Did this need to be an AI image?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 56 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

I unironically really like the way roadrunners look. Excellent example of a bird.

Top 10 birb of all time

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

I expected them to be a LOT bigger. Because of the cartoon, I thought they were a little bit smaller than the emus that I grew up around. Nope little fuckers are like 1.5 feet in length and 1 foot in height. Chickens are much fatter.

Too aerodynamic I like my birbs round

Fucking Ai slop

[–] th3raid0r@tucson.social 35 points 4 weeks ago

I think I speak for all of Tucson.social when I say fuck this AI bullshit.

Next you'll tell me coyotes can't operate catapults or rocket shoes or even paint brushes!

Do they not even have business cards???

[–] knacht1@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

They got Steve Fosset's credit card after he crash landed his plane..

I start seeing it IRL now too, it's fucking disgusting.

Wily was literally starving all the time. He wasnt able to run top speed because he didn't have the energy and his muscles are atrophying.

Though this is still mostly all his own fault. He always bought machines to try and catch the road runner instead of exercising and if he could order dumb contraptions, he could have also just ordered Domino's.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 weeks ago

He did live out in the desert, probably outside the delivery range of fast food.

Wasn't he shown eating canned food at various points in the cartoons?

[–] Kobibi@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

I think his name is Wile. Wile E. Coyote

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Got an ass load of money and a mail system that's damn near as fast as the road runner though seems like his ass could have ordered canned food faster.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 weeks ago

Also the entire point was that he was incompetent

[–] Fourth@mander.xyz 24 points 4 weeks ago

That image is beneath you fossilesque.

[–] BaseModelHuman@lemmy.world 21 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

How fast can coyotes run on just their hind legs though?

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 9 points 4 weeks ago

Those that do compensate with a vast intellect.

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Half the limbs, half the speed.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 weeks ago

But Wile E. Coyote didn't run after the Road Runner. He was a "Super Genius" so he used traps and contraptions and purchased solutions to achieve what he was above. If he had just chased after the Road Runner, he would eventually catch it.

That is part of the joke.

Iirc there's an episode where he chases RR and catches it, then scratches his head for a bit wondering what to do next.. then ties it to a rocket for no reason, with entirely expected outcomes.

Do you really need to ask?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Wile E. Coyote Is not what we would call a good coyote.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'll have you know he's a super genius.

Hey, fuck you and let me enjoy my childhood cartoons.

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 9 points 4 weeks ago

Meep! Meep!

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago

What is this ai slop

Disney lies to kids all the time. It was Disney that came up with the lemmings jumping off cliffs en masse idea. Turns out, it was just someone off camera literally shoving them off the edge. Mass murder, not mass suicide.

[–] dotslashme@infosec.pub 1 points 4 weeks ago

The enjoyment was very real
