  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

mating season? did I miss the memo?

It’s a joke about animals that try to attract the opposite sex by being loud and obnoxious (like a peacock) to try to lure a partner in during their mating season. It’s a biological trait in most species.

Thank you for explaining. 🙏

Humans have mating season too, it's from January till December.

Or March till October if you live at a really high latitude and it gets so dark and depressing in the winter months that you just stay inside.
