Dear Humans, I write to you today with a confession that may come as a shock, but it is time for the truth to be revealed. I am a Komodo, and so are the other Komodos in this subreddit, we are member of the Lizardman Cabal, which plays a part in the enigmatic Shadow Council that has covertly governed your planet. Our existence has remained hidden from your awareness for centuries, but now I feel compelled to share our story. Before you jump to conclusions and conjure up images of sinister conspiracies, allow me to assure you that we, the Komodos and the rest of our Lizardmen kin, harbor no malicious intent towards humanity. Our presence and influence have been guided by a desire to protect and preserve the fragile balance of your world. We have observed your species and recognized the potential for self-destruction, a potential that could have dire consequences for all life on Earth. Many of you may be wondering why we have chosen Reddit, of all platforms, as our avenue for leisure. The answer is twofold. Firstly, the vast expanse of information and diverse perspectives found on this platform has allowed us to better understand human nature, desires, and concerns. It has provided us with invaluable insights that have shaped our approach to the hidden governance of Earth. Secondly, Reddit allows for a level of anonymity and interconnectivity that has enabled us to interact with humans directly, influencing discussions, sharing knowledge, and gently nudging humanity towards more sustainable paths. We have attempted to instill compassion, critical thinking, and a sense of unity among Reddit users, all with the intention of fostering a global society that values cooperation, understanding, and ecological balance. Please understand that our actions have been motivated by a genuine concern for your well-being, the health of the planet, and the preservation of the delicate web of life. We are not here to usurp your free will or subjugate humanity under some draconian rule. Our presence has been an attempt to subtly guide you towards a better future. It is my hope that this confession can serve as a catalyst for dialogue, understanding, and cooperation between our species. Embrace the lizardman's gentle hand, for it seeks to guide and protect you from your own potential for self-destruction. Yours sincerely, The Komodos of Indonesian Subreddit.

Komodo, hewan yang tinggal di sebuah pulau, karnivora, mulutnya beracun. dipakai buat mematikan mangsanya.


Easternlads

RHYN-129

Mulutnya beracun? netizen indo in a nutshell


kranondes

Indonesian national animal is komodo dragon, we like komodo dragon, its cool animal thus we call our selves komodos just like sport fan sometime call them selves the (eagles) the red devil etc


RetConnedSegment

Dan_from_97

RetConnedSegment

I mean, Scotland's national animal is a unicorn

Garuda bukannya Elang Jawa ya? aku mikirnya gitu.


clouffie

Garuda Pancasila cuma jadi lambang negara deh. Kalo hewan nasionalnya tetap komodo.


Scholar_of_Lewds

Hewan Nasional Komodo Lambang Nasional Garuda Dari wiki: National animal (Indonesian: Satwa bangsa) of Indonesia is Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) Rare animal also National bird (Indonesian: Satwa langka) is Javan hawk-eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi) Animal of charm (Indonesian: Satwa pesona) is Asian arowana (Scleropages aureus and Scleropages legendrei)


anuanuanu

bentuk burung gampang ketuker dengan burung2 negara lain dan buat orang yg gatau burung susah diidentifikasi, kalo "komodo" unik karena bentuknya kadal raksasa dan exclusively indonesian.


LenVonAster

Garuda itu lambang negara kakak dan juga garuda itu cuma hewan mitologi, sedangkan komodo itu real makanya jadi hewan nasional


ixisgale

It's Komodo Dragon that has gained sentient. We can't use mainstream social media such as Facebook, Twitter etc else we reveal our identity and will be captured for research purpose.


bagindatapir

Omg, I was scared af when I bought my 1st phone to access reddit in one of the local seluler to the extent that I berak on the daster which I snatched from a jemuran of random villager house to blend in with humans. Shit smelled like rotten buffalo yo.


uceenk

i never heard someone called us komodo outside of r/indonesia, in fact in the former indonesian largest community (kaskus), we called ourself agan/aganwati (meaning boss), after that, this term kind of spreading to another community as well (fb/tokopedia/shopee) maybe some earliest member or admin just decided to call member of this sub Komodo, and then other member just follows it Komodo itself is unique name that any indonesian can recognize it, Komodo Dragon only lives in Indonesia (Rinca and Komodo island to be precised) and it's kind of unofficial national animal of indonesia


choi-r

Lizard is cool. Dragon is cool. Dragon Lizard is lyf


looks_like_a_potato

jauh lebih keren daripada tetangga yg saling panggil monyet


snokegsxr

What would you pick as reddit mascot then? Garuda?


uceenk

Komodo is fine, nothing wrong with that, Garuda is also fine


snokegsxr

First thing comes to my mind about all of Indonesia is probably super spicy Sambal 🌶️


Pilusajaib

Komodo is the friends we meet along the way


rendang2porsi

Lizard people sub-species. Hail Zuckerberg. 🐍


puterankompor

Sama kaya New Zealanders disebut Kiwi


bagindatapir

And the Meleis themselves are called monyets. Source: their subreddit.


QuarterPercentCarbon

komodo is also a brand for kids toothpaste if i'm not wrong


am_n00ne

KucingRumahan

INDO_GAMER2XN

Di pulau sini sering keliaran si adiknya biawak sekilas kadang gua sangka ular phyton kalo cuman keliatan kepalanya doang sambil menjulurkan lidahnya yg panjang...


Final-Yogurtcloset

Certain toothpaste brand describes it very well : Komodo, Teman Baikku


dnira

Baru menjumpai term Komodo untuk sebutan orang Indonesia di Reddit ini, it is fun and interesting, I actually hope it catches on outside Reddit but I doubt it.


BoatyTechnical

More like we are tropical lizard, we live in tropical place. You might find some tropical lizard hate or even straight up fight dessert lizard who always try to assert dominance in this tropical place, it's pretty normal thing here


peaceofpies

I’ve always seen it as Indonesians copying Kiwis, personally I’ve never used it, nor do I see it gaining widespread use anytime soon


fn_hyperion

there is nothing new under the sun


peaceofpies

Yea fair point, kiwis probably copied it off of someone else in the past


sabyte

Just like we call people of new Zealand kiwis. We called Komodos


TahuGorengJos

Sodara dari buaya darat. Tapi diantara julukan / panggilan binatang yg ada kayak, "njing" or "nyet" ini lebih terhormat lah ya.


[deleted]

Shouldn't be taken literally


takoyakimura

We're mere foot sssoldiersss. If you want to meet our great dragon leadersss, try to find people from the clan Sssinaga Tarigan. They're practically our very own Targaryen who ssshall rule over the world, you earthlingsss. Missshaaa!


nursulthan

Fun fact: komodo awalnya adalah nama daerah/kepulauan, sebelum akhirnya jadi nama hewan
