Dad, what are you doing on Lemmy
Dad, what are you doing on Lemmy
France banned soda refills a few years ago to combat obesity. Honestly that makes sense to me.
Ah, so that explains why I’m dead inside.
Lemon and milk would be the easiest for me. I’m sure I’ve had those together before, at least in some dessert.
Not a Nokia and I can’t find that exact model but it seems there were a couple of weird round phones floating around in the early to mid 2000’s:

There were some other weird as hell designs around that period, like the ones in this article:

I recognise all but one of the phones in that link. The time just before smartphones was a weird moment in mobile phone history.
Gummy bear. It’s not hungry, but you are.
So many people being “wooshed” by this comment
I saw one of these some 30 odd years ago (not in the UK) as a kid and it ignited a lifelong love of birds. Haven’t seen one in almost as long, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart. Lucky people getting to see them in the UK!
Hmm when you say flying in formation do you mean in like a cloud or a specific shape? If so could be starlings as they have a very varied repertoire of songs and can mimic other birds (which might explain why Merlin can’t identify them)
When you say ‘jagged wings’ do you mean you can see the individual feather tips (like fingers)? Could be fish crows? The juvenile sound could be a little seagull-y?
Grackles are usually fully black apart from having lighter eyes. Some species flock together, and like starlings they also minic other birds.
Edit: one thing to note is Merlin doesn’t always work well if you’ve turned GPS off on the phone. That might also interfere with identification
Where are you based approximately? Europe/Asia/US/etc? Is the bird fully black? Same size as a crow? Any distinguishing information might help!
If anyone is wondering, that’s a red-backed fairywren. Here’s some other great fairywrens (literally, it’s in their names):
Should…should we tell Squizzy?
Would this work for microdontia? I have two front teeth that failed to grow to the proper size and one of them has a very small root, meaning a crown is not an option and I don’t want to get implants.
