lmao on the edinburgh zoo site it says “there is a daily penguin parade at 14:15 but it may be cancelled last minute as it is a voulntary parade, we do not coax the penguins with food, and they may not want to go out” lmao anarchopenguinism
this is the cutest goddamn thing i’ve ever heard
I saw the penguin parade. It was a very slow parade, because the
pingüinos take their sweet time and aren’t very fast walkers to begin with.
can I volunteer to be a penguin
I feel like the world needs to know the context of the edinburgh zoo penguin parade, becausr I’ve been going there my entire life and I only found out about this the other year.
So a while back (I can’t remember exactly when but I think it was some time around the 40s/50s), a bunch of penguins escaped. A keeper left the gate open so a bunch of penguins just… followed them. And the people loved it. Look at these adorable birds outside their cage just following that guy around! So they get all the penguins back inside and realise that none of them really ran off, they just followed the keeper and went back inside and crowd thought it was amazing, so why not make it a regular thing? Get enough people there that if one of them goes to make a run for it (which at least one has in the past), they can’t get past the people, and let the ones who want outside have a little wander. So every day, they get a crowd, they open the gate, and whatever penguins want to get out can go, waddle about, squawk at people, and then hop back inside.
Also, one of those penguins is Brigadier Sir Nils Olaf III, Colonel-in-cheif of the Norwegian King’s Guard. This isn’t really related to the parade at all, I just love the fact that there’s a penguin in the Norwegian army

Nothing, literally nothing could make me laugh harder than this did.

His name is Mehdi Sadaghdar. He’s an electrical engineer who definitely knows exactly what he is doing to himself in the name of teaching people the dangers of playing with electricity.
He has a YouTube channel here. He actually has some really informative content if electric current is something you care to learn more about!
“If he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row”
This Republican Senator is running against a Democratic candidate who is black.
In Mississippi.
Fellow Mississippians PLEASE vote in the runoff November 27th. THIS is the image on this fucking devil woman’s website. Blatant fucking Nazi.
yall this run off is crazy important. it could turn Mississippi, essentially the nesting ground of radical racism and willful ignorance, into a blue state.
