without air traffic controllers?

LodeMike@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 299d (4 replies)

Birds have a compass built into them. No traffic controllers they fly into windows all the time.

Maybe they should consider flying into Linux instead

*laugh track*

MeThisGuy@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 299d (1 reply)

that's because they're drunk on fermented berries

Who knew pigeons have such human problems with drinking and flying.

pigeons knows whats about, no food on the floor, because no one is buying anymore. so all went somewhere else.

yopyop@sh.itjust.works · 23 pts · 300d (1 reply)

Duh. If there's nobody to change their batteries of course you're not gonna see them.

python@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 299d

Man, you'd think the government would upgrade to Li-Ion Batteries with proper Induction Charging Stations, but apparently they don't value population surveillance enough to cough up the budget for that. Typical 🙄

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 300d (2 replies)

No terrorist attacks, "moon landings," or global pandemics either. Think about it.

The illuminati lizardpeople are furloughed for the duration of the shutdown

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 300d

Knew it.

peoplebeproblems@midwest.social · 19 pts · 300d (5 replies)

Pidgeons. Geese. I haven't seen a raven, or owl, or most song birds.

It's almost like... They aren't real 👀

OpenStars@piefed.social · 8 pts · 299d

Or won't be, soon enough.

AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 299d (3 replies)

There's also bird flu, and the U.S. government wasn't really doing a great job of keeping track of that even before the shut down. I guess we'll find out for sure eventually, but it just depends on which happens first. Government reopens, birds migrate north in the spring, or we all start spreading/contacting bird flu, and nobody will tell us why we're suddenly not seeing as many people outside either.

peoplebeproblems@midwest.social · 3 pts · 299d (2 replies)

Are you proposing the government drones that we haven't been seeing are spreading weaponized drone flu, or that they have a slowed production until the spring because they are planning something much bigger?

AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 299d (1 reply)

Yes.

peoplebeproblems@midwest.social · 2 pts · 299d

Of course. It all makes perfect sense.

capcool@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 300d (1 reply)

Because of the lack of funds, they cant spy. HF, reading news paper did give me some knowledge.

The micro-hydrogen Avifuel Cellsâ„¢ they run on are super expensive.

Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 300d

There's definitely a spot I walk by that is crawling with pigeons that get fed daily for squab farming.

But I get the joke.

Etterra@discuss.online · 5 pts · 299d (2 replies)

I have seen geese, but they're Canadian geese.

PugJesus@piefed.social · 1 pts · 299d (1 reply)

Government drones gone rogue

Etterra@discuss.online · 3 pts · 299d

No I think the Canadian government is taking advantage of the situation. I mean, where do you think Canadian geese are manufactured?
