I code, but I jest.

Mostly funny memes but occasionally astounding science advancements and technology that leans positive and funny. My alter ego is @ShITVoid (ShoutingIntoTheVoid) and he is a serious grump!

Australian Christmas tree

(photo by Layn Simpson of Gympie)

@ElleGray That's a tree full of trouble, right there.
@elfin no they are innocent and perfect lol

@ElleGray

And children this is how rainbow lorikeets are made, and you pick them when they are that beautiful colour

Hugz & xXx

@ElleGray

I can hear that photo.

These fuckers usually eat my pears right off the tree.
I wouldn't mind actually, but they only eat some of the fruit before starting on eating another

@ElleGray

One of the noisiest trees known to man. 😎

Thinking about cockatoos and cicadas. 😵‍💫

@Arapalla @ElleGray My ears were bleeding just looking at that photo.
@ElleGray that magpie in the lower left is plotting trouble
@draNgNon @ElleGray Australian magpies are ALWAYS plotting trouble.
@ElleGray Thank you,we all needed this happy comfort and joy🤗
@ElleGray That's not real. You can't convince me that's real.
@ColesStreetPothole @ElleGray The secret is birdseed and superglue.

@ColesStreetPothole @ElleGray they're rainbow lorikeets. Very common, seen in most cities (not even tropical).

Yeah, sorry for being that guy, but with so many deepfakes produced every minute, I need to check whether this picture was AI-prompted or actually taken for realsies
@ElleGray The magpie looking on is the best part
@ElleGray crikey... what day of Christmas is this for?

@ElleGray Wonderful. I just want to dive into that (and never return?).

My guess is that was taken at Currumbin in Queensland. They have a small park with lots of nectar feeding stations and an infinity of lories. They'll sit on your arms, shoulders, head, and walk all over you, just like on that tree. If you love them, like me, it's heaps of fun. 🦜 🥰

@ElleGray @Su_G I feel like it's 2001 and I just bought the best CRT monitor on the market. MILLIONS of colors. I'm going to a LAN party to show it off, but it's HEAVY.
@corbden @ElleGray
Ha ha 😂 Could catch the bus - if you’re in Brisbane a koala is driving it! 🐨
(Not really, the koala wS only a passenger, rescued from a busy road by a bus driver)
@ElleGray the Creator had a whole bunch of paints left over, shrugged and said "you know what, I'll just make some lorikeets" 🤷‍♂️🌈
@ElleGray confused magpie in the background

@ElleGray and all I got from my True Love on Christmas Day was one lousy partridge in a sad little pear tree

And I don't even like pears 

@ElleGray

Look how beautiful!

@ElleGray noisiest tree on Earth. There’s often a flock of them in the trees outside my gym & at daybreak it sounds like a riot going on.

Love lorikeets, they seem like party birds to me. Mind you, love magpies as well.
