Those berries never stood a chance

That is a very big hole for the amount of splatter that occurs.

[–] starik@lemmy.today 17 points 2 weeks ago

He’s very careful not to splatter that way.

It's like when I give my dog a hardboiled egg and either he swallows it on one gulp or I find bits of yolk all over the house.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

or they keep it in their mouth and find some safe place to destroy it and leave bits everywhere

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

That's exactly what he does.

Usually he sheepishly accepts with a soft jaw and walks over to his spot under the kitchen table where he'll lick it and savor it for a bit before he chomps down and eats the whole thing, and he's usually pretty good about cleaning up after himself.

But sometimes he takes it to-go, and starts chewing while he walks away.

That's when there's trouble. He's not very good at walking and chewing eggs at the same time.

There was a good long while when he'd try to take a drink of water from his bowl to-go, too. I dunno how he did it. I didn't think dogs were capable. But he'd just like get a slosh of water and hold it in his mouth and just let it leak out as he giddily pranced about the kitchen.

Dogs are the best.

This is how the stray I took in let me know she preferred eating outside. She picked up her bowl in her teeth and left a trail of beef chunks across the house, carrying the bowl outside to her preferred spot. We've agreed on eating outside when it's nice and inside when it's wet.

In case anyone still doubted that birds are modern day dinosaurs.

[–] Sirdubdee@piefed.social 19 points 2 weeks ago

I imagine he plays Huey Lewis and the News while doing this?

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 17 points 2 weeks ago

Well Clarice. Have the berries stopped screaming yet?

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I like that you outlined the doorway for us.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

lol I didn't notice that. Kind of weird.

[–] architectonas@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Seeing this really gives you an idea of why berries evolved to have their seeds spread all around.

[–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My favorite berry evolution trick is the mistletoe, where the berries make the poop sticky, so the birds will have to wipe their butts against tree trunks, and that's where the next one will grow.

[–] architectonas@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's amazing, thanks for sharing!

I bet there's a second phase too!

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Part of me wants to see a bird like souls boss, bit seeing how they made the bird like minor enemies in Elden Ring, I might actually rage quit a full on bird souls like boss xD

Bruce consumes in the flesh dome

[–] Miller@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

You need a pulled apart Barbie doll in there.

I recently had a fairly invasive surgery - sufficiently so that they made me stay overnight to make sure I could walk afterwards.

During my recovery I was in a semi private room. The other occupant was named Bruce. I saw him walk to the bathroom once, but didn't see any more of him than his butt (because of hospital gowns) until we both left.

We talked a lot, though. He was almost exactly twice my age, so our views didn't perfectly align, but otherwise he was very nice.

edit: I couldn't say for certain what he was doing on the other side of the curtain but I never witnessed him eating berries or occupying a dome.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Awww, that is lovely. I hope you and Bruce astound medical history with your recovery speeds. Their medical minds will look like a berry dome.

Khorne cares not from where the blood flows.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

Scamming Khorne with berry juice.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

It looks like cleanup after the merman in Cabin in the Woods!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

Should've called him Dexter

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Last name "Banner", by chance?

"Puny berry!" [Roaaaars]

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would've gone with 'Lee'

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, of course! Inventor and master of Tweet Kune Do! :D

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Dexter kill room.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Note like the thunderdome... Good thing some red fruit was left or it would have looked like a dexter scene

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

now teach him to do his own house cleaning

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

A lesson was learned.

[–] Kory@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What's wrong with his feet?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 7 points 2 weeks ago

Excessive murder
