Sleeping bat
(lemmy.world)
Who would be mad about a bat sleeping on a doorframe
The Joker
The joker was just a misunderstood, mentally ill, untreated dude, change my mind.
Harley, we've talked about this, you know full well he's a classic abuser
I can fix him!
Was that from HBO?
That qualifies for an extra big tip from me.
Seems rather a strange roosting spot ?
When I see stuff like this, I'm always skeptical that they are healthy, usually something is wrong for them to roost outside of cover like this and in a high traffic area.
They were out late adventuring and didn’t make it home before bedtime, and you won’t convince me otherwise!
he's waiting for someone to use the door, at which point he will drop to deliver his rabies payload, and you won't convince me otherwise, bats mean business, rabies is up there with like sinkholes and someone crashing a giant truck into my wall while i'm sleeping
I get the reality of the situation - avoid the known popular disease vector. But why ya gotta rain on my cuddly fuzzy animal parade?!
you chose to speak at the town meeting, i'm sorry, this ain't personal, just bat business, and i'll be taking out all the jokers tonight -_-
do you like italian?

Bats are cool
Bats are the only true flying mammals. There are over 1,400 species of bats, and they can be found on nearly every part of the planet. Not only are they cute, they are also important...
Studying how bats use echolocation has helped scientists develop navigational aids for the blind. Without bats’ pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control we wouldn’t have bananas, avocados, mangoes, agave, or cacao… that’s right, bats bring us tequila and chocolate!
