This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Could it be leucistic? How can you tell that from vitiligo?

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 9 months ago

I mean, it could be. You can’t really tell one apart from the other unless you see the progression over time. Leucistic would be born this way, while vitiligo would slowly lose pigment over time.

A flock of crows is called a murder

Looks like an even bigger bird has pooped on it.... a shitstorm it seems

Congrats on spotting this! I bet most people mistake it for a pigeon.

Thought it was, even after reading the title

Birds aren't real.

[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Neither are we.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But birds are less real, especially pigeons and emus.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If emus aren't real, then who/what defeated Australia in that war?
