Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I'm afraid that this new favorite of mine might have contributed to the confusion ๐Ÿค”

Why do ducks even exist if chickens can do their job just fine??

Get back to me when chickens have built in kazoos

In French, poules is chickens, and said roughly the same as pool. So there's swimming poules in a swimming pool.

Is this the chlorinated chicken I keep hearing about?!

Is there a bird too dense to just float?

Like I think penguins even float don't they?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Most birds can float because they have hollow bones and waterproof fearhers, making them pretty buoyant

great, now Iโ€™m picturing birds floating in the air-- wait

Pretty sure dodos don't float any more :)

Not sure about density, but birds that aren't adapted to water don't produce the oil and don't have the interlocking feathers to trap air and make them float very well. And you'll find plenty of rescue videos of birds struggling to get out of water they've accidentally ended up in, e.g. owls, pigeons.
