    I’m not trying to be a dick here, just confused. But is this post indicating that you’re old enough and smart enough to know how to use the fediverse but didn’t know that turtles turtle?

    Also, like tisktisk@piefed.social indicated, I get results for anything but the animal when I search “turtle mode”. Graphics, EV modes, and even flipping a quadcopter drone, but nothing about neck mechanics in a shelled amphibian.

      What I was trying to communicate was that Wikipedia has plenty of photographs that illustrate various concepts. This is a photo that displays typical turtle behaviour, which I didn’t think I implied that I was unaware of and I don’t know how you came to that conclusion. Anyway, it’s the sort of photo you wouldn’t need to include in an article but it clearly is suitable for the purpose.

      I did post this picture and all of the rambling while drunk and I’m having a bit of a mild anxiety breakdown right now and I just don’t know what I was saying. I’m terribly ashamed of posting this if this caused anyone any confusion.

        I’m not trying to give you anxiety, mate. Drunk posting provides adequate context.
        “Turtles have this thing called Turtle Mode” just gave me pause about your experiencing the existence of turtles.
        Couple that with the weird search engine results and no mention of “turtle mode” even in the informative links you provided and I was just a little confused.

        I see now this is a c/aww post; you got nothing to be ashamed of or anxious about.
