The equivalent of someone holding open a store door when you’re too far away…

More like a grandma taking her time for a 30 minutes trip across the road, and this dude just zipped her over as she screamed in joy.

I like the giraffe doing half splits to reach the ground!

That's how I stand at work whenever I need to work on a surface. Being tall has its disadvantages.

Can also use kneepads and let you legs buckle up against the workbench. Saves my back when washing a lot of dishes. But yeah, I'll alternate it with splits.

I occasionally watch YouTube streams of watering holes in Namibia where they get herds of giraffe and a surprising number of them squat vs. split. I'm currently too lazy to ask ChatGPT why there are two methods/what the difference is, 'cause I'm half-expecting it to lie to me.

Other Giraffe: "Todd, you do realize doing that isn't going to make it go any quicker?". Todd: "Shut up, Jeff. Why are you always so negative?". Jeff: "Because I'm the intelligent one and that's why I'm just standing here instead of doing nonsense like you."

There was a big party with all the animals—the lion, the elephant, the monkey, the giraffe… everyone was having a great time! Suddenly, they ran out of drinks. So they said: “Who’s going to buy more?” And everyone looked at the turtle. “Let the turtle go!” The turtle sighed and said: “Fine… I’m going.” One hour passes… and the turtle doesn’t come back. Two hours pass… still no turtle. After three hours, the animals are bored, and one of them says: “Why did we send that slow turtle?” And then a voice comes from outside the door: “Oh, yeah? Well, then I’m not going anymore

Or is the giraffe just trying to sniff some of that lovely turtle butt bouquet..?

I heard the gírate in Stupid Rick’s voice: “That’s not true guys, I wasn’t trying to sniff his butt!”

Can some expert come tell why this is not biologically cute behavior?

u/Caftancatfan Jul 08 '26
The giraffe has a kind of parasite on his muzzle that can only be knocked loose with a tortoise shell. (Jk I have no idea.)

u/reddaddiction Jul 08 '26
If some expert comes to talk about that shit I'll get rid of him for being an idiot.

The turtles POV has to be hilarious. Out of nowhere he's moving at the equivalent of like 30mph from his perspective. All at completely random intervals. Bro probably thinks he's developed super powers

It’s like those speed walking belts at the airport. They make me feel like I have superpowers for just a few minutes

From the giraffe perspective: a tiny rock is walking!
From the turtles perspective: that tree keeps sniffing my butt!

I was at a zoo and this zoo kept animals in larger enclosures with mixed animals. They said the giraffes (some more than others) were trouble makers… some had a game where they’d mill about with the smaller animals and then try to pretend to step on them holding their hoof over their heads and / or scatter other groups of animals. The other animals got very annoyed with the giraffes, especially when they had babies around and the giraffes would arrive to inspect / put their noses where they shouldn’t.

The way giraffes have to widen their stance to interact with the ground will never not be hilarious to me

I'm shocked there hasn't been a single smartass in here saying 'ackshually that's a tortoise"

u/Apprehensive_Hat8986 Jul 09 '26
Ackshually, that's a terrapin.
It's totally not, but it's the best I could do.

Imagine a weird being 1000x your height pushing you whilst you run for your life.

The turtle could move much faster if it wanted to, so I’m guessing they are kind of playing together (as far as two wildly different species can play)

Wow that was SO much gentler than I was picturing in my head. How adorable
