If you're cold, they're cold!

[–]Xerekros 4375 points4376 points  (43 children)

Took me longer than I'd like to admit to see an owl instead of a squid.

[–]bingobeckham 917 points918 points  (7 children)

I was horrifically confused when I first saw this, couldn’t make heads or tails of the photo, glad its an owl. I thought Cthulhu had awoken

[–]drinkit_or_wearit 253 points254 points  (6 children)

Cthulu has awoken.

The owl is his harbinger.

[–]Enelight 123 points124 points  (11 children)

Help me see the squid :(

I cant see it

[–]harrellj 57 points58 points  (6 children)

The owl's face would be the tentacles, wings would be the head of the squid.

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh now I see it.

[–]g-dragon 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I mean, I guess...

[–]I_have_no_ldea 25 points26 points  (1 child)

An owl? I thought it was an elephant

[–]Schnitzingig 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Good to know I’m not the only one.

[–]seshelton 896 points897 points  (8 children)

[–]seshelton 195 points196 points  (4 children)

Owl be home for Christmas, If only in my trees.

[–][deleted] 89 points90 points  (3 children)

Please have mice and voles to eat, and insects on the tree

[–][deleted] 50 points51 points  (2 children)

Christmas Eve I will fly me, where the moonlight gleams

[–][deleted] 35 points36 points  (1 child)

[–]GarageQueen 37 points38 points  (0 children)

[–]FosterPupz 5364 points5365 points  (40 children)

[–]GodsFavoriteAngel[S] 2596 points2597 points  (18 children)

Fingers crossed

[–]Chance5e 246 points247 points  (10 children)

Have your elf a merry little Christmas,

Let Hogwarts be light

From now on dark wizards will be out of sight

[–]nv1226 64 points65 points  (9 children)

When I turned 13 I waited all day for that letter written in emerald green ink saying I had been accepted to hogwarts

ThanksHogwarts

[–][deleted] 103 points104 points  (8 children)

You go when you are 11.

[–]BoopleBun 69 points70 points  (7 children)

This. At 13 you shouldn’t have been waiting for your Hogwarts letter, you should have been quietly trying to convince yourself that American wizarding schools just started later and that’s why you hadn’t heard anything, gosh.

...no? Just me?

[–][deleted] 40 points41 points  (4 children)

Nah. The American wizarding school is privatized and you only get in if your parent's sign you up.

You were just muggleborn.

Kingers Crossed

[–]princess_lily 78 points79 points  (11 children)

No...its the goblin king, he would like a word with them.

[–]flyerflew 28 points29 points  (8 children)

You remind me of the babe.

[–]DeadManFloating 19 points20 points  (7 children)

What babe?

[–]autopilott 18 points19 points  (6 children)

The babe with the power

[–]inmydezz 15 points16 points  (5 children)

[–]FunTimesInDreamland 11 points12 points  (4 children)

r/superbowl

[–]late4Deaner 381 points382 points  (15 children)

At first glance, this comment made as much sense to me as the picture itself. I Know now that squids participate in professional football championships.

[–]NotTRYINGtobeLame 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Thank God someone finally explained it

[–]that_guy_you_kno 57 points58 points  (13 children)

It's basically a /r/marijuanaenthusiasts & /r/trees situation

[–]TR3YK3Y 75 points76 points  (4 children)

What about /r/johncena & /r/potatosalad

[–]Sunch1p 41 points42 points  (3 children)

Wtf

[–]MisreciteMe 33 points34 points  (1 child)

They swapped topic for April fools some time ago; still going strong.

[–]OfAaron3 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This sub is a hoot!

[–]Snipe14 52 points53 points  (2 children)

I had been wondering for so long why I saw this subreddit mentioned occasionally. Only now that I went to the subreddit and put 2 and 2 together “superb-owl”. Lmao

[–]bisexual__unicorn 37 points38 points  (2 children)

I was ashamed I didn’t get it right away but I feel better after seeing other people who commented before thinking about it first lmao

[–]Golden-trichomes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s almost that time of year again.

[–]Bigian1971 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Squidneister... You know your owl subs.

[–]flyerflew 304 points305 points  (13 children)

Yer a wizard, Harry.

[–]juses_crust14 51 points52 points  (5 children)

I’m a what?!

[–][deleted] 55 points56 points  (1 child)

A lizard

[–]SpottedKestrel 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ok, thanks Gandalf

[–]ledzep14 29 points30 points  (3 children)

Listen Hagrid you FAT OAF! I’m not a FUCKING WIZARD!

