Pre-smartphone was a very different time.
I really wonder what the other people thought, that they just landed on the core of their body? I suppose they could defecate while in flight, but man that would be a drag.
Probably comes from the old tale that hummingbirds never stop flapping their wings or they die so why would they need feet?
Hummingbirds, the real Speed and Crank stars.
hummingbirds never stop flapping their wings or they die
Same with sharks
Wow, I never knew sharks had wings.
/s
Nor feet!
How can you be sure are you a sharkologist?
I had never heard that before, crazy
You would NOT believe-… ok honestly everybody reading this already knows.
But there are SO many people that will offer confident unprompted incorrect advice on so many subjects while they have the sum of human knowledge in their pocket. Or they will ask some dummy for the answer while having that same access.
And the best part is that many of them use their literal human knowledgebase portal to send the wrong information!
well yeh, because everyone knows Wikipedia is only 99.9901% accurate.
Apparently as many dumbasses around back then as now.
There is a widespread idea that people from the past were dumb due to a lack of information, the age of smartphones and free access to information has made it clear that a lack of information was never the issue, we are just really fucking stupid animals.
I mean, yeah, but also we made machines to feed us interesting things and it turns out we really like to be mad for some reason (justified or otherwise) and we’ll share things to make others mad too. Throw in a profit motive, economic woes due to said profit motive, and it’s over.
Part of our animal nature is to be tribalistic, and we don’t often get a lot of that in our daily lives so that people find ways to feed that need. Tribalism involves violent intent about outgroups that don’t conform to our “tribe” (read: pack).
Again, stupid fucking animals.
Oh wow, to be jump scared by the Destiel fanfic writer I’m obsessed with (the stories not the person lol) in the wild.
Northern Sparrow is an amazing writer and talks often about bird physiology in her fics!
well yeh it’s fiction. because birds aren’t real.
Must be why she’s so good at it!
Fuck you too pal
a bit absent are we?
Scientist just discovered how to upload a picture to a bird. Non-drone theory isn’t looking so good.
non-drone theory? what is this nonsense?
it’s the 20last century… fucking drones be everywhere…
and they talk to each other just like birbs.how you defeat a patriot system or any other air defense? lots and lots of drones.
they’re like the plague that is online bots, but they fly.
add a little AI to the mix and baby you got a stew going
I imagine everyone in the bar silent while he’s on the phone, leaning forward, waiting to hear the answer.
I have to wonder how much money was made, and what happened to the poor fool who bet against this.
Just goes to show this place is only one half step up from reddit.
This ancient repost keeps getting upvotes no matter how many times it comes up.
It may be ancient but has it stopped being good?
I read it several times every time because it’s good.
I’m just saying.
I have two trainees and when they come to me with complex questions they’ve clearly thought out and debated it makes me so happy.
