What is the definition of "paleo art" here? Where/when is this from?

Ooop: https://twitter.com/jordantyranny/status/1497255806802219009

Likely artist: https://www.demilked.com/animal-anatomy-compared-to-human-satoshi-kawasaki/

Palaeo just means prehistoric, it's an extinct megafauna.

Got it: https://twitter.com/satoshikawasaki/status/1162132620479614976/photo/1 that's the artist, worth taking a look through his media tab on twitter.

Of course it's from Japan.

Oh, I took that to mean ancient cave art or something. No wonder I was confused.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Ah yes, you can use it for that too!

"Have you made sure to hug a giant penguin while having a constipated grimace on your face today?"

Even primitive men needed a hobby.

This is a rare situation where I appreciate that the illustrator covered his junk, but I don't totally feel comfortable with the how they covered his junk.

"Do I have a human on my back? I do, don't I? God damn it..."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He looks grumpy :( possibly from the implied cold

"it's ok buddy, just let it out."

I too would hug the bird.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

How could anyone not?

If you have arms, and meet this charming giant, you hug it. From behind because that's a big fucking bird and it will try to eat you, but you still hug it.
