    I hope what you’re implying is that swan feathers are a suit made to deceive humans from their obvious lizard people pet agenda, and that Big Feather needs to be held accountable. I’ve already booked guests for the podcast and have 17 articles in my substack,

      I want to see a Jurassic Park movie where it’s just geese and swans breaking out of captivity, and mildly annoying everyone.

          Weirdly, the notion that swans are particularly aggressive is one I learnt on the English-speaking part of the internet (so I instantly assume it’s an USianism). Any references to swan behaviour that I can find in German talk about how they’re associated with calm and serenity.

            I’ve hung out with swans heaps in Australia and they’ve been almost entirely chill bros who will take food if offered but won’t harass you for it. I wonder if different species have different demeanours, like how Canada geese are known for being especially aggressive.

            In my experience it’s more of a specifically British phobia. They have these sayings about swans breaking arms…

            i have to wonder if americans uh, get them confused with geese… Because geese can absolutely have a tendency to actively harass you, while swans don’t get close enough to interact with us in the first place.

            Unless american swans are just suffering from lead poisoning like the general population?

            That’s because the Germans have enough sense and morals to leave them alone :)

            Don’t know, I’ve seen swans being total assholes in Finland, in Estonia, in Czechia, so maybe in Germany around Baltic shore they are also not seen as calm

            There are a lot of animals that are seen completely not how they are, based on vibes, like wise owls, or cunning snakes, etc

        “Remain perfectly still, their vision is based on movement.”

        “Nah, fuck this bird.” Kicks swan to the moon

        I want to see a Jurassic Park movie where it’s just realistic velociraptors breaking out of captivity and are just mildly annoying. Then the main character gets stomped on by a brachiosaurus.
