Here’s the thing. You said a “jackdaw is a crow.” Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing. If you’re saying “crow family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens. So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people “call the black ones crows?” Let’s get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that’s not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you’d call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don’t. It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?
I’ve yet to see anything like this emerge from Lemmy itself; no real platform-wide infamous episode. I wonder what the first Lemmy-based episode of Whang! is going to be?
No drama yet AFAIK but The Picard Manuveur is everywhere
That’s just Gallowboobs in secret though.

Don’t forget magpies!
My wife when we first moved to Wyoming: “What a pretty and dainty bird. What is it?”
Me: That’s a Magpie.
Magpie: *bathes in blood as it feasts on the flesh of a dead elk*
My wife:
You picked a Hitchcock frame as a meme and didn’t go for one from Birds. Shame!
I went Birds first but didn’t find one that really fit, hence Psycho.
Magpies are the friendliest birds for people but I almost feel bad about it because they’re dicks to other birds.
Australian Magpies aren’t corvids, they’re butcherbirds, unrelated to the European magpie.
They’re cute, but they’re definitely dicks.
I just looked them up. They look pretty cool.
In my country everyone hates Magpies because they’re aggressive to people
That man looks like a mime from hell
Steller’s Jay fits in with the family and makes sure the blue jay doesn’t get lonely
Scrub jay checking in
The normal looking one looks adopted. Like the native kid from King of the hill
“adopted” lol. I think you missed a big sub plot, my guy.
I didn’t really watch the show since it’s one of those old boomer cartoons.
Oh well if you ever want a biting satire of texas it holds up.
Stop making my back hurt by saying that
