I pointed this out to people who complain constantly about wind turbines. “Ban windows!” They love that.
I see no lies
Why is the bar for Windows as long as the bar for cats?
Because it’s by area, not length.
It never even occurred to me to consider the height of the boxes lol
The area isnt the same though.
As are the numbers

No flu, I guess?
Is the plural for CAT cable really Cats and not CAT cables?
Guess it is like mouses for more than one computer mouse.
TIL.
Cat is a standard util you bastard!
Just use bat!
it’s bloatware
It’s coreutil
3.5 billion birds are killed in North America per year? I didn’t know anywhere near that number even existed.
Wikipedia says there are about 7.5 million square miles in the US and Canada, so that’s over 400 birds killed per square mile, per year, on average.
That’s amazing, no?
You forgot to include Mexico, but even with it it’s pretty high.
I checked again and yeah, it’s more like 9.5 million square miles, so an average of more like 370 bird deaths per square mile, per year. But now that I know that includes chickens and turkeys, and Mexico and Greenland and the Bahamas, it’s OK.
There are more than 8 billion chickens slaughtered every year in the US alone, to give some perspective.
not if we have anything to say about it
-Cats
Misconception. Birdkiller Georg has 3 billion dead birds a year and is also known as New York City
This reminds me of the anti-wind-energy arguments about the turbines killing many birds…
Linux isn’t even on the list but neither is mac. Makes you think
because killing birds isn’t a task of the kernel, it’s the task of a userspace utility part of the coreutils
/usr/bin/stoneThe one for appending files to the standard output, or the one for murdering unresponsive children?
Mac is also Unix based. Doesn’t kill many birds.
UNIX-like superiority
I know a lot of people don’t like Andrew Lloyd Webber but killing yourself is a bit much
On a serious note, the problem with wind turbines is not the total number of birds they strike but the species. Larger birds of prey seem particularly susceptible. Tough this risk can be easily mitigated by not placing the wind turbines directly in their primary habitat or migration paths.
I was going to say, I doubt your pet tabby is killing any California condors at any appreciable rate.
Amazing how easy it is to bias people with data though.
Fuckn Microsoft, man!
Bill gates putting microchips in the water to turn the birds suicidal
What’s up with comms towers? High-voltage AM antennas are not that abundant anymore. Are birds getting cooked close to high-power transmitters? Shot to avoid interference with crucial military infrastructure? Is 5G real?
Well the image claims to be based on data from 2015, so no 5G was not real at that time.
That was a joke, and so was the previous sentence (a reference to the birdsarentreal conspiracy. Seriously, how do comms towers harm birds?
Edit: collisions with tall AM towers’ guy wires
I def have more penguins than windows in my house.
