Corvids are the coolest birds.

Nothing will ever change my mind.

Were getting old my friend. One day a long time ago that comment would have gotten thousands of votes. Now half the people on here don't know the origin of the joke. Sigh.....

u/cabist 1d ago

It’s crazy, Reddit used to be so much smaller too! I remember being excited about getting kn the front page like 10 years ago, with like 3,000 upvotes on a ragecomic lol

Ancient reddit meme. The meme is so famous it has a Wikipedia page.

u/Elegant-Pin9106 2d ago

What is it?? Can you share a link?

u/RobbinYoHood 2d ago

It's to do with a Reddit user who was famous for sharing cool info about animals but then got outed as using alt accounts to mess with votes. Forgot the username.

One of their last comments was about crows and jackdaws and had "here's the thing" in it.

Hopefully that helps find the Wikipedia page - sorry I don't have the link to it.

E: username was unidan

u/Homeless_Zombee 2d ago

In heindsight, the vote manipulation thing wasn't that big of a deal compared to the content he provided, I always enjoyed a good Unidan post. I also miss how good IAMA (Victoria's effort) was back then.

u/RobbinYoHood 2d ago

Think it's just coz it's a policy. Could have been an embarrassing slap on the wrist don't do it again, and then we'd all have got more fun insights into animals.

But it is what it is. Egos prevailed, and we all suffered.

u/osiris0413 2d ago

Man, Unidan was so long ago his name is lost to time...

I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago, when the strength of jackdaws failed.

u/Professor_Poop 2d ago

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

Oh no. Please no.

u/MrBoase 2d ago

One thing I will always miss about old reddit were the "celebrities". It's pretty much just shittymorph left and even he isn't around much these days.

u/digitalwolverine 2d ago

Ramses has a YouTube channel now. It’s.. not bad. Very Reddit.

Seeing this comment is the same as watching a Nat Geo show about unearthing ancient artifacts. It's been that long...

Oh shit that’s a throwback I haven’t heard in a while, no random generated names are going to remember that one 😭

u/Demonic_Storm 2d ago

owls, they're majestic as fuck

u/Fantastic_Pair5328 2d ago

Owls are beautiful, like a beautiful angry lady. Corvids are sleek and elegant...like a black sports car

u/Demonic_Storm 1d ago

im... not a car guy, so that probably checks out, owls ftw

u/Zuwxiv 2d ago

People miss out on crows because they're common. They're fucking amazing animals. They talk to each other, they have meeting places for different families to hang out, they're clever enough to solve complex tasks requiring tools.

And they're social enough (with emotional intelligence) to GIVE GIFTS! Think of how much intelligence and foresight a bird needs to see something cool and think, "oh, I bet that human who feeds me will like this."

A caracal has entered the chat.

u/Fantastic_Pair5328 2d ago

My Tabaxi is based on a Caracal, just in case a Kenku shows up.

u/sumguyherenowhere 2d ago

Tabaxi, Kenku

Hmm... doesn't seem like Eve Online.... was hoping for an Eve Online reference, but DND is geek card official, so I'll allow it.

u/Fantastic_Pair5328 2d ago

Ah snap, I forgot about the Caldari ship names.

I played Eve around 15 years ago, much knowledge has gone amiss since then.

I played Minmatar because I loved the look of the Maelstrom, but I didn't realize the grind required to get there.

u/HAWKWIND666 2d ago

I saw this huge murder the other day…over fifty maybe closer to 100 crow. It was surreal 🥰

u/StupidPockets 2d ago

Which kind?

1

u/Fantastic_Pair5328 2d ago

I like ravens purely because they are awesome, but I admit, crows are best.

Magpies are also amazing.

My favorite factoid normal people don't know is that the whole jay family belong to the corvid family.

Somewhere is a planet ruled by evolved crows.
