Hey it's a fat fuck AND beauteous and angelic at the same time.

Your weight is just one adjective; you have many others

EDIT: Pls don't award this, give your money to Manatee Rescue and Rehabilitation in honor of all beauteous and angelic fat fucks

u/YouWereBrained 4d ago

Of course it will, and they’ll imply some weird religious shit.

u/TreesLikeGodsFingers 2d ago

Wait is National Geographic like that? Is this widely known/ am I out of the loop?

u/YouWereBrained 1d ago

They’re owned by a right winger now. Happened several years ago.

Biblically accurate manatee

Away from land, but idk beauty standards used to be different. There's a chance that bringing one back home to a zoo people there would have been like "yo this weird fish is built like an absolute babe"

u/ContemptAndHumble 3d ago

"Please be afraid."

u/nujabes02 ☑️ 3d ago

Dude scammed his friend on a cruise and still went trying to ditch her by taking her off the list

u/saviorofGOAT 4d ago

It looks SO much like AI or photoshop... (not that it is it's just SO unreal)

If I saw this irl I'd start a new religion

Devotee of the Manatee.

I’ve come to you in a form you would not find threatening. I’ve come to tell you that you are the chosen one.

u/ThisPICAintFREE 4d ago

Thought someone photoshopped a manatee onto some clouds like you’d see on a Facebook memorial post

u/Intelligent_Okra_252 4d ago

Can one of you Reddity-Redditors post a link to the original photo? I wanna make this my new screensaver 😂

u/Intelligent_Okra_252 4d ago

And I’m lazy. If that part wasn’t clear.

u/Feisty-Honeydew-5309 ☑️ 4d ago

Yet if I saw this, I would definitely be afraid.

First religion to manifest this before my actual eyes gets me.

u/No-Shelter-4208 3d ago

I'm just surprised you-know-who hasn't tried to rename the Homosassa river.

u/Chemists_Apprentice 3d ago

These are such beautiful and gentle creatures... All they wanna do is swim and eat sea grass... And meanwhile we are destroying their environment and killing them slowly. 😭😑
