Just found out there's a group on Inaturalist, "Observational Comedy" dedicated to showing only the silliest observations

A screenshot of inaturalist, a citizen science app with text describing the common and scientific name of the observation. The image features a newt with an orange belly poking its head out of the water, mouth open and with a splayed pose that makes it look like its humorously gasping for air.

Outside

A two panel comic. The top panel depicts an adult June beetle talking to their child, a grub. They are both in a dimly lit living room, with the grub in front of a TV depicting a video game taking place in a lush, green meadow. Adult beetle's dialogue: Ugh kids these days! When I was their age I'd climb trees! And ride my bike... outside!

Second panel, captioned "Meanwhile, outside..." Depicting a wide, hazy stroad (street-road). Cars are backed up at a stoplight and tall signs and billboards for vaguely fictional fast food and convenience stores can be seen. It looks like a desolate, unpleasant place.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration.

POV when your man is handsome

A two panel comic. First panel shows a cartoony mouse woman gazing up lovingly at a rat man. Dialogue "aw honey you're so handsome"

Second panel shows the rat from her perspective, rendered realistically with emphasis on his huge rat nose. Dialogue "thanks."

I found a barely moving click beetle ready for death after being trapped in my house for who knows how long, but life hack: if you give dehydrated bugs some water you can watch them drink it and then get better

every time you think they can't sink any deeper they go "hold my vodka" it's a shame.
