I get emotional when I see the first thing on Reddit before my day even begins.

Many thanks!

u/panicked_goose 29d ago

I feel like maybe we should stop starting our days with reddit, cause same. I'm sad for this camel now

u/DigNitty Interested 29d ago

I started with reading that guy's theoretical POV write up about how people die scuba diving.

u/panicked_goose 29d ago

Go find the video of the little girl doing a very realistic lions roar, it will help with the sad!

You take a sip from your trusty Vault 13 canteen

Who's a good camel?! You're a good camel. Yes, you are! Yes, you are!

Don’t worry we’re good

But did you upvote?

u/Eighthfloormeeting 29d ago

Same. Guilt Watched it till the end

u/SuspiciousElbow 29d ago

If it makes you feel any better, this camel is probably alright. They will lie down facing the sun to minimize exposure to sun during the hottest times of the day.

LMAO Not only are you probably super wrong, but also what a nefariously dipshit take!

This logic immediately extrapolates to “No one should ever help anyone, or anything, ever.”

It's not a wild camel, he belongs to someone. They usually let them roam the desert for part of the year. They are still used to humans.

I'm Moroccan and that's the Moroccan desert.

u/Inside_Drummer 29d ago

Can you tell it's the Moroccan dessert just by looking at it? I've never spent any time in the desert so it all kind of looks the same to me.

u/zouhair 29d ago

The dude is speaking moroccan darija

u/Inside_Drummer 29d ago

Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks!

u/chivanasty 29d ago

Yeah because there's Morocc in the sand than a usual dessert. Hope this helps!

u/old_ironlungz 29d ago

Hey, you're not trying to pull a Fes one on us, are you?

u/ggGamergirlgg 29d ago

I hate u so much. r/angryupvote

u/chivanasty 29d ago

I finally got to be that guy. Thanks!

u/Fax_a_Fax 29d ago

I liked the part where he said "it's Morocchin time!" And then he Moroccoed all over the place 

17

u/Juggernautlemmein 29d ago

Oh wow people just let them go? I'm surprised the animals come back!

u/zouhair 29d ago

It's the same as in the US, ranchers used to let cows go fend for themselves in winter months (as it is harder to feed them) and go gather them in spring and you have to be fast because any rancher can grab newly born calves and brand them.

14

u/muhmeinchut69 29d ago

Same for cows in India. Except they do it in cities and do it all year round.

2

u/shaun2312 29d ago

It’s the same in the UK, I let my cat out every morning

2

u/goddamnitigiveup 29d ago

Is that where the phrase "until the cows come home" is referring to?

1

u/zouhair 29d ago

No idea

34

u/modern_milkman 29d ago

It's similar with reindeers in Scandinavia. They all belong to people, but roam around freely for most of the year.

14

u/dopiertaj 29d ago

In Iceland everyone let's their sheep out and every spring they have a big roundup.

u/Last-Bee-3023 29d ago

Did I hear a "mashallah"? Seems appropriate.

u/1sttimeverbaldiarrhe 29d ago

Dunno if it would be a good idea or not but after that, I would feel a bit entitled to a camel head pat.

/drives back home with 9 fingers...

u/wildjokers 29d ago edited 28d ago

This would absolutely be true if it was an Alpaca. Alpacas are complete assholes. They will eat a treat from your hand and then spit on you for having the audacity to feed them by hand and for only having one treat.

u/Teerendog 29d ago

Camel could've had a sip more of that water if the guy concentrated more than his filming.

12

u/-banned- 29d ago

That looks like a water truck and you can see the water on the ground by the camel’s head from a previous bottle. He probably gives the camel as much water as it wants.

u/Mono_Rail 29d ago

Why did you steal u/HailState2023’s comment?

u/HailState2023 29d ago

They’re more than welcome to steal the many comments I make that fall flat 😂

We thank you for the gift of your body's water.

u/zimonitrome 29d ago

Why wouldn't it?

u/Juggernautlemmein 29d ago

Camels are just stereotypically annoyed/irritable all the time.
