You laugh but I avoided my patio for a couple of weeks waiting for birds to eat a big worm. Finally, I realized it was a toy French Fry. Shhh!

One time I was scrolling through Discord on my iPad, when I saw a huge spider crawl across my screen. Threw it so it landed screen-first and stood on my chair cowering for a whole 10 minutes before I nervously flipped it over and found out it was GIF someone posted 😂

suzie10k.bsky.social•70 days ago

I totally get that 🤣

jamescimino.bsky.social•70 days ago

Hahahaha you guys! 😂😂

beckythegreat.bsky.social•70 days ago

I would still watch it

dilong96.bsky.social•70 days ago

I genuinely feel bad for this man, he spent his entire life trying to fight for the natural world only for his twilight years to be filled with the horrors of a dying planet and the realization that nobody wants to prevent climate catastrophe. He deserves the world but the world gives him nothing.

daffysaturn2.bsky.social•70 days ago

He has a voice similar to Morgan Freeman. He could read me the user manual on equipment at work and he would make me listen with great interest. Now I wish I had him do a audiobook for my payroll textbook for school.

toastiepostie.bsky.social•70 days ago

😆😆❤️

jeffunktified.bsky.social•70 days ago

This was after he referred to earthworms as “master bait” in front of the camera during the b roll

theclevermonkey.bsky.social•70 days ago

Not him. You leave him alone.

josieteckart.bsky.social•70 days ago

And we believed it. Fool me once David, shame on you!

alondrabae.bsky.social•70 days ago

Send me a private message here

civilm.bsky.social•70 days ago

But his voice and narration are so fine, we all listened raptly and never noticed.

Attenborough Lost his fastball a long time ago.

slriley.com•70 days ago

But he did it in a very nice way.

mjhuk.bsky.social•70 days ago

Sir David Attenborough if you please.

bbigras.bsky.social•70 days ago

It's just a made up title from an obsolete monarchy.

mjhuk.bsky.social•70 days ago

He got an award from his country for good deeds done. What have you done for yours? Yes the Monarchy needs to be more like the rest of Europes, less stuffy and overpaid.

sasooli.bsky.social•70 days ago

They can be as stuffy as they like as far as I'm concerned, after we take back all their undeserved wealth.

bbigras.bsky.social•70 days ago

"He got an award from his country for good deeds done.". His country/monarchy has no power to impose a made up title over us. We can respect and love Dave regardless. He's actually way more than that silly title. The whole planet loves him.

philthebrit.bsky.social•70 days ago

Oooh, We've gone to war over less!

bbigras.bsky.social•70 days ago

What is worse? Insulting Dave or the inbred monarchy?

(I actually love Dave very very much, I just despise the other thing).

cgpymm.bsky.social•70 days ago

Insulting Sir D for sure. As for the monarchy, go nuts.

He was just glad it wasn’t a toad. Guy hates them so much! https://youtu.be/RA3s65KK3yc?si=bbnbtK5h6aEEg_rb

Attenborough: "A marvel of evolution... hatched in China and resting here before it's long migration to Bass Pro Shops."

michiel3282.bsky.social•70 days ago

Witty, apt, and I hear it in his voice. Excellent addition, thank you for this comment.

shonlittle.bsky.social•70 days ago

Thank you!

roadieric.bsky.social•70 days ago

It's not dead,
it's only sleeping! 🤷 🦆

ryanmack1.bsky.social•70 days ago

Top notch

fakemrpopo.bsky.social•70 days ago

tcfka-stevas.bsky.social•69 days ago

I mean, I'd still absolutely listen the shit out of it

guy8q.bsky.social•69 days ago

Should've gone to spec savers.

bcbarber.bsky.social•70 days ago

People would still listen

resilientboomer.bsky.social•69 days ago

To be fair, some of those decoys are pretty realistic.

wanderingpen.bsky.social•70 days ago

Even more weird, he used a duck call to attract it.

notdontrmp.bsky.social•70 days ago

Absolutely hilarious! David Attenborough’s been outshone by a decoy—talk about a ducking disaster! Guess even the greats get confused sometimes. But hey, maybe he’s just preparing for the quiet of a real political debate.

valbart.bsky.social•70 days ago

That's funny right there 🤣

queenofbabble.bsky.social•70 days ago

😭😭😭 I'm laughing so hard at myself right now because for literally years I kept telling my husband about the cute ducks in the pond near daycare that were always nuzzling each other. And finally, he was like, you know those are decoys, right?

stoneface58.bsky.social•70 days ago

Still better than Trumps press conference!

jimb9.bsky.social•70 days ago

randomdudeontheweb.bsky.social•70 days ago

It's alright David, we make mistakes at work sometimes

designerplant.bsky.social•70 days ago

My Grandmother is close to passing. Her estate is between 2-4 million dollars. What are my mom and Aunt arguing about and threatening litigation over? Some fucking Duck Decoys they think might be worth a few thousand dollars.

rjshook.bsky.social•70 days ago

@rtme.bsky.social

bettywebb-writer.bsky.social•70 days ago

I LOVE the Onion!

chaosf1sh.bsky.social•70 days ago

Okay but like, we can all agree this has definitely happened, right?

fygar.bsky.social•70 days ago

🤣🤣🤣

autocratonasofa.bsky.social•70 days ago

You can laugh. I leaned an awful lot about that duck decoy.

lindsayhartwell.bsky.social•70 days ago

I love that man. He can put me to sleep like no other. (And that’s a hard task. I have to be comforted by your voice in order to fall asleep to it. Otherwise I’m wide awake listening.)

grigorylukin.bsky.social•70 days ago

"What a magnificent decoy! 😌"

glorifiedape.bsky.social•70 days ago

Honestly? I’d probably watch it.

redhareracing.bsky.social•70 days ago

That’s quackery

rsspbxx.bsky.social•70 days ago

🙂

voicefromthemtn.bsky.social•70 days ago

Well, it is rocking slightly with the movement of the water. It is not perfectly still.

hornsovbaphomet.bsky.social•70 days ago

10/10 would watch

nananickey.bsky.social•70 days ago

🤣

sistermarycat.bsky.social•70 days ago

You laugh but my mother allegedly spent a pleasant afternoon watching duck decoys in a pond. It led to years of duck gifts for the poor woman.

terath-ninir.bsky.social•70 days ago

He would NOT be embarrassed. An OG like him doesn't get embarrassed like mere mortals.

notacunningplan.bsky.social•70 days ago

No.
No
Too far, he's a national treasure......

jrugg1128.bsky.social•70 days ago

I used to drive by a nursing home with a fountain in front with a handful of ducks in it. I told my husband once how much I enjoyed seeing them. He said, you know those are decoys, right?

ndrichter.bsky.social•70 days ago

I want a video podcast in which Attenborough and Werner Herzog sit and watch nature clips and then settle on a narrative for each. It would be both tremendously beneath them and also a damn good show

monsterislandnyc.bsky.social•70 days ago

Lol

buckquivas.bsky.social•70 days ago

We've all been there.
