I know a lot of people don’t like Andrew Lloyd Webber but killing yourself is a bit much
Cats shouldn’t have access to windows.
So pollution doesn’t kill birds at all? Ok…
Why should it? It doesn’t kill humans, or at least we really don’t attribute very many deaths directly to pollution (even though we know it leads to all sorts of cancers and respiratory issues).
After all, if pollution could kill people, why would anybody modify their truck to “roll coal”? That’d practically manslaughter on a very long time scale.
Why would we be using fossil fuels at all, for cars or for power or for lawnmowers or anything, really. The sale and distribution of fossil fuels would be on the scale of committing genocide.
Linux isn’t even on the list but neither is mac. Makes you think
Mac is also Unix based. Doesn’t kill many birds.
UNIX-like superiority
because killing birds isn’t a task of the kernel, it’s the task of a userspace utility part of the coreutils
The one for appending files to the standard output, or the one for murdering unresponsive children?
/usr/bin/stone
Is the plural for CAT cable really Cats and not CAT cables?
Guess it is like mouses for more than one computer mouse.
TIL.
3.5 billion birds are killed in North America per year? I didn’t know anywhere near that number even existed.
Wikipedia says there are about 7.5 million square miles in the US and Canada, so that’s over 400 birds killed per square mile, per year, on average.
That’s amazing, no?
There are more than 8 billion chickens slaughtered every year in the US alone, to give some perspective.
Misconception. Birdkiller Georg has 3 billion dead birds a year and is also known as New York City
You forgot to include Mexico, but even with it it’s pretty high.
I checked again and yeah, it’s more like 9.5 million square miles, so an average of more like 370 bird deaths per square mile, per year. But now that I know that includes chickens and turkeys, and Mexico and Greenland and the Bahamas, it’s OK.
not if we have anything to say about it
-Cats
I pointed this out to people who complain constantly about wind turbines. “Ban windows!” They love that.
But seriously, your cats are fucking the ecosystem up
I actually laughed at that last part.
I don’t let my cats outside without direct supervision.
wait, so if windows are so high. What about like, the rest of the building?
I think windows are that high because birds think they can go through them, they probably don’t think they can go through buildings, but who knows?
i would assume so, but most sky scrapers are entirely glass, and those technically aren’t windows from the outside. So do those count?
Though i guess they also have air patterns surrounding them that would make it difficult to bonk into.
Not sure if you’re making a joke, but windows kill birds because they’re transparent and birds fly into them not realizing it’s there. The rest of the building doesn’t really kill birds because they won’t fly into it.
I see no lies
Why is the bar for Windows as long as the bar for cats?
The area isnt the same though.
As are the numbers
Because it’s by area, not length.
It never even occurred to me to consider the height of the boxes lol
Cat is a standard util you bastard!
it’s bloatware
Just use bat!
Fuckn Microsoft, man!
Bill gates putting microchips in the water to turn the birds suicidal
This reminds me of the anti-wind-energy arguments about the turbines killing many birds…
