People often fight about which birds are the best birds,
but everybody can agree that seagulls are the worst.

Edit:

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs described them best. Rats with fucking wings.

You talk like a man who's never been attacked by a wild turkey.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I haven't. But also that line is from a song.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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.

They may be the worst, but someone who kills out of annoyance needs to be on a watchlist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Throw the Canadian Goose in that mix. That bird is simply evil.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

For people not in the proximity of water it's pigeons. Fuck pigeons.

[–] thoomfish 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I love pigeons. They're like rats with wings.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Plus, it's kinda our fault that they're everywhere, since city pigeons are actually dometic animals that have gone feral

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Rats are way smarter than pigeons, pigeons are dumb skyrats.

Fuck you bro team pidgeon over here

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.

I live by the bay of a freshwater lake with gulls so I call they baygulls

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I love seagulls

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Luv me chips. Hate gulls. Simple as.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

So I turns around, and I sez...

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I said seagull: Stop it now!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hm ha hm hm ha

I think it was intentional

[–] EmpathicVagrant 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shortened to “shouldnt’ve”, for those somehow still confused by this.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wouldn't it technically be "shouldn't've?"

[–] EmpathicVagrant 10 points 1 year ago

YES! Thank you for the correction.

[–] TragicNotCute 14 points 1 year ago

Yes, that’s that’s issue with this sentence.

[–] AJT 13 points 1 year ago

What is the point in jokes with some people

[–] LazaroFilm 10 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lachy 2 points 1 year ago

Shouldn’t’ve would be the correct spelling of the contraction.

[–] DaBabyAteMaDingo 10 points 1 year ago

Anthony Fantano has fucking lost it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

This should be told to all seagulls... Is he also a Florida man?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He should have eaten the seagull.

Gull should have gone for his pea brain instead.

[–] Godric 2 points 1 year ago

You are what you eat, and think this man is more of a processed meat and craft beer brain than anything.
