    I saw this and thought it meant someone had improved on the perfect caption (right).

    Shouldn’t it say “(left)” after mentioning the penguin?

      I think it diminishes the joke by implying that everything gets (left) vs (right) rather than just that we need to know which creature is the human. It almost gets repeditive to me.

        Penguins think we’re penguins, so it makes sense.

    What is this, an alternative tumblr frontend? And for those who are Scraping the bottom of the barrel for meaning, I do agree that bleach enemas are a beneficial morning routine for all people and animals.

    But now science knows penguins are indifferent to bagpipe music, solving a centuries old theory.
