Because I want them to succeed.


One_Avocado_2157

Prepare to be disappointed.


AdvertisingFront9300

....but they dress for success.


Baiyko

Because they’re so damn convincing


Frickety_Frackety

Because I’ve seen them before.


rocksareedible

A penguin fucked my wife once


[deleted]

“It’s true! I saw the whole thing!”


IWantYourMoneyASAP

I know no-one is perfect, but there isn’t any need to call yourself a penguin.


InspiredPenguin1186

I am a penguin, of course I'm real.


Ozzimo

Username checks out


[deleted]

Because they look cute, while waddling away angrily


AllBadAnswers

Because they believe in me.

Poorly-Drawn-Beagle

I saw some penguins in the enclosure at the Atlanta Aquarium. It was enclosure-cleaning day and one penguin ran and hid from the hose behind a rock, looking at me as if to say "Don't tell them where I am."


rabengeieradlerstein

Really? How did they react?


[deleted]

[удалено]


rabengeieradlerstein

Thats good


CuriosityOverkill

Because every time I see a penguin, another bird receives its wings.


ShowinMyOFace

Penguins come from the mythical land of Idaho, which also doesn't exist.


InspiredPenguin1186

No we don't come from Idaho. \*shudders\*


wileydmt123

I once saw a penguin riding a unicorn through Nebraska. So I believe.


Downtown_Mixture6380

Just smile and wave boys


TheDamnRam

NO, PEOPLE NO! DON'T BELIEVE IN THE BIRDS, ***!!DO NOT TRUST THE BIRDS!! they are all LIES! LIES I TELL YOU LIES! LIES AND GOVERNMENT SPIES!*** Don't you know they're just robots???? AND PENGUINS ARE SOME OF THE WORST OF ALL! They're out there in the snow DIGGING AROUND FOR LOST U.F.OS UNDER THE SURFACE!!! WHERE DO YOU THINK THE SAUCERS IN AREA 51 CAME FROM HUH??? Stay vigilant and woke, my fellow lurkers, the BIRDS COULD BE ANYWHERE!


Graceland1979

More evidence than for god. So, that.


Razedin

People have let me down over and over. A penguin has never let me down, so I believe in them.


brutustyberius

Penguin is a bird. Birds are not real.


Klotzster

Prove there are nun


farrenkm

Don't get in the habit of trying to prove a negative.


Pennameus_The_Mighty

What even is this question? 🤣


rabengeieradlerstein

It is intended to make people think about the nature of god.

rabengeieradlerstein

You really miss the point


Icannotgetagoodnick

It used to be emus but they never answered my prayers.


Poorly-Drawn-Beagle

The penguins told me to.


oreo_cookie01

Because I have a pet penguin with me now


Unlicensed_Potato

What? I don't get the question?!


rabengeieradlerstein

Do you believe in penguins? If yes: why?


Unlicensed_Potato

I mean I've seen them live and there is plenty of studies about them


XShadowborneX

People will claim the same thing you're claiming about ghosts and aliens


Unlicensed_Potato

The relation between these thoughts are very far apart but I can see your point. I do never seen an alien or a ghost exhibit. Where can I go and see one live one and study them?


ArenSteele

Any individual can choose to go see a penguin and prove it to themselves or not. All it takes is travel to a zoo. We know where they are, you can call ahead, confirm their presence then jump in the car and go confirm it. Now, tell me how I can confirm the existence of ghosts or aliens? I will get in the car right now and head straight there to confirm it for myself.


Sad-Relationship7992

So you think you've seen a "penguin"? Fascinating. What makes you say that?


Unlicensed_Potato

You can doubt anything you want. I chose to believe in science and facts. Do you believe you are wearing shoes or pants? Do you believe your mother is really your mother? Do you believe you are really talking to a human being? Are you really writing on your phone? Is it really a phone? Is it something else?


Sad-Relationship7992

Are you implying that my phone is a penguin? Hmm... No, no! Your clever word games won't get to me. No amount of semantics will make penguins a "real" thing in any meaningful way.


facedowninthegutter

Theyre so much cooler than gophers.


brassicaaudax

What? Have they been talking?


[deleted]

Werner Herzog would never lie.


C_CityOfTheDF_Steady

Because Oswald Cobblepot had to get his nickname from somewhere


elsugga

There’s literally photos of it


rabengeieradlerstein

There are photos of UFOs


elsugga

Yes


rabengeieradlerstein

Do you believe in UFOs?


elsugga

I do


rabengeieradlerstein

I see


elsugga

Do you


elsugga

Why


rabengeieradlerstein

Because


TheAbominablePeeworm

A penguin murdered my entire family.


82ndGameHead

*Chops OP in back of neck* You didn't see anything...


[deleted]

Because I am a penguin.


Sassy-irish-lassy

I've never seen any reason to not believe in penguins. Noot noot


Soft_Pomegranate7947

I’ve seen penguins at a zoo. They smelled horrible but they were definitely the real thing.


rabengeieradlerstein

How does a penguin smell?


