there aren’t enough posts going around about the swedish cryptid known as the skvader which is a rabbit with pheasant wings and also a very good boy.

like this one dude just made a fake taxidermy and spread it around as a hoax for a good ass while and it lead to this really cool fantasy creature and i am genuinely dissapointed that it never gets used in anything

Rabbirds, by the amazing @tkingfisher/Ursula Vernon (source).  

The lack of skvaders is particularly frustrating when you realize it forms the third point of a wonderful cryptid trifecta.

You got the jackalopes, which are rabbits with antlers.

And you got the wolpertingers, which are rabbits with antlers and wings.

And then… what? Do you escalate? That’s unbalanced, those two rabbit cryptids don’t have the same number of extra things, the wolpertinger is clearly the jackalope But More.

BUT with the skvader on the other side, balance is restored. Antler rabbit, winged rabbit, winged antler rabbit. It’s a classic Venn diagram of imaginary lapine beasts, and it’s only complete if you acknowledge the fucking skvader.

Good thing Ursula’s got our back, at least.

This is a really excellent point and I applaud your advancements in Cryptid Theory.

Gentleman, if I might add:

yes you may add this

I think balance in crypdids is VERY IMPORTANT.

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

We are receiving unconfirmed reports that it is bedtime. Citizens are advised to get into their pajamas and remain on high alert

It's so weird to me when people are like 'but that will cost the government money!' So what? They're the government, they're supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.

Well bless his heart

Final Destination movies are getting a lot lazier

I work a labor job near a very big tech headquarters, so I see these musktrucks every day and interact with their owners frequently. And I've come to realize that a lot of these guys are desperately insecure in their masculinity. Which isn't a stunning revelation or anything. But like, the insecurity is rooted in the nature of their work and the 'traditionally masculine' skills they don't know a lot about and are very, very fragile about. And this truck is like, a magical bridge for them, over that gap. Or it's supposed to be, that's what I think it is marketed as in a twisted way. It seemingly combines things they are knowledgeable and comfortable with - techy gimmicky horse shit - with the things they don't know a lot about: tools for doing physical work, which affirms the masculinity they feel alienated from.

Because no matter how much money they make, how successful they are in the tech hive city, they still get bent out of shape when they encounter physical problems to solve like the one in the picture above. Because it's outside their domain of experience. And society tells men that they should be, not only knowledgeable about these things, but masters at it. And they aren't.

But if they buy Elon's cybertruck , maybe they can become more like the rugged, capable jock their dads always wanted-

It's really sad. It's funny, don't get me wrong, but the more I interact with these guys and the more I understand what's wrong with them them, the sadder it is, too.

What’s funny is that this guy’s problem isn’t even that it’s a cybertruck; he just didn’t secure it right (or at all). 100% user error.