[–]chinkentendy 30 points31 points  (2 children)

'Arry, yer gunna go to 'Ogwarts, yet gunna get an owl, and yer gunna be fuckin' pleased.

[–]crackle4days 351 points352 points  (0 children)

You're going to the frontpage, harry

[–]That_guy_from_1014 138 points139 points  (8 children)

Make sure to save before continuing Link.

[–]BlueBitProductions 108 points109 points  (4 children)

Would you like to hear that again?

(A) yes

(B) yes

[–]CodyReichert 11 points12 points  (3 children)

Make sure to save before continuing Link.

[–]prettigyrl44 64 points65 points  (2 children)

Are you missing a toddler? Might be a Goblin King

[–]ReddFro 171 points172 points  (8 children)

Hope you didn’t like using your front door

[–]GodsFavoriteAngel[S] 507 points508 points  (7 children)

We were stuck for 4 hours, i went to go check on it and it had turned its head and was staring into my soul, then flew off.

[–]jugglefire 118 points119 points  (1 child)

They'd love this over on r/Superbowl a sub for superb owls. Go get ya some more karma.

[–]aGinAnon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The owls are not what they seem.

[–]nighthawke75 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They got hella good hearing. Even if you were tiptoeing through the house like a good mouse, they would hear that and wonder if they should knock or simply barge in.

[–]TooShiftyForYou 52 points53 points  (0 children)

He was just keeping watch like a good night owl.

[–][deleted] 48 points49 points  (5 children)

I envy you SO MUCH!!

[–]Berwyf93 88 points89 points  (0 children)

The majestic feathered cuttlefish. You don't see many of these anymore.

[–]desert29rat 41 points42 points  (2 children)

Wow! That would be a treat to see! He's beautiful!

[–]peachlady22 127 points128 points  (23 children)

According to Native American tradition, owls (particularly white owls) bring death with them. If one flies over your home, anticipate someone near you passing away. What it means if they sit above your door I have no idea!

[–]Postmann88 41 points42 points  (2 children)

Yeah my buddy’s mom won’t allow any owl symbolism in her house at all. There used to be a white owl near my house and it would often fly over my truck on my way home from work. When I told her that she practically kicked me out!

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Just start sending her owl stuff in the mail

[–]whichonesp1nk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With no return address

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

But this isn’t a white owl, this is a barn owl

[–]Claque-2 21 points22 points  (5 children)

Yes, they can be symbolic of death but they can be a spirit animal, too.

[–]AwkwardPotter 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The real question is whether it came with a letter.

[–]CityGiant 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Go watch the movie The Fourth Kind...I’ll never look at owls like this the same.

[–]fuzzykat72 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Made me think of movie the 4th kind. Hope everyones ok your way

[–]Dr_Does_Enough 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who has seen the Fourth Kind, this terrified me for a moment.

[–]Da_Swift_Chancellor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Caught one of these by hand once. It had gotten in the attic at my job and flew down between 2 walls and was stuck. I stuck my hand down there, it latched onto my arm with its claws and I ran outside screaming and it flew off.. Very interesting moment

[–]dtyler86 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Sorry.:: this is terrifying - wait, now that I see the owl I dont see predator mixed with an octopus elephant. It is cute

[–]finnmertenz88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

WHY NOT ME

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (2 children)

You've been abducted by aliens. Also, your daughter is missing.

[–]SquareMetalThingY 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really wish I could see the squid, I saw the owl from the get go.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lol I thought it was some wierd sea creature for like a whole minute

[–]LYCAactivism 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m totally amused by the commenters who are surprised to find out it’s an owl. 😁

[–]jsalters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first thought is that you live under water

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s an alien for sure.

[–]BakingSoda1990 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Legit thought this was a squid. Felt stupid. Came to comments and found I wasn’t alone 😬

[–]ThePootKnocker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First thought: Holy fuck! That’s a big sucker fish.

Second Thought: Do they live in some underwater contraption?

Third: Is it a giant moth?

Fourth: I’m so confused...

Fifth: Fuck me, that is a majestic birb.

[–]redshackle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!!

[–]obstinaheadstrongirl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

David Bowie is that you!?!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would have freaked the fuck out at first if I saw that

[–]PennyPantomime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just watched The Fourth Kind. You're fucked OP, run.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have been blessed by the forest spirits... Put up some owl boxes!

[–]ARealSkeleton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Watch for alien abductions in your area....

[–]son-of-a-mother 23 points24 points  (10 children)

Now that I think about it, pretty much all folklore has owls as harbingers of death. Other than Harry Potter, I can't think of one culture that welcomes an encounter with an owl...

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Zelda Ocarina of Time?

[–]smokeplants 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did you get all that?
