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.

[–] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah but monkeys have hands on their feet, so they can pull on the pedal's upstroke as well as push on the downstroke ☝️

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!

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 8 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

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.

Are you, by chance, a dolphin or whale?

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 8 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 18 hours ago

I think we've just reinvented the Xgames.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 23 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

Kickflip β‰  Backflip β‰  Peanut flip

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

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 12 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 8 points 19 hours ago

They would just rather not

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Wouldn't they do flipper-flips instead?

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Does one need feet to kick?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago

One needs legs, I'd say, so a spider can do 4 kickflips at once

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 13 hours ago

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

[–] Una@europe.pub 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I can drink hydrochloric acid without dyeing

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Watch out, that stuff can die your clothes.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

All clothes dead, even the little socks

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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 18 hours ago (1 children)

Why not share it with teacher?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

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