Birds may be known for their soaring wings, but some of them look better with beefy human arms. 

A new subreddit collects a deeply disturbing group of Photoshops: birds with human arms. It's unclear, exactly, how this subreddit happened, or why it started in the first place. All we can do is be grateful for its existence. Thank you, dear subreddit.
