Absolute Units

Things that you’re in awe at the size of.

Absolute Unit: an Animal, Public Figure or Object who is larger than one would normally expect.

Rules

Absolute units, not normal units. More detailed definitions here

No creepshots / fat shaming pics allowed. Mainly the subjects are animals, but big foods and objects, like statues, are also allowed. If you are submitting humans, only public figures are allowed, and not only to showcase that they are fat, they must be also large in stature; no harassment or creepshots; fat-shaming is strictly prohibited.

while mild NSFW stuff is allowed (as long as its put in it's own tag when posting), anything more than that (and borderline NSFL) is straight up banned. This includes stuff that is sexual in nature, gory, anything not very palpable for the eyes.

Don't forget to follow the rules in your server

That's incredible, what a catch, I dunno how I could sleep after landing that monster.

What a beautiful fish.

When spawning, salmon exhaust themselves to death. That's kinda what this looks like, a really tired salmon was floating there and summoned a burst of energy. They don't taste good at this time.

Isn't that only Pacific salmon? I thought Atlantic salmon could make the trip multiple times.

And some species of Pacific salmon can spawn multiple times, though it's pretty rare.

I think that's just a hobbit with a regular salmon.

How do salmon know how to return to where they originally spawned after swimming around in the ocean. Nature is fucking crazy

sometimes my brain gets a hint of caveman knowledge ingrained to my survival instincts that says "no. don't let animal go, don't let get away. Worked hard for that" and I think it's really wholesome
