Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense

They go to a school where burgundy hoodies are part of the uniform?

It's not uncommon for public high schools in Australia to have hoodies as part of the uniform. So if one of their school colours is burgundy, it's possible. That said, schools that have hoodies usually don't require slacks.

Can anyone tell me why kangaroos are so ripped? I've been searching variations of "why are kanagroos so ripped?" and all it returns are hits on body building forums going "holy poo poo that kangaroo is jacked". My whole life I've never heard anything about kangaroos being ripped as hell but every picture I see of one lately the loving thing looks like its on steroids.

It's a university campus, so I'm afraid they're out of high school. This is merely how things work in Canberra, I'm afraid. It's such a small town we have regular meetings to decide how to dress every day of the week.

I'm looking at some kangas as I post this and they are not ripped. I think the one in the above picture is a big red or something like that, they are pretty massive. Most kangas are smaller than a man.

We're pretty much the only mammals that aren't ripped. Predatory animals like cats, wolves and bears have a lot of muscle. Prey animals are either agile or fast, so they need muscles too. As for close relatives? Check out this guy:

ask me about how voting Donald Trump was worth 400k and counting dead.
I met an Australian dude who looked like a 70-year old wizard and said he had a PhD in marsupial endocrinology. So, unless someone intelligent comes in, you're going to have to listen to my dumb anecdote.

He said that kangaroos are maximally adapted for survival in their climate, and literally ride the very edge of their metabolism where they retain maximal muscle mass and keep very little fat. He had all sorts of interesting things to say about their adaptation to temperatures and what it might mean for us as humans. Told me that if you really wanted to put your body in maximum energy-consumption mode, you'd get yourself cold just to the point before you're shivering, and then you burn maximal calories trying to maintain body temperature.

Who knows if it's true, but FFS, this is PYF Funny Pictures, not Marsupial Endocrinology 101.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that these particular men were wearing a high school uniform; I assumed they were just 3 equally fashionable guys. I was just letting the poster before me know that burgundy school uniform hoodies weren't such a wild idea.

Very lean. It's actually not that delicious, though. A lot like beef, only slightly gamey. That said, a cafe near me does an amazing Thai-style warm salad with couscous and kangaroo, and it is spectacular !

Roast kanga is pretty great. It also goes great in a souvlaki or steak sanga.

This. Had kangaroo steak in a very nice restaurant a while back, and while the consistency was perfect, it had that "hmm I've had this flavor before when I was forced to kill and eat a rabbit in a shithole backwoods military camping school" tinge to it. I'll stick to beef.

Kangaroo goes really well in a curry or stew I find, it soaks up flavour really well. Kind of like goat in that respect.

Yeah, I like kangaroo in a curry by far over having it in a steak or sausage. I still prefer venison though, but that's very expensive here.

I'm reminded of Snowflake the albino gorilla that lived for 39 years at the Barcelona Zoo, and how much of a difference the hair makes in how apes look. I'd be interested in seeing like a blog or something collecting animals that have had their fur removed. Like our buddy up there, or then when the Spectacled Bears at the Berlin Zoo had mange and lost theirs, and went from adorable teddies to servants of Gozer:
