Blackout Drunk Man Mistakes Blowing Trash Bag For Unknown Animal

This image is a screenshot of a public post from the X (formerly Twitter) platform, shared by user Lukas Battle. The post details the user's embarrassing and absurd drunk mishap: after getting blackout drunk the previous night, he posted a story video showing himself following what he believed was an unidentified strange animal down a street, repeatedly yelling 'what are you? I've never seen one like you?' at the object. When he woke up the next morning and rewatched the recorded story, he realized the supposed 'animal' was actually just a black trash bag being blown across the sidewalk by wind, leaving him too embarrassed to speak. The humor derives from the relatable awkwardness of regrettable drunk actions and the ridiculousness of the misidentification.
