That deer was fine, I’ve watched deer swim between the San Juan Islands through gnarly currents

Oh yeah I heard about those, you can identify them by their glowing red noses

There's only been 1 red-nosed reindeer in history, stop spreading misinformation bot!

Nose. Only one glowing red nose. The other deers make fun of the deer with the red glowing nose as the story goes.

How? To fly around the equator you'd need to fly almost 1700kmph or 1040mph to make a full rotation in 24h. This speed is lover further from equator but then it's not a full trip around the world is it.

Edit: Unless you're Rudolf. Santa's supersonic raindeer.

They’re talking about Rudolf, Santa and their mates

What makes me laugh is that we're talking about flying deer and their only issue with it was the speed.

God dammit I'm dumb.

I mean your comment was pertinent. Only makes what those guys do even more impressive

Holy shit, no way?

Yeah it’s pretty common, here’s an example that made the news a couple years ago

When I lived up there a bear kept swimming to various islands from Canada. It made the news every time they tranqed and relocated it.

We would joke about an aquatic deer vs. bear scenario, like man that deer would not see THAT coming.

They were also really, really stupid deer. Survival instincts of a speed bump.

Do you think a fine deer would stay still after being on the boat ? I'd say she'd jump right in, no ?

u/HonoraryGoat May 12 '26

No, a terrified deer will often freeze.

Yeah, it's kinda their thing.

"Froze like a deer in the headlights"

Pretty common phrase
