    Here’s the thing. You said a “jackdaw is a crow.” Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing. If you’re saying “crow family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens. So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people “call the black ones crows?” Let’s get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that’s not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you’d call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don’t. It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

      I’ve yet to see anything like this emerge from Lemmy itself; no real platform-wide infamous episode. I wonder what the first Lemmy-based episode of Whang! is going to be?

          An infromative biologist redditor named unidan made the comment above. The majority of reddit loved him. Whenever he posted a comment, reddit would literally get on their knees to jerk and suck him off with upvotes. That and the usual tone of his comments made me dislike him. He had a hissy fit with another redditor over a crows/jackdaws. He revealed that he made alts to downvote other redditors and upvote himself, even if the other redditor was correct. His downfall was very satisfying lol

      My wife when we first moved to Wyoming: “What a pretty and dainty bird. What is it?”

      Me: That’s a Magpie.

        You picked a Hitchcock frame as a meme and didn’t go for one from Birds. Shame!

          Fuck, maybe that’s why my wife calls me a magpie, but also tells me to shut up sometimes. (I like shiny things)

    Magpies are the friendliest birds for people but I almost feel bad about it because they’re dicks to other birds.

        Australian Magpies aren’t corvids, they’re butcherbirds, unrelated to the European magpie.

        They’re cute, but they’re definitely dicks.
