The conspiracy that ALL birds were drones, not that they made drones out of dead birds.

This is more of a drone corpse

This would actually disprove that 'birds aren't real' and points to a more sinister cabal.

This is clearly just a limited hangout so they can say "look at how crude our taxidermy robots are! This totally proves birds are real!"

The government wants you to believe they aren't capable of creating the omnipresent surveillance network that are so-called "birds". We've been under this surveillance since the early 60s when the government avian extermination program was in full swing. Why else do you think they were so gung-ho about DDT? It helped provide smokescreen for the avian replacement system experiment. Wake up, Birds Aren't Real

But if you read the avain replacement system experiment paper you would have seen it was of limited success. Sure pigeons and starlings are no longer real, but those were the only 2 successfully replaced species.

You forget that paper is from the mid-80s. I don't understand why people think they just stopped replacing birds. The authors of that paper based it all on declassified documents that were almost 30 years old even then! If anything the government just got better at hiding what they were doing, mark my words in another couple decades it'll come out that it's not only the pigeons and starlings that have been replaced but also robins, seagulls, and a variety songbirds!

IIRC the issue with waterfowl conversion was sudden failure of seals, buoyancy and ballast systems.

The seagull program was hit with the extra problems of salt water

Last leak mentioned the advances have made in the house sparrow model, but battery life is still an issue.

Songbirds aren't used due to birdwatchers; as outlined in the paper "Avain surveillance: security, counter surveillance, and camouflage" read the updated 2019 version.

I forgot to add, not fucking serious, because if you click the link it takes you to a tech death metal song.

Really should remember my fellow neurodivergents have issues when you deliver a joke deadpan.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Mentioned issues aside, I’ve met quite a few neurotypicals who are extremely blind to satire, deadpan or not.

didn't notice the link, sorry
