Did you know that penguins have a special anus able to withstand a much higher psi than most animals?
They need this so they can squirt their poop away from the egg they're keeping warm.
Of course there's so many penguins in close proximity, this means they're all covered in shit and smell bad.
That last sentence is golden
I have first hand experience of the smell, I was told this by a scientist on our way to Antarctica.
Here's the research paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.00926
Just to put the smell in perspective….
Is it worse than a sack of spoiling potatoes?
I've never smelled bad potatoes, but penguins eat mostly krill so just imagine tons of fishy poop
It’s not a smell I can really recommend, let’s just say it’s the most, uh, memorable smell I’ve smelled.
(Specifically cleaning dormitories over summer. Someone left a sack. Ac was turned off.)
im fascinated by the fact that some people actually go to Antarctica
you don't have to shout, we hear you well enough

Penguins have very modern social habits. There's been numerous instances of gay penguins, and they'll even adopt any extra eggs.

so.... got any weird and gross facts about the weather?
if you cover yourself in oil and then go out in the rain you can fly
Instructions unclear. Got arrested for streaking.
I never said to get naked first shrug
Floods aren't just water but also everything the water picks up in the process of flooding, which is pretty much everything in its path, including the contents of things normally kept in water below ground. And if you think it's bad for humans needing to cross through flood waters (or stuck in them), think about the fish that have to live in water but now it's mixed with all the gross land animal stuff in addition to the normal gross water animal stuff.
if u hold ru poop for a month are sprint u run on the water
Give me your grossest animal fact
Koalas poop in their babies' mouths to feed them
No they don't
Edit: omg they do what the fuck
Glad to be of service
Oh gawd. Why am I reading these?
This is why I tried to steer the conversation to the weather.
When a mother hyena gives birth, she squeezes the pups out of her massive cock. This is horribly painful and will sometimes result in her cock exploding or ripping off.
Dolphins are very rapey. Bunch of males sometimes get together and gang-rape a female for hours.
~~that explain their high iq~~
^that explains their iq
It's the same for me. Except the stick says "long, uncomfortable silence."
I just try to be comfortable with the silence; if they're uncomfortable that's on them.
More older I am, more I think that I have some brain damage as for social interactions. It always feel like I am overthinking how should I react in most instances, when for other people it's probably more natural. Although I must say that people tend to be always smiling or being nice around me for some reason, and to be honest I don't get it.
