They heard that the owls support Palestine sadness

(The real reason is that barred owls are invasive and are pushing out the native owls. It's still pretty sad though because it's not the barred owls fault)

Oh no! I decided to use the barred owl as my mascot.

Thought your pfp was a Northern White-Faced Owl

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Oh, my PFP is just whatever came out of Dall-e when I told it to make me a screaming owl.

I meant whenever I actually release a game and need an actual studio logo, the barred owl was the most obnoxiously loud owl I could find, so that's what I was planning to use

I find it strange that we consider them invasive. If an animal flies from one part of the country to another and sets up shop, that seems like a pretty natural process that shouldn't be interfered with to me (unless maybe a huge truckload of owls was brought out West which started the whole thing I guess).

Maybe it's more about protecting an endangered owl than the actual invasiveness. Idk, sometimes natural processes fucking sucks. Anyway, humans are a part of nature so if we help out a struggling species, is that not a natural process?

The US sure loves their genocides. I'm hoping for a protracted owl war against the regime. Maybe Dirt_Owl can help set that in motion.

@[email protected] Might as well tag them.

Nobody should talk behind someone's back, even as a joke.

They can turn their head 360 degrees so it's not my fault.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

It's all your fault.

In fact, Adam and Eve? That was your fault too.

So like ther was this one time some mice got into some nuclear waste bags and consumed like Cobolt 60 contamination.

The the owls got a hold of the mice and the base personnel had to track down the owls because their poo was leaving radioactive waste all over.

Who would win: the US government, or 500,000 owls?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

So this has got to be barred owls, right?