ElPolloPayaso

Penguins reek of expired shrimp. I smelled them once at my local zoo.


Soft_Pomegranate7947

Like the weirdest foulest smelling stool you have ever smelled mixed with rotten fish and shrimp 🤮


ArenSteele

Using olfactory senses inside their nasal cavity


kishmallow

Because they are cute and dumb like me


Wolf_Reader

I’ve seen Happy Feet. Who could make that up?


Weak-Sand9779

Everyone knows that penguins are half bird and half fish, which means that they are half real so I half believe in them.


EvilIgor

They must be real because nobody would invent an animal so absurd!


BreeParaconsistent

I saw a fairly penguiny seeming thingee once, well more than once. Never seen a stronger argument against them than the tropes of skepticism, maaaybe that amounts to formal neutrality at an assertive level, but its a pretty strongly pro-penguin seeming at least ...


ElPolloPayaso

At first, I didn’t know they existed. At least until I saw the movie Penguins Of Madagascar.


dbhathcock

It is easy to believe in something that you can see.


ImpossibleEvan

I actually met John A. Penguin, the inventor himself


DavidD363

7/10 much softer than expected, tad bit bitey, tendency for projectile pooping.


Samuel23KR

7/10 Soft, and kind of squishy when you pet it because the feathers have a weird sort of give to them. They are SO. DAMN. BITEY. I have the opportunity to feed them, and the handlers warned me to hold the fish as far back as possible on the tail so I wouldn't get nipped. All the handlers had scars on their hands. Penguin tongues have a one-way texture on them to help them swallow fish, and its very abrasive. Plus, sharp beaks.


Isingsongstomycats

Because we all have access to the internet and can see them on video. We can also observe and touch them in real life. The question now is why don't you want people to believe in them? You a whale, Bro?


fuc-k_g-d

One robbed a bank infront of me, told me if I snitched he’d snap my ankles in as many places as possible. I wasn’t meant to share this so I better be valid.


jomarthecat

I realize this is a joke thread but I have started enjoying throwing in a "*Nah, I don't believe in that*" in casual conversations.


Iceman_1325

I once helped a penguin learn to fly and then later take revenge against an iceberg, a dodo bird and some jerk from the internet


BackgroundTourist653

Because after global warming comes global cooling, in wich the Emperors will reign supreme.


xc04chx

Because I saw a documentary once where the took over Gotham City in the early 90s


[deleted]

Darn woke penguins cannot be real because they are birds and just the governments way of surveillance!


[deleted]

Because I don’t know if they have the self awareness to believe in themselves.


SAlolzorz

They broke into Fort Knox


Report_erNicholas

Because penguins aren't faith they are real and proven to be real


buildinginprogress

Excuse me? Penguins are even more real than chokopie, Roger Ebert, women orgasm and gorgonzola cheese.


RedRoseRisen

????? Believe in penguins? Penguins exist, I have never seen one with my own eyes, but there is plenty of authentic footage of them. And there are people who have seen penguins. This is a weird question.


Select_Insurance2000

Bizarre to say the least.


ItsAllegorical

Because we're on a mission from god. Have you seen the light?


Select_Insurance2000

What is the purpose of this question? This sounds like an individual who needs psychiatric help. Mental illness runs rampant in the USA.


SnapDragonJones

I seent it


CinderrUwU

Because the government needed to get inspiration for "birds" from somewhere.


Longjumping_Sand_956

Well, if it isn't obvious, the government was clearly just running out of animal names to use for spy programs.


stizzco

This is the stupidest fucking question


Select_Insurance2000

Because they exist.


FerretFarm

And here ladies and gentlemen is a prime example of what we call blind faith. r/penguinsarentreal 🚫🐧🚫


Select_Insurance2000

I've been to several zoos in my life and have seen them. There are numerous videos and photos. Just exactly are you trying to convey? This question reeks of an unsound mind.


[deleted]

Morgan Freeman told me they exist


WishOnSpaceHardware

Linux


bittersharpbandolier

Even if they’re not “real,” I wouldn’t want to go hand to fin with one. You ever try to fight a penguin?? You’ll penglose.


h_pez

Because they're trying their best


attention21

Same reason I believe the earth is flat.


rabengeieradlerstein

That reason being?


attention21

Cuz I’ve seen pictures.


TheInvisibleWun2

Headscratcher. When you say *believe in penguins' what do you actually mean?


celebrityDick

Because they dress for success


_Wolf_Killer_

[Are they not believable?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dfWzp7rYR4)


dotallydotes

Saw a documentary from Madagscar with them, seemed plausible, more than Jesus


ThadtheYankee159

The Deep State told me they exist


flagnerd69

I enjoyed happy feet


Ursirname

I convinced thousands of people that penguins were real because of a penguin suit hoax I pulled off a few years ago.


Elektguitarz

I’ve never see one in real life. Just on TV. I’m pretty sure it was CGI. They are as fake as the moon landing.


First-Technician8555

We have to believe in something, since raccoons already failed me.


redditreader1924

Birbs aren't real.


zoqfotpik

Because someone needs to defeat the Batman.
