Where are you going to get a coconut on the Western Front? Some kind of swallow-based logistics system?

A swallow, carrying a coconut?

If it's an African one. Not sure about the European one if we're talking young coconuts, those things are heavy.

African ones are non migratory though.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

[-] hector@lemmy.today 4 points 17 hours ago

Not at all, the swallow could've carried it by the husk.

A swallow couldn't carry a coconut from the tropics, they don't have the mass and thrust of flying necessary to lift and carry one that far.

Yeah, where were they fighting, the Pacific or something?

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

I'm guessing this was somewhere in the pacific

No man, you gotta upgrade to Big Gulp based logistics.
