People really argue about which birds are the best birds, but everyone can agree that seagulls are the worst.
Turkeys are stupid and angry. I think the only bird less intelligent than a turkey would be a guinea fowl, but they have the edge of just being suicidally dumb. I've had a Guinea run away from my car and then back in front of it in confusion, but never have I had one openly charge my vehicle. I've had a turkey do that, though.
Wait. Are seagulls worse than black swans? Are they worse than Australian Magpies? I mean these surely got to be the top three worst birds, personally I'd prefer a seagull to a swan, but I've met enough magpie haters so I wouldn't be so sure everyone agrees
Never seen neither of those, but I've seen enough seagulls to not be sad if one day they all be deleted off this fucking planet
Plus, it's kinda our fault that they're everywhere, since city pigeons are actually dometic animals that have gone feral
Everything we complain about regarding pigeons are traits humans intentionally bred into them across millenia.
Pigeons did not invade cities. We abandoned them there, after they helped us coordinate building and connecting them. And we inexplicably treat them like the invaders after abandoning them the second they were no longer deemed useful.
first off, in the politest way possible, fuck you
'me chip' isn't correct either
'simple as'... simple as what?
they're not going for correct grammar, they're phonetically spelling the accent and slang
It is my understanding that it is common in NZ/AUS to leave the “that” out which is implied.
To expand further the implication is that the whole proposition is simple and 'Simple As' is the end of the conversation, much like 'End of' which likewise suggests that no further analysis is needed.
Having known a few Aussies, I have never heard them leave out “that”. It fits in though with some of the other oddities in dialect they have.
I thought Lemmy was left leaning, but the Grammar Nazis, Meme Division are apparently alive and well.
How the fuck are you going to define someone by a pension? Seems like a lot of assumptions and prejudice goin in that definition. Is Pension like a town or something too?
I know some safety nets are better than none (and that this is a meme thread I'm dragging down), but don't fool yourself - millions of older people in the UK go hungry and cold because they can't afford the basics.
I think we got a similar situation all over europe, maybe not as bad and certainly better than most of the world but still shitty!
This is correct.
Still completely irrelevant to the story though (but that's to be expected in tabloid territory).
