Fatphobia Containment Thread

As a hobby ornithologist, the last one is especially offensive. Their English name is so funny, I wonder how anyone couldn't have at least made the obvious "Hey, look at those tits!" joke at least once before.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

The Americans apparently also like to call them chickadees, which while less funny is more whimsical.

And I dunno about you guys in the New World, but tits are effectively the most common small birds over here next to sparrows. Not knowing what the fuck they are is just bizarre.

[Kugelfisch]

Any other order of bird is less common than sparrows. Birds are actually sorted between "sparrows" (Passeriformes) and "not sparrows" (Nonpasseriformes), that's how large the order is.

But you'd be surprised how many people don't know jack fucking shit about birds at all.
I have unironically heard people thinking, more than once, that: the black "blackbird" and brown "blackbird" are two different species; confusing starlings for blackbirds; not being able to tell a crane from a stork.


Without fail it's always people that only care about their personal, high-school-level bullshit that don't know nothing about anything and walk through life utterly oblivious about their surroundings.
People that couldn't name the closest planet to Sol or what "Sol" even is.
People that couldn't recognise a single kind of tree.
People that don't know what the tide is.
People that speculate on a thunderstorm on a consistently cold winter day, just because they spot dark clouds.
People that don't know or care about anything not pertaining to their immediate social circle.

They always know what the current newest iPhone is or when Stephany got a new haircut, though.
I can't even begin to describe how insufferable I find that particular kind of "Last Human" normalfag.

I don't know anything about birds, except how to appreciate them living around and to leave them alone.

People that don't know what the tide is.

Tide goes in, tide goes out! You can't explain that!

The phenomenon you're describing should be called "cityfagging." It's when you have a very small level of interest in anything outside of the confines of city living.

You should educate yourself about birds. They have some of the best tits in the animal kingdom.

I'm not a washed out Mashable winner, so I do appreciate our little feathered friends. I just don't have the right kind of autism to bother learning everything about them.

[Kugelfisch]

I'm not extreme about it. After all, I don't know all names of the breeds of cows here either.
But some fuckers can't identify a swan or a pigeon. That's just incredible to me. You see them every day.

Never has it been easier to inform yourself about what is going on in your surroundings and never have people been more comfortable with being absolutely ignorant about it.
But dumb shit that doesn't matter at all, that they know of. Like having never-ending conversations about nothing with three people at the same time.

Seems she managed to add some more flourishes to her current Kuwait Arc.
She's still doing her usual thing of eating for a family of four while talking about the next meal for a family of four she'd like to gorge herself on (which is somewhat disturbing already), but she's also trying - and failing - to make her thumbnails more clickbait-y. Two of them tease about her husband having a "second wife", which is of course bullshit because the dude's effectively autistic and she would get triggered af about a rival.

Then she did her first "try on haul" in a long while, but there just like her regular hauls (aka she's putting on ill-fitting grandma clothes while coming across as even more special needs than usual).

The filters are working overtime hereShow

And then there's the grand highlight I've already spoilered with that first picture: She used some dirty-looking swimming pool - featuring her husband's first on-screen appearance in months. I'm not actually sure if either of them can swim, but she should be alright with that much fat.
And I'm not sure if they couldn't find a burkini in her size, or if she didn't consider it "modest" enough. Whatever the case she wore at least two layers of loose clothing - which didn't turn out to be a good idea, because when she flopped into the water she effectively waterboarded herself.

I think she might legit drown herself if she keeps doing thisShow

Looks like a former crude oil basin.
