Otters spotted in Bronx River for first time in 2,000 years!

In a shocking turn of events, otters have been photographed in the Bronx River for the first time in over two millennia.

In a more shocking turn, followed quickly by an even more shocking third turn, it seems that otters both love Mayor Mamdani, and also seem to be quite homophobic.

The Mayor's office has let us know that they're still working on how exactly they plan to cheer on the first half of the message from the otter kingdom, while making it clear that Mamdani does not condone that last part at all.

Reporting from inside this black rectangle you're looking at, I'm Leeroy Thompson. Uncrowned king of Oregon.

Did you know that from a taxonomic point of view, otters are actually classed as arachnids?

Oh no. You think somebody would do that? Telling lies on the internet?

They wouldn't dare! People might believe that. Because, to translate Angela Merkel: "The Internet is a new world to all of us."
Also because sarcasm doesn't travel well in written form.

I just got off the phone with an otterologist and found out that it's actually completely true.

That's terrifying, spiders are scary and if otters are hiding more legs in there somewhere then we should kill them all.

... so still 250 years? Is that how this works?

Abyssian@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1d

lol no the Ark Encounter teaches that God made the Earth (flat) like 4,000 years ago and hid dinosaur bones and stuff just to fuck with people. Then he drown pretty much everyone, because he's an abusive alcoholic. When things dried out he founded America.
