minus-square@Xanis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink28•edit-27 days agoThere are lots of great answers here so I want to post something entirely silly and much much more recent: About 8-9 years ago someone on Reddit transcribed and revised the entirety of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven to instead be about an Emu. For the life of me I have never been able to find it again.
minus-square@tamal3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•7 days agoUpvoted bc i want someone to find and share it.
minus-square@Xanis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•6 days agoGood luck. It wasn’t a post, it was a top level comment and I have a dim memory of it only being slightly related to the post topic.
minus-square@TehBamski@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilink12•7 days agoOh great. First, the Emus won a war against Australia, greatly boosting their egos. And later on, they started censoring their mention online. In other news… there seems to be a bird in my backyard that keeps taping on my backdoor window.
