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?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

Nope, that was just the first appropriate image search result

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.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

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.

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

[–] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] eldain@feddit.nl 6 points 1 month ago

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

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 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.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

We all know that this bird is a murder hobo.

Which… really just makes it cuter.
