They tried to eat fricking bike seat, man. Also I admire they even thought about giraffe. lol

You don't know what that seat said about the birds mother! (Prob nothing, it's an inanimate object.)

The giraffe thing is just a kink, don't judge :).

Seems like they like thighs. :)

Heheheh was waiting for that

They will try to see if you fit as well, just shamelessly be like "oops, guess I can't swallow you, have a nice day then!" Waddles away

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

The "can do" attitude, because they aren't named Pelicannot.

[–] Squibbles@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

or a small/medium sized bird, or a rat, or anything that will fit really

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or anything that doesn't. You never know until you try.

I don't like that cartoon pelicans at always jolly and relaxed, whilst everything I have seen about them is that they are just massive assholes

Or a capybara that is just sick of that pelican's shit.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

looking deeper in that mouth is... concerning.

That revelation is shared by pretty much everything that's had that sudden experience. Most of them lived, it would seem.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 10 points 2 days ago

Or maybe a capybara.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

Or maybe a newborn human child.

Freind berd. Very nice and camfy.

Damn, I kinda want a poster of that to hang in my bathroom, right across from the toilet.

And I definitely want a decent quality copy of the original pic lol

That is the strangest looking horse
