Anonymous Coward User ID: 83556962 United States 06/13/2022 09:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually yes I have. Lots of birds will just sit there while I’m walking my dogs and it’s almost like they are playing a game of seeing how close the dogs will get. Never seen it before like this. Also noticing a ton of dead birds. More than usual for hot summer |

Crows and pigeons.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83539168 Yes. I have been able to walk up to them just sitting in the road. Stay there for a few and take off. Maybe not same type of bird you said in thread but yes to everything else+ |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83650511 Serbia 06/14/2022 04:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Indeed... [link to image.cnbcfm.com (secure)] Speaking of which... would Tom Cruise post an image of Tom Cruise's double, for fun, as an inside joke, and/or as a prank? I think he would. ;) Back to topic... I learned something interesting the other day: Never assign anything a probability of either 0 or 1... because 0 and 1 aren't probabilities to begin with. [link to www.lesswrong.com (secure)] So... I'll start with a null hypothesis (from my local frame of reference of a complete ignoramus about a new subject) of 50/50 (probability of 0.5), and then modify that probability as new data comes along. So far, I haven't seen any majorly weird behavior of birds... in real life.. but I did see a indescribably weird one (involving a pigeon and a sparrow in an... Ouroboros-style behavior) in a dream last night, so... somebody's testing their own null hypothesis (with probability of 0.5) that synthetic telepathy is real? Again? How many people do you need to personally verify something before everybody just starts assuming that it is real (without any personal verification)? That's a genuinely valid question, mind you. It's how all religions work (including scientific religions, since all science, eventually and inevitably, turns into religion... because of people's laziness to personally verify anything)... but really shouldn't work like that. My point is: You don't need me to verify anything for you. You can do it all by yourselves. |
