As a founding member of the organization Birds Were Real, I resent this conflation of reality. Clearly this is evidence that birds were at some point real but now are not, Birds Aren't Real is trying to spread propaganda to push a narrative that is factually wrong.

Clearly birds existed at some point, the fossil record is clear, its just there is zero evidence that there are any living birds left among the cohort scientists claim as "birds". It seems like every other week news comes out about how some flying creature that scientists were previously totally confident was in the bird family is actually a totally different unrelated animal like a bat or a cricket or a flying squirrel.

The Birds Aren't Real people are absolute nutjobs, they deny the reality of the fossil record right in front of their very eyes, as hard as it is to believe for some, birds did exist at some point in Earth's history.

I'm a member of Birds Are Real and the OP is a misinfo campaign to cover up the fact that birds are real and are plotting against us

The thing I don’t get about you Birds Are Real freaks is that if birds were indeed still real and they were in fact plotting against us, why wouldn’t you just join them and help them plot? Certainly you would be in the most powerful position in the human race if you became the loyal human minions the new global overlords could trust.

The internal logic of you peoples weird little, let’s face it CONSPIRACY, doesn’t even make sense or at least it means y’all would fight on the human side in a Global Human-Bird War instead of the birds. I mean come on, if we actually did live in the absurd reality you believe is true where birds are still real then how could you possibly live with that choice?

All the cool people would immediately realize Bird Kingdom would be way fuckin better than this B-movie budget slow motion apocalypse where only a handful of billionaires have died yet in submarines.

I should be amazed you're being up voted while saying today's birds aren't real but then I remember this is lemmy

Birds aren't real, bro. Why do you think they follow you everywhere? Why are there always birds around? Because they are SPYING on you.

Maybe I've seen so many poets of people who actually believe this stuff that I can't tell satire from reality anymore

I mean it’s compelling evidence but frankly you are going to need to provide a lot more cross substantiating backup evidence to prove such bold claims.

This isn’t a smoking gun like the infamous Nessie Photo that proved the existence of modern subfjord lava cave Plesiosaurs, and y’all think that just providing this one picture proves it all….
