I got to feed endangered African penguins once at an aviary! They just swallow whole fish (whether in the water or tossed to them though the air), no need for prep.
Fun fact, they secrete all that fish oil right onto their feathers (it helps them glide though the water), but that makes them little stink monsters! Seriously, penguins smell rather terrible haha.
Added fun facts: they have teeth in their throats to haul the fish down, and the fish oil secretions are stored in a gland near their tails!
Weird that they keep flightless birds in aviary, but penguins are my spirit animal so I’m jealous.
Wow, that’s… kind of disgustingly intriguing of evolution…
Nothing wrong with Ubuntu if you just wanna get stuff done and don’t have a genuine interest in (or time to spend on) tweaking your OS.
I use Ubuntu btw.
What about snaps though?
Honestly asking since I’ve never actually used them
Oh yeah I forgot about those, I think I actually disabled the snap service, or maybe I have a couple of things via snap but only small gui utilities. I use apt and dpkg for everything else, but it was annoying that they made Firefox snap only since 22.04 unless you add the extra apt repository. Easy enough to work around it and move on though.
Fuck snaps.
ludocode.com/blog/flatpak-is-not-the-future <— talks about snaps for a bit too
There is lots wrong with Canonical imho, but this isn’t the place for it.
Debian here. IMO “btw” is purely reserved for a particular distribution and you know which one it is.
When I have even the smallest bit of time and headspace to dedicate to it, I will switch back to Debian as it was always my favourite but really can’t deal with it at the moment.
you know which one it is.
As of the latest dumpster fires over there, they’re wanting to hide it nowadays!
I use Ubuntu at work. I don’t even care, it’s legit 500% faster than my Windows laptop, despite being objectively lower-speccd.
Same, one LTS to the next, and all online tutorials assume you’re on it. My years of messing with fstab, alsamixer and such are long behind me.
(Started on mandrake in about 2001 btw)
Same here. I use Ubuntu BTW.
He must have given her the shiniest pebble on the planet because that looks fucking delicious ngl
And as a fellow seafood lover, I want some of what you’re smoking.
I mean what the hell is going on in the top and bottom right quadrants? What’s with that bright orange noodle slop? And I can’t even begin to describe what the other thing is supposed to be. Also, no cocktail sauce? No butter?
Bottom right Mushroom wild rice, top right is wasbi mayo. I think the fish are smelts. The imitation crab and shrimp im not sure about.But the rest of the plate I can say is indigenous cuisine and native to my area. Very delicious for the most part epsiecally the wild rice.
I want some of what you’re smoking.
Is the pun intended?
see: Smoked seafood, smoked salmon
Different cultures, different eating habits.
You’re taking the piss? That looks like a dog’s breakfast. Like bile at the back of the throat.
You get that different cultures have different cuisine preferences, right? That honestly looks pretty good to me accompanied with a plate of rice.
I thought that was otters. Do penguins gift too?
as opposed to a wild penguin.
The Zoo is animal prison.
Yo, can I be a zoo penguin, please?
“I wanna be someone’s penguin” sounds kinky, not gonna lie
Favorite pasta sauce: orange.
Like how Gatorade is blue.
Gatorade is yellow-green, you heathen. Anything other than lemon-lime Gatorade require the qualifier.
What is the orange stuff at the top middle and what’s the chopped stuff on the bottom right?
Spicy mayo as a condiment, and looks like clams without the shells
I didn’t think penguins could have Mayo
That’s so much mayo lol
Glad I looked at this comment cuz that looks like fucking easy cheese or Velveeta or something to me and I was like what the fuck??
Top middle looks like Mac and cheese. Not sure what the bottom right is, almost looks like crawfish or something vaguely prawny
That’s spicy mayo (mayo, Sriracha, lime)
The bottom is mushroom wild rice, I think. Very popular indigenous dish in my area. Its amazing!!
Gross…Ubuntu
Is this secretly some sorta recipe for making his dong go/stay up?
Yes, Kyle, those grapes are probably very sour
I can confirm. You can do a good 20 of them with the same patter.
