I was going to reference Dwarf Fortress, but this covers that by sheer coincidence.

Those psyducks will just confuse themselves. Get yourself a Golduck instead.

We've been over this, it would technically be platypodes. Really, it's whatever you want.

You do realize that they are poisonous right?

[–]frenchfryguy 1 point2 points ago

Only the males are venomous.

This whole platypus mount thing is becoming a meme, isn't it?

A chariot that hydrofoils you may get away with.

Careful! that poison doesn't kill, but you'll be in agony for a whole week. I listen to "stuff you should know" podcast and i got intellegenter because of it.

[–]Ragnalypse 1 point2 points ago

Be warned, they can detect electrical signals. They have a sixth kung-fu sense if they ever betray you.

how come whenever i look up platypus's for sale theres always websites saying that normal people couldn't handle them as pets. Then of course theres a person with 2 platypus's and theyre gonna be slave animals >:(

I miss the good ol' days when people just linked pictures of cats and called it a day.

[–]itjustisntright 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So much cuter than cats. They almost look like a cross between a pug and a duck in the photo!

[–]itjustisntright 0 points1 point ago

Ok, maybe a Shar Pei.

2 platypuses 1 chariot. I can't wait for the reaction videos.

You better call it the Platypussy Wagon.

[–]Lampmonster1 1 point2 points ago

Little known fact. When one of the first stuffed platypus was shipped back to England, the scientist that received it laughed, showed it to a few friends and then stuck it in a box. He was positive it was a joke.

[–]Mark_Lincoln 1 point2 points ago

Just wait until they put their spurs into you.

[–]wumfi 0 points1 point ago

I feel like making a Phaedrus joke here but I don't think anyone would get it...

aren't they venomous or are these females?

Makes sure they go see the appropriate doctor each month.

Paint them green, give them both each their tiny hat, and name them Perry.

I upvoted this pciture at least 25 times in my one year of reddit :D

[–]kconnors 0 points1 point ago

Those have very venemous stingers in the hind feet and can cause serious damage. Maybe only one of the sexes have the stinger, but quite dangerous.

[–]whyisthisnamesolong 1 point2 points ago

Males have the spur. Females do not. The more you know!

[–]kconnors 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thanks for the clarification. So, I guess that I would be better getting a female duck billed plattypus if I ever wanted one for a pet.

[–]whyisthisnamesolong 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

IF you want one for a pet? Don't kid yourself. You know you want one.

[–]kconnors 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I am sure that I really do and just haven't come to terms with the idea.

[–]M0b1u5 -2 points-1 points ago

Mount = ride.

And given monotremes are not known for their pulling prowess, I get the feeling you an ignorant fool. And a reddit failure, also.
