    Ever seen a wild turkey? They’re basically velociraptors. The toms have big sharp spurs on their legs and they will attack you if they even think you’re looking at a hen funny.

        Who’s to say all raptors for all time have not been similarly delicious? Based on how every bird I’ve eaten so far has been yummy, I’m guessing a breaded, bacon-wrapped V. osmolskae would be tits.

        I’m not disputing that. But if you want to kill them, do it from a distance.

        For all I know, bear is delicious too, but I wouldn’t want to face one off up close.

          Shit, I know that Deer and Antelope are delicious. I still wouldn’t want to attack either one with anything less than a modern compound bow and arrow.

          Bear is delicious, and good point.

    See also: my budgie eating carrot. Everything is covered in shredded carrot. I’m not sure if any of it actually gets eaten. Maybe he just enjoys decorating the apartment

      Huh… You made me look up birds sense of taste and it varies from dozens to hundreds of taste buds. Humans have thousands and catfish have over 100,000. Neat!

        As a hot pepper fanatic, I love this trivia:

        Birds don’t have receptors for capsaicin, the chemical that makes peppers hot. They could chow a bag of Moruga Scorpions with zero effect.

        Evolution’s idea being, birds will swallow the seeds whole, poop them all around. Mammals will chew them up and destroy the seeds, so they evolved a defense specifically against us.

            I mean, if it propagates its offspring in a way that allows seeds to spread, it’s doing very well

              Turns out that the best way to propagate is for humans to like eating you so they’ll build entire farms to harvest you.

                Ahh so Bananas are the true royalty of the world.

                Farmed so much they became inbred and almost wiped out. More than once

            As a species, we actively search for food items that are borderline toxic, for the fun of it and because it flavours our food.

    I love how this screenshot still has the trimmings of the original device including the battery as if it was necessary for the rest of the meme.

      I commend your commitment to not only not tracing the original capture. But posting a heavily compressed bad quality screenshot, that was badly cropped anyways.

      And some people say shitposting isn’t art.
