No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I think you're misunderstanding me here.
The way birds attack is basically the embodiment of chaos. Grabbing a flapping, sqwaking, incredibly fast and pissed off bird isn't easy, near impossible. I wanted to snap that roosters neck, and tried to grab his fucking legs as they coming at me. Needed help that day lol
I used to have to catch these bastards and put them in the coop every night. It was my least favorite part of the job. The hens were a delight, loved them. Roosters and geese can fuck off though.
Sure, one might not kill you, but add in a body of water, slick mud, obstacles(things geese and swans are around frequently) ect and someone can definitely get very injured or die because they got knocked over and hit their head or whatever. Plus they're really goddamn aggressive and that can surprise people.
Exercise caution, and don't underestimate them my friend.
My point exactly, mister bird expert.
That can happen literally anywhere, anytime, to anyone, with no influence from any sort of avian.
If you wish to be careless around aggressive birds go ahead.
I'm advising caution for reasonable folks who actually wish to minimize injury to themselves and don't get a hit of dopamine from being deliberately contrarian online.
Enjoy your day my friend! Hope you got your fix.
You wanted a fix of "look what an expert I am", while ignoring the fact that you were wrong the whole time.
Birds can not overpower humans. They can pose dangers to people who don't want to harm the birds, but if a human does want to harm a bird, the human wins. Doesn't really matter which bird and which human, if you stipulate an adult human.
Have there been deaths related to birds? Yes. Can they pose risks, even severe ones, like, say, through sickness? Yes.
Was that the discussion? No.
You're the contrarian here, my friend. I'm just agreeing with the earlier guy who said what is a very clear fact; birds can't overpower humans.
You came in linking an article which I then read, quoted, and then you started backpedaling and now you're accusing me of being a contrarian because I called you out on your contrarian argument which isn't even supported by the thing you linked or any supposed experience you have.
Hope you got your fix of highroading. Enjoy your day! Think positive thoughts and don't dwell on this massive L you took! :))
You seem pleasant. Hope whatever it is you're are taking out on me resolves itself.
Ah, more highroading and ad hominem.
It's okay, it's just a silly thing on a forum. No-one cares you were wrong.
