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

Do you use Shopify for image hosting?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Nope, that was just the first appropriate image search result

What an asshole putting that obnoxious watermark on a picture he didn't take

Here's an insta of an actual Japanese wildlife photographer chock-full of great photos of this bird (among others)

tiktok automatically watermarks it when u save a pic from a slideshow

Oh, so they're the assholes.

Indeed, it's a really wonderful photo otherwise

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.

Reminds me of the indie game, Skate Bird.

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

Killer borb

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month 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.

Pictured above, a bird whose wings double as ears

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!

Sweet, a Long-tailed Tit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know it's a joke but it bugs me because foot-pound is energy not pressure

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

We all know that this bird is a murder hobo.

Which… really just makes it cuter.
