it reminds me of the DEEPLY communal feeling of Weird Twitter where digital archaeology events like this would bond radically different weirdos. love hellrope
i know, factually, that everyone in this circle was only like 2 or 3 social jumps from me, but it still feels like connection with people from all walks of life, and i guess that's all my monkey brain wanted
did you know that a woodpecker uses its long stiff tongue like a spear to stab bugs and then wraps it around the back of its head when it's not using it
cassowary’s are terrifying so this is probably why an anthropomorphic one was made the villain of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (I don’t think they did the talons justice though)
one time I saw the cassowary at the Denver zoo LOCK ON to a toddler and start stalking him. wikipedia says they're not predators but I swear that bird wanted to eat that kid.
a year or so later that same cassowary escaped and the zoo went into lockdown
I was attacked by an ostrich as a toddler. Big birds r just waiting for an excuse to activate the velociraptor murder power. Why do they hate toddlers so much???
