Despite being a shitpost this is actually quite a positive statement for your own mental health

A shark can swim faster than me, but I can outrun a shark. So in a triathlon it comes down to the bicycle part.

I'd love to meet one of those few. A skateboarder eating that much krill has to be such an amazing spectacle

I wanna see a whale do a kickflip more, that would be wicked as fuck!

Pretty cool, but I think I'd rather watch a teenager in baggypants break the laws of physics entirely by consuming multiple times his body mass

What that fuck? I was just having a piss and I fucking read your comment and - it didn't, but - what if my snort of laughter when I did had caused my fucking urine stream to shoot back and to the left and fucking soaked my spare toilet rolls? Did you fucking think about that when ou posted? FFS.

Apologies, I hadn't considered the impact my comment might have on the urinary tract of innocent readers

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 3 points 13 hours ago

I think we've just reinvented the Xgames.

Just because you've never seen a whale do a kickflip doesn't mean they can't.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago

It only says most can't - but we'll never be able to prove that such a whale does not exist at all.

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 14 hours ago

They would just rather not

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Wouldn't they do flipper-flips instead?

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Does one need feet to kick?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

very few whales, not 0. That's something I want to see!

It's true, I can't even put away a million krill before I start feeling like a glutton.

[–] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 hours ago

Bro... if you're not downing at least 10M krill per day, the Kraken wins.

I can drink hydrochloric acid without dyeing

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Watch out, that stuff can die your clothes.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

All clothes dead, even the little socks

I had my first class on heterogeneity in the classroom today and the teacher would have loved this tweet

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Why not share it with teacher?

I’d have to wait two weeks, because she doesn’t check her email, but I already bookmarked it
