Pfannkuchen-Fledermaus-Fisch zum Vergleich

Ozzie, that's not what I meant when I said to go eat "the snack that smiles back!"

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

That is exactly the donut bat’s POV.

Pfannkuchen!

My thought exactly!

How do we know it's a jam doughnut? What if it's a custard doughnut?

[–] afb@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Reddish tint around the mouth suggests jam IMO

[–] catharso@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

what if mustard?!

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In Austria this is a "Krapfen" and they taste great!

Only bat-shaped gummies, i'm afraid.

Krapfen are the traditional snack in the time called "Fasching"/Shrovetide, which starts on 11.11. on 11:11am, and lasts until "Faschingsdienstag"/Shrove Tuesday.

Probably the least dangerous thing to eat there

[–] essell@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Can I check which country you think the previous post was about?

1/4 of all mammals are bats 🤯

[–] flora_explora@beehaw.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just to be clear:

1/4 of all mammal species are bat species.

But only a tiny fraction of all mammals are bats.

Or this might be a giant conspiracy and there are trillions of bats living in underground cave systems and only come out when no one is watching!

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

And only a fraction of those are jelly filled.

[–] reactionality@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pretty sure I'm not 1/4 bat 🤔

[–] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago

I'm pretty sure I've seen you up all night eating mounds of snacks while hanging upside down by your feet

AI could never comprehend this meme

Convergent evolution

But taste different

[–] Vitaly_Chernobyl@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this how COVID-19 started?

It was freshly made, so they couldn't help but take a whiff of that delicious smell. The rest is history.

Do you want a pandemic?

Because that’s how you get a pandemic.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Depends on the pov though, the donuts hole is very different compared to the bats hole.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I now think donuts look like bats

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Chinese buffet donut
