How the hell does it look so natural? What sorcery is this?

[–]I_COLORED_IT_FOR_YOU 2 points3 points ago

I aim for the picture to be indistinguishable from an real color picture. I take it my work here is done. ;)

[–]AppleSky 1 point2 points ago

I like you, keep it up!

[–]Bitter_Idealist 92 points93 points ago

I'm 45. I would do that if I got to sit next to a penguin.

[–]pavankpbhat 17 points18 points ago

Roger that

[–]artydecor 11 points12 points ago

But would you sit next to a penguin that was almost as big as you?

[–]Bitter_Idealist 18 points19 points ago

Oh hell yeah.

[–]osap21 4 points5 points ago

I wanna be that close to a penguin :( even a socially awkward one will do.

[–]TerryArchi 1 point2 points ago

probably the penguin to. They tend to be awkward

[–]thatguy1056 35 points36 points ago

hes telling her about the plane ride he just had

[–]Donkenoji 16 points17 points ago

The one where he got on the wrong plane.... but looked for seats anyways?

[–]DoctorQualified 13 points14 points ago

That's right. Not the one with the baby cheetah on it.

[–]ledzep4life 11 points12 points ago

Wow, I got all those references. I need to get some sleep.

My brother is 35 years old. He has done 2 tours in Afghanistan and works for a high-profile branch of the government. During an office meeting, his boss asked the group how they could improve efficiency. My brother responds in a serious tone that the office requires "10 Emperor penguins on morale duty with each employee rationed penguin treats."

Edit - my brother, probably the toughest man I know, gets giddy when you show him a picture of a penguin.

[–]Redplushie 5 points6 points ago

I think I love your brother..

[–]graffiti81 0 points1 point ago

Your brother is clearly a genius and a true American hero. I would vote for him for president.

[–]UnicornDogs 10 points11 points ago

Aw. her face is priceless :)

[–]sunghan 6 points7 points ago

I've seen children go from this to sheer terror in a matter of seconds.

[–]conkledonkle 14 points15 points ago

[–]whackadoo47 6 points7 points ago

That girl is squealing because she is thinking about how hard she is about to hug that penguin

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Everyday is penguin day.

[–]Mullinator 1 point2 points ago

You could make an adorable kids show or movie out of these two characters.

[–]af609 1 point2 points ago

What country is this in? tell me NZ please

[–]cgycnd 1 point2 points ago

I am 28 years old and had a corporate retreat at our local zoo that has conference facilities. At the end of the day we went to see the new penguin exhibit. It was awesome. They are so fast, so interesting to watch and pretty cute.

[–]JonahD 1 point2 points ago

That would be my exact reaction! <3 Penguins

The little reposter and his r/aww repost

http://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/lenqi/the_most_adorable_thing_ive_seen_in_a_while/

http://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/jfcvg/penguin_you_so_silly/

http://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/nrwb4/oh_meester_pingwin_youre_so_funny/

http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/kk1rj/tehe/

I'm genuinely curious people: is the planet running out of cute kittens and puppies so that half the daily r/aww submissions have to be the same shit that comes up here every damn week?

[–]crank1000 3 points4 points ago

While I genuinely agree with your sentiment, I could see this picture 1000 times and still smile when I see that girls face. But the rest of the reposts can fuck off.

[–]Yadizinha 3 points4 points ago

From your links, the most recent post of this was from 2 months ago. A lot of Redditors werent even here two months ago, me being one of them. So this is my first time seeing it.

It's amazing how upset people get over fucking "reposts." It's not that serious. Many people have said it before, but apparently it needs to be said again: If it made it to the front page, that means either people haven't seen it before, or they don't mind seeing it again. Why be such a whiner about it? Ignore it or downvote it and move on.

[–]rhoswhen 1 point2 points ago

If you must know, good sir, I posted the picture 2 months ago, like Yadizinha mentioned. I had never seen it on Reddit before, and one day while going through some photos saved on my computer I thought, "Let's share the love! I'll post it to Reddit."

My most humblest apologies for posting it and offending you, good sir, and all the Redditors I have truly inconvenienced. I hope you can find it in your heart of hearts to forgive me.

Cute but is that safe? do Penguins try to peck?

Fascinating. Let's keep upvoting this incredible photo.

He's probably secretly planning to attack her.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Those are the greatest faces in the world.

OP, you're a dick. Wait 48 hours before reposting if you don't mind.

[–]Frightened_Inmate_1 0 points1 point ago

This is so old that the girl grew up, had kids, her kids had kids, and she is now dead after living a long and fruitful life.

[–]joshblaz 0 points1 point ago

That penguin? That's a redditor. The little girl? No, that actually is a little girl.

Laughing at a joke made by a penguin? What a slut, penguins can't even speak.

Holy crap, that kid is like my (much younger) clone. I badly want to ask what year this picture was taken.
