Well I have hope. It might be unlikely but that doesn’t make it impossible. And if it ever happens that one is officially captured or whatever I want you to remember me.

Sister you might want to sit down for this surprising info: Bigfoot isn’t real. The thylacine is. And extinct animals are rediscovered regularly. Like the Galapagos tortoise that was officially extinct for 113 years and the Voeltzkows Chameleon was extinct for 107. The University of Queensland considers it “highly probable” that the thylacine was still alive at least until the 90s based on video and photograph evidence, which again- Bigfoot isn’t real. The thylacine is. So it’s apples and oranges to try and make that comparison between them. Even the ivory billed woodpecker has just last year been likely photographed again. Like am I crazy here? Thylacine isn’t a cryptid. It just hasn’t been seen in a long time. Have you heard of the coelacanth? We only knew about it from fossil evidence until a fisherman found one living!

Heres a list of other animals once thought to be extinct

Good news! There have been sightings and paw prints found. She’s out there!

Same! And then it even started the same way. I was already laughing at a good prank

I called them that too. I think I remember a Flintstones one.

Haven’t visited Reddit since I came here last summer. I love it here. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours

Keep trying though

Wait I don’t get it. Please send help. Is it like a flowchart?

That was a fun read Thanks for sharing

Here are two friends chatting. Right friend tries to tell a story about “showing” something . Left friend (annoying friend in this meme) interrupts the story to label right friend as “showerrr”, meaning someone who shows.

In the second frame left friend is in a shower, a play on the word from the first frame.

Do you like having memes explained for you? We at NataliePortland work hard to deliver meaning to memes. Please consider making a monthly contribution to keep meme explaining alive. As we near the premier of The Boys season 4 on Amazon Prime, meme explaining is more important than ever.

Yes but knowing that he was a gobshite made him wise

Scrub daddy is good because it lasts much longer than the standard sponge, and you put it in the dishwasher and it keeps going. Scrub mommy is the opposite IMO. It’s significantly more expensive than standard sponges while offering nothing different.

I need to get off the jinternet

This post has 859 upvotes right now? Wow! Seems like lately I’m seeing the numbers climb higher and higher and I love it! We’re growing! Although when I check the lemmy user count on Fediverse Observer it looks like we’re actually losing users. So what gives huh? What’s the big idea, huh? COME AAAAHHHNNNNN EH!

Bro I’m planking right now!

No I don’t find them annoying. I used to be a street performer, I did a 20 minute show with balloon animals and I would get volunteers from the audience and have them act out funny bits. It was a great time and it paid for a summer in Copenhagen. I’ve also made balloon animals for tips all over the world and performed with circuses and performers. So for me, I think that just like anything else there are bad ones and good ones but the good ones are fascinating, talented and hard-working. I knew two sword swallowers from New Zealand. they made good money from their show but told me they wished they never started. They cough up blood and every time they worry it’s their last. But the pay is so good it’s like an addiction they can’t quit. I knew a few “cocks on unicycles” as you called them and they were by far the highest earning elites of the street performers. I saw a man earn $1200 a show 4 times a day. Then after a week he would pack up and go to Oslo or Rome or Sydney for a week.

To me they are living the dream. They have all the freedom in the world, they get to be the center of attention, spread joy and get paid. I learned so much from them, and most of what they know is learned from The Butterfly Man (who I also know). The Butterfly Man was not the first street performer, but he was the first to write the basic outline of the “street show” as most people do it today. First you set up a LIMO- that is a Large Impressive Metal Object like a giant unicycle. This draws in the first spectators. You ask them to stand back a bit. Now there is room for more observers. Then you start by “warming up” a few tricks. As more people join, you tell them to scooch in closer. That’s importand because when people stand far back they feel uninvolved and won’t pay at the end. Get a volunteer up on stage. That part is tricky and I can tell you a lot about how to do it right, but it starts with trust. The volunteer is important to get people laughing. Do a warm up trick with the volunteer. Then set up the finale but DO NOT DO THE FINALE yet. You need the “hat line”: 2 jokes and one serious statement about how and why to put money in your hat "now folks if you put in 5 dollars thats great. If you put 10 in that’s amazing. But if you put in 20, that’s normal (laughter). But seriously folks this show youre watching is my job it’s how I survive. Please support street theatre with a donation. "

Then the finale and pass the hat (the hat is where people put money).

There’s so much interesting psychology to it, how the way people stand in a crowd affects their behavior, and the way the suspense adds to their enjoyment, and how getting people to say “1! 2! 3!” actually makes them have more fun.

It’s more that cities tend to make people liberal. Some folks in small towns have never met a Muslim person or a Korean person. They have only a family tradition of racism in their small white racist town. People in cities have to live alongside many different types of people, and get to eat different foods and have different experiences. That cures racism.

Cool! I saw a bat in Caldas da Rainha

My work blocks lemmy.ml but not many other instances. Unfortunately all the heaviest memes are on lemmy.ml ! I just want to look at fun memes instead of my lame ass patients what’s wrong with that
