It also propels itself forward by discharging high velocity watermarks.

I liked the meme, but your comment got an actual chuckle from me. Thanks for the laugh, friend

For those interested in this species, this is actually called a "Long-tailed tit". This particular one is of the caudatus subspecies, recognizable by its pure white head, like this

[–] Agent641 13 points 4 months ago

Do you use Shopify for image hosting?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Nope, that was just the first appropriate image search result

The photographer who took this photo barely escaped with his life.

I heard that the bird actually tracked him down and murder him shortly after. They found the camera's SD card is the only thing still intact at the scene.

It's a really cool bird

Reminds me of the indie game, Skate Bird.

If there is one thing I've learned from Physics, is that everything is relative.

[–] pdxfed 9 points 4 months ago

That's a snowball.

Did you mean pounds per square inch? The foot-pound is a unit of torque. That number would make more sense for the force generated by its wings.

It's a japanese bird, that should be Pascal.

[–] veganpizza69 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Unless you mean the specific individual in the photo, it's not Japanese.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

No non-metric area in that picture, the core of my joke still stands :P

[–] A_A 1 points 4 months ago

think of the bird's claw as a small torque wrench ... similarly, when we unscrew the cap of a jar, we notice that our hands have a limited torque capacity.

Sweet, a Long-tailed Tit.

Pictured above, a bird whose wings double as ears

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Hard to unsee

Has anyone measured the impedance of that bird? It could be in the trillions of ohms! Terrifying if you think about it!

[–] FuglyDuck 3 points 4 months ago

We all know that this bird is a murder hobo.

Which… really just makes it cuter.

Pssssh. The bag is wet, move in! Pssssh!
