Just in time for the release of the new dead in the eyes emoji.

The Internet must have broken my brain since the first thing I thought of was wojaks

TBH I’d still rather have the Asian one if I had to choose. They’re slightly more domesticated which implies intelligence and willingness to cooperate with humans. African Elephants will just kill you.

Yet I remember reading somewhere african elephants were tamed before their asian counterparts.
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 1 year ago
I doubt there are many left today. Most of the taming, both African and Asian, in modern history and even historically before that has been done in India and Indonesia, pretty far from the Savannah. In fact, the taming of African elephants for clearing timber in the Belgian Congo was done by employed Mahouts, if I’m not mistaken. No idea who the mastermind behind circus elephants was, but I think the last 3 in all of Europe died a couple of years ago. One famous African Circus Elephant was Jumbo, which just adds to the notion that it was rare.

I’d be surprised if any humans have that.

In my opinion… All baby animals are kinda cute. Exept about 50 % off birds. They look like they are part off an unholy experiment.
Jarvis2323@programming.dev 1 year ago
I’m think your saying the one on the right is a bird. But then you have to consider the documentary about the one on the left learning to fly. So if I guess both animals are birds.

Elephants are birds and capybaras are fish.

Well you can’t expect the clearance birds to be as nice as the full price ones!

All baby birds are grotesque until they grow feathers.
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 1 year ago
TBH the feathered fledglings are kind weird in the uncanny valley sense, too.

Baby humans are most certainly not cute… More like a over baked potato

half of human babies are just… fine… and the other half look like old british men at a pub

Agreed, the first 6 months/one year they can look seriously fucked up.

Some birds come out half-baked. Needed another week in the egg.

Baby spiders?

They’re so cute until they get off mom’s back and become nightmare sand.
