the only kind of correct

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 44 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Fly, ant, owl, cat, dog, cow... I don’t understand the point of the initial tweet?

[–] mrnobody@reddthat.com 34 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

3 separate letters, some just repeat, so the commenter is technically right since the question didn't specify only 3 letters.

Deer also works

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 28 points 3 days ago (3 children)

No, I get the reply. It’s the initial tweet (what animal has only three letters in it) that I don’t get the point of.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Engagement bait. It's to farm karma for bot accounts usually.

[–] toddestan@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Hence the reason it's almost certainly fake. Even a 5 year-old could easily rattle off several animals with three letters in them without much thought.

Now if it was something like what animals has only two letters in it, that's something most people would actually have to think about.

spoilerMy answer: Ox

[–] Redjard@reddthat.com 1 points 2 days ago

Only one besides Ox I can think of is K9.

[–] Redjard@reddthat.com 1 points 2 days ago

With the repeated letter rule, tit or ass would also work.

I was actually aiming for "auk" but it was late and my linux brain took over.

An excellent observation no wonder they called you awk eyes in boot camp.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Eel, ray, rat, bat… is this engagement bait for people who think they’re smart the way that AI slop with veterans with no limbs and ‘NOBODY WILL TELL HIM HAPPY BIRTHDAY 😢’ is engagement bait for the moderately senile?

Or maybe just fake, who knows.

This is the old times fun you had in road trips before you became a soulless shiny glass zombie. That and globbering your younger brother when he foolishly replies "yes" to "would you like an hawaiian punch?"

only correct answer

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Sure, agreed, but why say that in reply to this post? I feel like either there's a link here I'm not seeing or this is just spam.

EDIT: Got an explanation linking the post to reddit. I missed the bar at the very bottom showing reddit stuff.

[–] Cactopuses@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Image source is Reddit (branded on the bottom)

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ahh got it, I missed that, thank you!

Most animals are full of microplastics these days, but I'm thinking that almost none have any number of letters in them. (Unless maybe cow magnets have a model number stamped on them?)

i knew a goat that liked to chase the mailman. i'm sure she had a few letters in her

I'll allow it.

Alligator! ^bruh^

[–] howsetheraven@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Yes because it didn't say 3 unique/different letters. They don't lose their value as letters just because they repeat. It's still 5 letters.
