‘sure that happened’ but moving on from that and taking it from a comedic stance: The absolute chaos of balloon harnessed roadkill just floating into traffic idk, fucking amazing mental picture there, lmfao. Or just dropping in front of a school bus and splattering on the windshield, children screaming, etc. There’s def a couple comedy sketches that could be done there.
I didn’t understand any of that.
What is a wet specimen? Wouldn’t it take a bunch of balloons to float roadkill?
Why is a wet specimen and flying roadkill similar?
I’ll do you one better: what’s roadkill?
Dinner.
Spoken like a true wet specimen!
Animals that have been hit, and killed, by cars.
a wet specimen is a dead creature preserved in liquid
Now I need to know how many dollar store balloons it takes to float a raccoon.
Somewhere between 500 and 2000, or more depending on weight.
Yeah I knew anything bigger than a squirrel would require something ridiculous. I’m thinking even a squirrel would set you back a bit given the scarcity and price of helium. The balloon is the cheap part.
Helium is portrayed as second most abundant element in the universe. Not scarce at all. Our ability to collect and make use of it, that’s scarce.
A squirrel would probably need about 100 balloons.
Next useless project: design a small rigid airship for roadkill disposal.
There’s a lot of optimization that can be done to make OEM raccoons flight worthy.
Yep. We can place them on a diet, shave their fur, pump them full of helium… We have the technology.
Can you imagine the confusion of a dead animal just falling in your front yard and witnessing that? This coworker’s spawning a whole ass religion
The gods must be crazy
…I need to get funnier coworkers.
No, I think he’s got a point
i am thoroughly disturbed
