Imagine seeing your dead relative reanimated as a robot so that scientists could study you 🗿
- iirc this was a major concern for face transplants. Person A gets horribly burned; person B dies; A gets B's face; B's mom sees A walking around with B's face and has an existential crisis.
  
  And where's person C in all this? Are we just going to ignore them, as always?
- Take it from me, no fun at all.
  
  I got suspicious when Granny started saying shit like "As an AI Language Model I cannot make sweet potato pie".
- I mean, animals (birds too) def have grieving rituals ("funerals") and emotional suffering caused by loss of a close one.
  
  Seeing a reanimated corpse of that same individual would fuck beyond uncanny-valley anyone.
  
  And even without knowing the individual prior to assimilation, there is no way birds don't recognise it as something different.
  It just isn't physically harming them & won't go away - what are they supposed to do?
The Norwegian Blue prefers kipping on its back -and sometimes taking surveillance photos. Beautiful plumage.
- It's stone dead.
  
  It's ~~stone dead~~ pining for the fjords
  
  FTFY
- Mate, this parrot ~~wouldn't~~ would "voom" if you put four million volts through it!
But they’re already drones.

This is a means for government to downplay the mounting evidence of fake birds. Now they can say “oh that one was a drone, but the rest are real you just happened to find the one done!”
So they replace the dead mechanical parts with new ones but also flash a hacked firmware to enable reverse-spying?
How devious.
That’s cool and all, but it doesn’t beat a cat drone, an ostrich that flies, or a cowcopter. :D

- Where is the giraffe autonomous submarine??
  
  Be the change you want to see in the world, my friend!
- Doh ma gawwwd
- No fucking way
EVEN IN DEATH I SERVE THE ~~OMNISSIAH~~ORNITHOLOGIST
Yea I've heard they're testing ip over pigeon to increase customer internet speeds
So he's saying drones aren't real too?
🌑🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀
So you agree, birds do exist then?
I’m legit going to write this into my will.
Ohhh that's some mondasian bullshit
