Comment on This gay tortoise is older than the word “homosexual”
samus12345@lemm.ee 3 days agoNo, I just think it’s cool to see an animal in such an old photo that’s still alive today.

I don’t think that photo is from 1886, not with those vehicles in the background. So I assumed it was a joke comment or AI, but all the subjects had normal finger counts, so I assumed joke.

The photo is from 1947, not 1886, according to my hasty googling.
The tortoise is from ~1832 and still alive and would’ve been around 50 in 1886.

You’re right, I made a mistake, I put the correct one in.
