Congratulations, good luck keeping this rabble under control! 🎉

[-] maam@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

Make sure to take care of the wankers!

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago

Congratulations! How bad was the hazing process?

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Pretty bad, they made me fight an albatross-sized emperor with nothing but bread rolls.

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 20 points 2 days ago

It's time to quiz the new admin.

Would you rather fight one emperor sized albatross, or an albatross sized emperor?

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 18 points 2 days ago

Albatross sized emperor, it would be madness to pick a fight with a large bird. Those things are vicious.

[-] Cyber@feddit.uk 13 points 2 days ago

Good answer. You receive +1 admin point 😁

Thanks for helping out keeping a normalised normality normal. 👍🏻

They can break a man's arm, you know

Barry. He has notoriously weak arms.

Congratulations!

How many flamingos are you? What’s your collective noun?

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago

At least 4 at any time and apparently the collective noun for flamingos is 'flamboyance'.

[-] Zip2@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

Hang on there, you’re not even a flock? Just at least four flamingos in a trench coat? I knew it.

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Congratulations. And may I just say I have always been your most ardent supporter.

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 11 points 2 days ago

Most important question for your future planning for the instance:

Would you rather stub your toe every day for a year, or get kicked in the chest once by a horse?

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 9 points 2 days ago

I'm a fairly clumsy person, so I basically already stub my toe everyday.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 8 points 2 days ago

Good answer! You've got my, entirely unnecessary, approval.

[-] darko8472@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago

Do you, as per a book my child has, turn a different colour if you eat food other than those coloured pink?

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

Can flamingoes be colours other than pink and white? If they consume a bunch of Jello or Kool Aid, can they turn blue or green?

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, it's why I keep a pack of pink wafers on my ~~person~~ bird at all times.

[-] florge@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago

Is there nothing flamingos can do?

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago

They can certainly do nothing.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

Excellent, I can reuse the vetting procedure. Please state what you call a bread roll and if anyone disagrees then you can't be in charge anymore.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago

I just looked up a map of bread roll names. I generally feel there are few wrong answers (perhaps because I've lived in different parts of the UK and had to change like a chameleon to.fit in), except "morning roll".

[-] addie@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

A 'morning roll' is kind of a different thing from your standard issue 'bread roll', though - bit more robust on the outside, which makes it better for containing hot food on the go. Kind of the opposite of a brioche, which is a waste of bread if I've ever seen it.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

"Morning roll" sounds like the work of replicants. Or possibly just toilet paper.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago

I also use three rolls of bog paper a day and find it helpful to have them categorised up by the part of the day they'll be used in.

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

You're the real reason Thames Water ran up all that debt!
It wasn't paying dividends using loans, it was unclogging 3-rolls Emperor!

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Been a while since I've disgraced the porcelain down south.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago

With a bowel that active I'm glad to have you administrating, if only to keep you off the streets

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 9 points 2 days ago

We Emperors do our best work from the throne.

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago

Baps, though I've heard those six-fingered savages across the river call them cobs
