And suddenly it dawns on me why Ferrari's F1 team don't wear their usual red caps during US races...

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 4 points 1 day ago

If he hates fascists why is he on threads

I am using Fedora btw

Not all heros wear capes

Damn, this works against all my enemies. MAGA and Cincinnati Reds fans.

What about the innocent Red Sox fans?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

you ain't innocent, don't front. only teams from your division anyone likes are the Jays and the Rays

— Unbiased nats fan (also in danger from these crows, but willing to switch to the alt caps in my profile pic)

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

On that, we can agree!

Signed, a Pirates fan.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Great idea. Crows can remember faces so when the magas boot off and attack the crow. 

A grudge will be born

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Worse they seen describe you to the others so multiple will know them.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 37 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I like the spirit behind the idea. I strongly dislike putting crows in harm's way, 'cuz we all know a sizable chunk of MAGA fucks wouldn't feel a shred of remorse if they managed to get hold of a crow that went after their hat, or otherwise just pulled out a gun and shot them.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Suggesting that any MAGA has the marksmanship to hit a crow.

train them to poop in them instead.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would imagine that the crows are in places where brandishing a firearm to fire on a bird isn't allowed. Also, while I'm not one of these fascist fuck faces, I've been swooped by red wing black birds, and when it happens the first instinct is, "Fuck! Oh fuck! Bird!!!".

"I feared for my life", if they can use it to justify murdering humans they'll absolutely allow it as a defense to pulling a gun on a bird

Lol teaching it to attack red hats.

[–] LongLive@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Is there a prevalence of carrying firearms among them? The crows would probably learn quickly from a gunshot.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

First the hat; then the eyes.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago

Then the carotid artery.

Crows are pretty good at the old peck'n'dodge, and pretty tough generally, especially when in a murder.

I think we could extend this training to seagulls, baiting the MAGA hats with French fries. Get started now to ruin the nazis' summer.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, if a MAGA pulled a gun and tried to shoot a crow, he'd be more likely to shoot his MAGA companion, as the crows laugh at them.

OTOH, if he managed to hit the crow, ALL the other crows are going to get revenge.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

extend this training to seagulls

Now that's a winning idea, I'd feel pretty bad if a crow got hurt. Fucking seagulls man, screw those things.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But do they have the intelligence to handle this? Crows certainly do. I'm doubtful of seagulls

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, i've seen them to some pretty sneaky stuff for food, but I don't know that even if they could handle it without it being related to food.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

They act exactly like Republicans: MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!

[–] OkeyEffect@feddit.org 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not really fair to the crows.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

One could argue this provides them better long term opportunities

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Here's the thing...

They need only leave if they use alts for vote manipulation.

Could you... Could you teach geese this? Please?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't think they can be tamed

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

No no we just want to hire them

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Inb4 MAGA start legitimately believing that they are drones. Like, serious MTG and man-made hurricane level.

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Birds aren't real" is already a thing

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That's more a joke, I mean real tweaker level stuff

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

"Flat Earth" started as a joke too

My wife and I have been discussing training crows to go after ICE agents.

Discuss only. I swear.

They should use a MAGA hat as the bait hat so crows will know exactly what to look for

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

maybe OOP didn't want to touch a real maga hat, and I can't blame them

I believe they would be able to tell the difference, so yeah 👍

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

eh then for their content they would have to blur out the words to prevent free publicity. Easier to just use a blank so there is less video editing.
