    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.

    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 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.

    Because life is not only about necessities, but also having fun.
