Uh Oh! You Misunderstood A Social Cue And Said Something Mildly Awkward. You Will Think About This And

would u guys be mad if i started calling mint “fruit”

don’t worry about why i had to google this but this example sentence is killing me

Bird identification is so fucked up in a really fun way you can’t understand until you get into it. For example, there is a type of goose called the cackling goose that looks exactly like a Canada goose except smaller and “cuter”. The cackling goose is way, way, more rare in most places than its relatively common cousin, so it’s on tons of birders life lists. Everyone wants to see a cackling (look in any bird ID group to see lots of hopeful people posting petite Canada geese). The two species regularly commingle, so sometimes a flock of those common parking lot birds will have the equivalent of a Pokémon shiny just hanging out in the middle of them.

How ridiculous and fun is that? I can never look at a big group of Canada geese without scrutinizing their ranks for an adorable little extremely rare cutie pie cackling goose. It reminds me a bit of mushroom harvesting minus the risk of death if you get it wrong

PLEASE reblog, I have heard it on a couple of podcasts now and I'm genuinely curious how common it is! Also, if you feel comfortable with it, let me know what your accent normally is (Midwestern, Southern, New Englander, New Yorker, Minnesotan, whatever).

Sure says something when you ask someone what the general demeanour and personality of the bird they’re rehoming is and all you get back is “they’re loud”

Ty so much for that very helpful totally answered my question

In a very southern accent, affectionately: Aw well just bless their little hearts, they're trying

(Translation- [affectionate tone] well they're so cute but they're dumber than a stack of bricks)

Your friend has betrayed us all

my friend told me that her boyfriend got her a super cool rock while they were on vacation together and you would not BELIEVE my disappointment when i realized she was talking about her engagement ring

Ummm an 11??

I have elaborate storylines your small minds couldn't even begin to comprehend. Hm? Write it down? I think not. I should only daydream about it
