59 comments

I want one of those (in the Antarctic/Poles though)

So huggable!

Megafauna is (are?) dope

Good that they provided both the Emperor penguin and human penguin for scale.
- Wenk wenk wenk!

Based on that description, that dude on the left is a tall fella.
- 1m90ish is 7cm taller than the average Dutch male.
- Including large boots, hat, and hood. And also fairly tall.
- Trump would say it was him but he was even bigger than mega penguin and more handsome. Also love how guy is out there in his timbs
  
  mega penguin
  MAGA penguin

Another one for you. there are no extant true penguins. What we see now are covergently evolved flightless birds. True penguins went extinct.
- Wait what? Damn I didn't know that.
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_auk
  The great auk (Pinguinus impennis), also known as the penguin or garefowl, is an extinct species of flightless alcid that first appeared around 400,000 years ago and became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only modern species in the genus Pinguinus. It was not closely related to the penguins of the Southern Hemisphere, which were named for their resemblance to this species.
  
  rest impennis
- ?!
  
  Only pingwings, no penguins.

it's just a dude in a costume

I was planning to, but work has been hell today. I’ve barely had any time to shitpost.

Megapenguin Grandpa: Kids, did I ever tell you about when the Gigapenguins overthrew the Terapenguins?

Well now I want to talk to you about an extinct species of hairy-ass elephants. And they had hair all over, not just on their ass!
- Fun fact, they were bald everywhere else.

I could take him
- I think he fits in my car. I could take him too.
  
  Dude don't you have a department of health and human services to run?
- The girl will still date him over meeting you in the woods.
  
  Of course, he is 6'7 after all.
  
  But her dress is actually blue.

Strong lovecraftian vibes here.
- Yeah, somebody didn't read their At the Mountains of Madness.
- Those were albino iirc.
  
  Yes, and 6 ft. tall

Ok but was it a true penguin, or a false penguin like all the extant species today?

- All modern penguins are pseudo-penguins.
  Penguins are the Linux mascot.
  sudo sounds like "pseudo" (unless you are one of those people who pronounces it Sue-dew or sud-Oh, in which case, I don't like you).
  Sudo penguin. Heh.
  
  Jesus, who says 'sud-Oh'?

I want one! Gimme!

Still can't fly, pathetic
- I mean, can you?
  
  No, but I'm not a bird 😎
  
  I can go on a plane, the fact that they cant is a certified skill issue :3

Waluigi's fursona.

I want this as my next album cover.

I bet it tasted so good. Like pork or something
- Most seabirds taste like oily fish but with the texture of chicken.
  
  Hot damn, fry that bad boy up and give me some tartar sauce
  
  That sounds perfect tbh. I love fish flavour but mostly don't like the texture.
  
  I was really sad to learn this, penguins look tasty.
- the human urge to eat literally anything except plants
  
  Is this the healthy eating lemmy??? Mind your business soyboy
