Photoshop is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Though picture manipulation has endless possibility, some masters choose to use their abilities for highly specific reasons. In the case of one strange yet hilarious subreddit, the mission is focused on adding human arms to birds.
Meet /r/birdswitharms, the wonderfully quirky subreddit often deemed "most bizarre" or "oddest" place on Reddit.
Let's take a look at some of the best re-imaginings of fowl anatomy.
Internet users began specifically adding human arms to bird photos back in 2008.
The first known thread came from Reeelapse, where a user simple prompted his comrades to "post pictures of birds with arms." User Black Jaques was responsible for this angry looking fella with muscular arms.
The trend quickly was moved into Tumblr, where dedicated "Birds with Arms" blogs cropped up in 2009. Most of the new pages aggregated from the original Reeelapse thread.
As you can tell, the earlier posts were rather low-quality images, with disjointed arms attached.
As the meme grew in popularity, the level of craftsmanship also increased. Creators began paying attention to the coloring of the birds, and seamlessly blending the arms with feathers.
This Hulk bird has impressively matched shades of green.
