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 5 points 2 days ago

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

I'm guessing this was somewhere in the pacific

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?

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