@GayDeceiver okay so true story.

I know someone who is BRILLIANT. Knows several programming languages, is a unicorn 🦄 (IT, not real) and doesn't really come across silly.

The reason I bring the last bit up is...he has made the "birds aren't real" comment for YEARS and when prompted...we can't nail down if he really believes it or not.

I'm at a loss...I have no idea if he is just seriously the best deadpan joker on the planet or what?!

@mentallyalex @GayDeceiver
He's probably a deadpan joker, because the "Birds Aren't Real" thing started with a very funny Gen Z guy whose whole movement makes fun of conspiracy theories. He's an extremely funny deadpan comedian.

I understand that a much smaller number of people actually thought it was a real conspiracy that the US government destroyed all the birds in the country and replaced them with drones. That's the magic of the internet for you. 🤷‍♀️

@MaryAustinBooks @mentallyalex I think the same, he’s just pulling y’all’s legs.

@mentallyalex @GayDeceiver Some birds I wish weren't real.

You know the kind.

Long beak, long neck, long legs. Stands near the edge of water. Watching. Waiting.

Nightmare fuel.

@justafrog I imagine they are genuinely terrifying.
