That is definitely not a crow... Here's what a judgey crow looks like:

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 47 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (4 children)

So 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?

It feels like you set this up on purpose, lol.

It's a copypasta from, what I'm inferring, is before your time.

A man named Unidan became a beloved figure of the reddit community, akin to /u/Poem_For_Your_Sprog, fucking /u/shittymorph, etc. He would glide into threads, drop bird facts and then talk with the people who replied to his comments before fluttering away.

Fast forward to the jackdaw incident where he very incorrectly stated the paragraph above, and that's about all I know besides his reddit fame imploded afterwards. I want to say there was more of him being a fucker to it, but I didn't care enough to remember.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You're only forgetting that he was using alt accounts to upvote himself and steer the points.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago

That was the fuckery, thank you.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It must be very old copypasta indeed to be before my time, I'm 42 lol

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Lol, I had to make an assumption so I assumed what I thought would be least insulting. Either way - I've given you part of the story, Obi gave you the rest.

[–] c4lm@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Are we sure that's not a Crow, its beak looks pretty long for a Jackdaw

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 28 points 5 months ago (3 children)

That looks like a Grackle to me. Love those little shits, lol. We have a few living in our backyard tree.

[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 months ago

Something something jackdaw

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago

Grackles are so silly! I often see them throwing things around in my shade garden while they forage.

Love how their eyes contrast with the color of their feathers, too!

[–] Klear@lemmy.world -3 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] LaVacaMariposa@mander.xyz 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not at all. Grackles are in the same family as orioles and other black and yellow birds.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's not how the unidan copypasta goes at all =/

[–] LaVacaMariposa@mander.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

LOL. I forgot about that!

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Brewers Blackbird of Judgement...? Possibly a Grackle of Judgement... Not a crow, but judgey for sure.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

So here's the thing... I said a "crow is a grackle." Is it in the same family? No. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies memes, I am telling you, specifically, in science, everyone calls the Grackle of Judgement a Crow. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying "birb family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of The Word, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to birb is the words. So your reasoning for calling a crow a grackle is because scientist people "call the black ones grackles?" Let's get ravens and jackdaws 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. This grackle is a crow and a member of the meme family. But that's not what you said. You said this crow is a grackle, which is 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 right, you know?

It's an important distinction, you know!

Holy bird is the word drop, my god this wo/man is on fire! (Alternatively: they are on fire!)

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is that even a crow? The eye looks wrong. Most crows I've seen have full black eyes.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

It’s a Grackle which is not a crow but looks, sounds, and acts like one

I came to the comments for the gallowboob copy pasta. Did not leave disappointed.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Unidan

And he was banned for it

[–] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Oh yeah that's right. I get the reddit mega post-whores confused.

Is this.... an original Lemmy meme?!?

This might be bigger than beans n jeans

[–] bamfic@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's stolen from a tinder convo posted on mastodon.

[–] neo@lemy.lol 7 points 5 months ago

That sounds like a joke, but it's true. To clear things up, the offense was: not being able to digest cheese.

[–] Chriszz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I’m pretty sure I used crow of judgment years ago, I think it was a niche meme that never really took off

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

YOU'RE A GRACKLE!

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

A Raven, also known as a Giga-Crow, landed outside my fence the other day, and I felt blessed.
