Like everyone else said, you can absolutely ride an ostrich. I did it in South Africa. We were supposed to have an ostrich egg for breakfast while on my safari, but it never materialized. I think it could feed like a dozen people. Super high in cholesterol though. Ostriches are strong as gently caress. I weigh over 150 pounds.

Reminds me of a video from a while back (that I can't for the life of me find again) about corporate training, new guy is made to take one of the multiple-choice quizzes with blatantly obvious options like "stay sober, be nice to colleagues, etc." and instead picks all of the absurd ones like "get drunk on a worknight, hit on your colleagues, antagonize the cops" while everyone else in the office is looking over his shoulder, completely stunned.

The annually required DOD cybersecurity training used to be structured with a "blue team" and a "red team" score, where correct answers would get points for blue and wrong answers would get points for red. The thing is, you'd still get your completion certificate at the end no matter what your score was, so I would try to max out the red score by answering like a cross between Robert Hanssen and a chimpanzee on meth. Strange email with a .exe attachment? Better run it to see if it's dangerous before I forward it on to everyone. Janet asks if I want to grab lunch? Call security and pull the fire alarm.

They've since changed it so you have to answer correctly in order to progress. :(

There were absolutely zero casualties!

https://m.gmw.cn/2023-11/14/content_1303570257.htm

"After investigation, the tanker in the video was a vehicle of a hazardous chemicals transportation company in Wuji County. The transported cargo was "water purifier" (ferric chloride, a corrosive substance), and it was loaded with 30 tons. At around 7 a.m., the vehicle was traveling from south to north to a location 500 meters southbound from the Gaocheng East Expressway exit. Smoke-like gas leaked from the valve on the top of the vehicle. When the escort came forward to check the cause, the valve was opened and columnar gas was sprayed out. No casualties were caused."

There's no way in hell that had anything to do with ferric chloride. The escaping gas was NO2 without any doubt. The official statement is nonsense and likely a cover story.

More likely is that it was transporting liquified N2O4 for a defense-related project and they don't want to reveal any actual information about what it was doing.
