a man, he’s a Chicken Boo!
Not this turkey, unless your goose is cooked

In which view is chicken not a bird?
OP has been around since the Jurassic period, they’re having a lot of trouble to accept what’s happened to chickens.
Seen a chicken fly?
Also, penguins are fish.
Since when is flying the criteria determining being a bird? Are bats and moskitos birds? Are planes birds? And flying is certainly not a requirement to be a bird: are baby birds not birds? Are injured or diminished birds not birds anymore? Are kiwis, dodos, ostrichs not birds?
As for penguins I can be flexible depending on how you cook it.
Yes.
it’s clearly a man
Feathered* man
The view of immense stupidity and ignorance.
I suppose if you happen to believe that chickens specifically are the descendents of dinosaurs, but you don’t believe that birds in general are the descendents of the dinosaurs?
IDK. I’m having segment fault errors occur when I attempt to parse OP’s logical expression.
no the egg came first
Flawless deduction.
All you people mocking OP-- careful now, that’s a slippery slope and before you know it you’ll be believing that dogs are mammals.
But then why Pluto is a pet dog and Goofy is a human dog? Checkmate scientists.
Easy explanation: slavery.
OP is now a variable, and you’re decrementing him by one.
It’s ok, OP++, I gotchu
Chickens are birds, aren’t they? Just like how penguins are birds, and unlike penguins they can actually fly short distances.
Yes, chickens and penguins are birds
Source?
Eggs, beaks, feathers, warm blooded.
F-feathers?
We can probably just use process of elimination… They don’t have live babies or nurse their young, so not mammals… They’re warm blooded so not reptiles, amphibians, or fish… I think it’s self evident that they aren’t slime, mold, bacteria, or a virus… So, we’re left with birds
The ability to fly does not make a bird. Birds are actually a pretty easy group to identify. Does it look like a bird? Great! It’s a bird!
Except for bats.
Bats aren’t bugs!
Bats: have ears, don’t have beak, have skin wings, have claws on their wings.
The problem is that chickens and penguins don’t actually look like birds lol
Reminds me of some 20 questions-like tv trivia where someone asked “is it an animal” and the other went “well, not exactly an animal”. It was a bird. 😳
That reminds me of this clip. I showed this to a few people who also agreed that fish are not animals, at which point it turns into an argument about about Domain - Kingdom - Phylum - Class etc and I feel like I am losing my mind. Getting gaslit by stupid people is a frustrating experience.
Yes! I forgot about this one! The absolute confidence despite being so ignorant is really, really infuriating!
Some people already understand

Damn. And here I was, being a fool, calling chickens dinosaurs…
Nah, but dinosaurs were all chickens. One little asteroid and they all just died, like cowards.
Birds are dinosaurs in the same sense that people are tetrapods. Like, sure, it’s true, but it’s not a very specific statement.
No they’re dinosaurs
Birds 👏 aren’t 👏 real 👏
I love the meme but it goes so far sometimes I worry how many genuine believers there might be. Flat Earth 2.0
Last time I mentioned that birds are legitimately being turned into drones I received tons of negative votes. Be careful, the government WILL try to silence you
holding a chicken to the crowd BEHOLD! A BIRD!
Anyway, both chicienband ducks are dinosaurs. That’s what I tell my child. Birds are just a subcategory of dinosaurs.
Always two there are
Some folks fully deserve the bird
Wait until user IsEenYourShine gets to the part about dinosaurs.
Wait until he figures out Ducks, Chickens, and Alligators are all Archosaurs.
