Periodic Portion of Peril Thread

All right, team, let's see if we can keep this one a little cleaner than the Daily Dose of Doom.

Who needs birds? All they do is sh*t on your car, right?

And the bees.   Need to pay more attention to the birds and the bees.

An interesting exemplar of the decline in biodiversity, particularly birds, and its broader impacts can be found in the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon in the US.

Because of such extensive hunting, Passenger Pigeons once numbering in the 3-5 billion population range went extinct. Oh well right?

Well, Passenger Pigeons at that population heavily consumed acorns, leaving few to fall and feed other species like mice. When the Passenger Pigeon went extinct, the population of the white-footed mouse blossomed, who also fed on acorns.

The problem, white-footed mice were tick hosts and carried Lyme disease, which means as their population bloomed, so did ticks that harbor Lyme disease and increasing the threat to human populations nearby.

Birds are important...except for the ones that don't exist and are really part of a secretive government plot to surveil us.

Birds aren't real.

As a modern American, I firmly believe in lebensarum and less birds = more room

Passenger Pigeons predated the government plot to use birds to surveil us.

Three words:

Glidability
Swoopability
Zoomability

Always keep this in mind when attacking our tremendous bird species.  We should be far more caring and respectful.  I prefer a world alongside these magnificent creatures.  Even if one poops on my windshield. 

[MuggsyB]

And the bees.   Need to pay more attention to the birds and the bees.

We'd be beyond fked without 🐝 🐝.  One of the most important species to our entire ecosystem and way of life.

Birds suck but not as bad as fascists and those that support them

Consistency is important.

We have a fascism problem in this country.  Some people want to bury their heads in the sand but ignorance isn't a fault in America.  It's encouraged.

Birds should never be ridiculed, besmirched, or disparaged.  This is a troubling trend among Scoopers and a poor representation of our species.

You would need an 100 inch vert minimum, not to mention 15 secs of hang-time, to execute this feat.   It also would not be possible, even with these attributes, to evacuate under such circumstances.
