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.

[–] Chais 5 points 2 years ago

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

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 2 years 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

[–] SpeakinTelnet 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

I love seagulls

[–] [email protected] 66 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Luv me chips. Hate gulls. Simple as.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

So I turns around, and I sez...

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I said seagull: Stop it now!

Hm ha hm hm ha

I think it was intentional

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Chais 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

YES! Thank you for the correction.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

What is the point in jokes with some people

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Anthony Fantano has fucking lost it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

He should have eaten the seagull.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Fuck seagulls

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

Whole Kelly family screams

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago
