Because this is Lemmy and we like anecdotes here, I have one for ya.

A couple years ago, during one of my many attempts to get fit, I went for a walk. At some point between my venturing forth and returning home, a wild turkey had come between me and my home.

I think it was female but I have no idea. The point here is, they're pretty big in person, and I had to decide as I was walking toward it... if the turkey didn't move? What if it charged me? What if it was aggressive, like a goose? I was stunned how unprepared I was to deal with this wild animal that I had apparently been living near for most of my life.

Anyways, long story short, I decided I could take a turkey in a fight. The turkey seemed to know that I had come to that decision, because as soon as I prepared myself to kick a turkey, it got out of my way.

The lesson here is, turkeys read minds, and as soon as you're sure you can defeat the turkey, it will allow you to proceed unmolested.*

*Just my opinion. Don't sue me if you lose a fight against a turkey. Also, if you lose a fight against a turkey, that just proves you didn't believe in yourself hard enough.

The snood is for reading minds. If it is damaged it will assume it can take you and fight.

TIL a snood is basically a Turkey face dick, which is an excellent band name.

Are you subscribed to both comic strips and science memes as well? Great communities.

If you’re reading this article, you’ve likely witnessed the magic of a tom’s chameleon-like head

That's a wild assumption
