This is a strange way to discover that kangaroos can balance on their tails.

Not many people get close to kangaroos. I've had the privilege to hang out with a bunch of friendly ones and they keep their back legs parallel to each other, acting as one leg and the tail acts as the other while they walk around. Bouncing is obviously different.

They're all friendly til they had a few victoria bitters, then they turn into dicks

Not many people get close to kangaroos, sure, but there are heaps of kangaroo videos out there in the year of our lord 2025.

So they can be friendly? Like, to me that is something not to be approached, and to be solidly wary of. Like... how do they interact with a person? Ik thats a broad question. If I thought it wouldnt hurt me I'd love to pet one but like.....o.o

Turns out it's possible to know things about animals that you don't have any personal contact with, kinda how tons of people that have never been close to an elephant know they use their trunks as hoses

Pick anything. There are people who don't know it. Ignorance is infinite.

……this makes me want to create something similar to the Improbability Drive in the Hitchhikers Guide, except fueled with Ignorance rather than Improbabilities.

Which infinity drive would be more efficient, I wonder, improbabilities or ignorance?
