When I was 9 my mom took me to Disney World. It turns out they have (or at least had) fantastic cinnamon rolls. While I was happily enjoying it a bird stole it right out of my hand. That was over 30 years ago and I still hold a grudge about it.

To change the perspective a bit, you lost a replaceable treat, the bird gets to live another day without starving.

Or maybe the bird died the next day from food poisoning. You never know

Perhaps that bird should get a job.

Once I bought a dessert with sliced almonds on it at the cafeteria at work. I took it outside to eat. But I forgot the spoon, so I went back inside to grab one. When I came back, there was a crow stealing all my almonds. Anyway, he flew off, and I finished the dessert, because it was like 5 bucks and I'm not about to let some asshole crow ruin my dessert.

I believe, seagulls follow a secret agenda to improve kids' diets.

Have you ever seen a seagull steal a healthy snack?

You've got to be the worst pirate I've ever heard of.

Owls may be elegant and fearsome, but they are dumber than rocks.

Owls may be elegant and fearsome

For small vermin they may be fearsome but, as a human, have you ever stood in front of a group of huge ass seagulls with a portion of French fries or a sandwich? They are fierce and fearless monsters that will fuck you up for a piece of your food.

Well, I've lived near a harbor...so yes, I have. It's hardly a terrifying experience though, a few may try to pick something from your plate/table, but I've always just swatted them away and yelled at them. They're mostly just annoying and loud

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

So, they're just the typical French pickpocket

I dunno, I've met some smart rocks. This one time, I lost about 5 games in a row of rock, paper, scissors with this one crafty bastard.

I like the seagulls optimistic point of view

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Same, I'm rooting for the seagull, assuming that's what they're going for.

I've seen comics there before, so I think you can go for it :)
