Thx for putting all the pixels back in that OP took out

[-] Aurora_TheFirstLight 20 points 4 months ago

They had to crop the name of the artist there was no other way to publish it

I'm getting strong Hotline Miami vibes from this comic.

Press R to restart

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 5 points 4 months ago

Love Hotline Miami, it's a bit of a mindfuck, but so much fun.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 37 points 4 months ago

Typical Hotline Miami run.

You're not a nice person, are you?

Owls can only turn their heads 270 degrees so your "360 Degrees Owl" headline doesn't work. The comic is fine since the owl only turns it head 180 degrees there.

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 27 points 4 months ago

I mean, if they can turn 270 degrees in either direction then I suppose they can cover 360 degrees, just not from resting position.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I really doubt they can go 270 degrees in either direction.

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

You are wrong but recent research indicates that I may in fact also be wrong 😭😭

Owls may actually be able to turn their heads a full 360 degrees | New Scientist - https://www.newscientist.com/article/2413893-owls-may-actually-be-able-to-turn-their-heads-a-full-360-degrees/

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

That's still not 270 in either direction, that would be a total of 540!! That's seriously exorcist shit

I know it's not a scientific paper or anything, but a quick search led me to Smithsonian Magazine's article:

"Owls, on the other hand, can rotate their necks up to 270 degrees in either direction without damaging the vessels running below their heads..."

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I stand corrected, owls are indeed some exorcist shit

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

You made me doubt myself lol, I was like "you're right, 540° neck turning range seems excessive so I should do a search"

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 23 points 4 months ago

There's something so surreal about this. Tigers in suits. Tigers killing by severing heads instead of like a tiger (or human) would do it (I'm pretty sure this wouldn't work anyway, the body would twist). Anthropomorphic bodies, but not in a furry way. A brutal murder comic to show a little science fact.

This feels like secret agent training material in an alternate world

[-] quoll@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 4 months ago

hoot hoot mother fucker

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 11 points 4 months ago

Ironically, the assassin would be better without shoes

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 7 points 4 months ago

Spoiler much?

Hootman: Codename 47

Why does the guard start as some sort of mammal and then turn into an owl when it's attacked?

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

There's two guards my dude.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 8 points 4 months ago

The first guard was killed by neck snapping, the second guard was immune

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

Object permanence.

[-] emptiestplace@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I also struggle with these things.
