For all your owl related needs!
I agree. In a way, I’d prefer the majority of the bad takes I see to be from bots or paid actors, but from listening to family and coworkers long enough, it’s easy to see you don’t need to script or pay people to get terrible opinions. Just give them a platform and they’ll unfortunately provide themselves to no end.
If it was fake, it’d be easier to write them off. It’s much harder to accept that we share the same reality.
Hey, look at that, it is!
Let’s see if I can make it to the next one!
Owl news is largely positive. There are some animals that can’t be saved of course, and it’s always sad coming across one that has been an education animal for decades finally passing, but most owl news is self-contained and won’t have an impact on near as many people. I’d much rather spend my time on that than people news.
Us watching our news feels about the same as a mouse would feel watching owl news. 😬
TF;DR Translation:
The Troublemaking Tawny
Bauges Massif (the general area of the nest)
A climbing club president found an owl nest when he stuck his hand inside a hand hold. It sounds like the hole is near the base of the mountain and is one that would see a lot of use by climbers in that area. The 2 other eggs are not expected to hatch. Warning signs were put up after officials closed the climbing area, and a camera was installed to monitor the owl, as it is a protected species.
Bonus Content: France has 9 types of owl, and it is a very nice variety!
Chouette = Owls with no visible ear tufts.
Hibou = Owls with visible ear tufts.
I never thought I’d say this, but can we channel a little Andrew Jackson energy in regard to the courts?
That’s likely accurate, and I tend to forget my usage is probably different than the majority. Probably at least half my time is creating posts. Since my app got a good draft creation setup, I’m able to make posts ahead of time, so when owl news is slow, I already have a few things in reserve. After that is responding, and since my content is fact based, I’ll often have to do some research to reply properly. What Lemmy time I have left, I typically just hit Top 6 Hour and leave it at that, so that’s how my mind defaults to thinking about sharing content, which as you said, the majority is probably looking broader since their time isn’t including that post/reply time mine is.
I feel I miss out a bit on enjoying Lemmy as a whole, but focusing on the post creation keeps me functioning as a content provider. I’m still posting just things I enjoy, which makes it not feel like work. Being an animal comm helps, as if you’re there, you like that animal in general, but I’m still finding what I think is best and sharing that as opposed to trying to cater to a more specific audience. I share pics I find I like in my various feeds, I put up interesting facts I read on my own from things I’d be reading even if Lemmy didn’t exist, and I like getting questions back, as it makes me learn about things I didnt think about on my own.
I hardly ever get tired of posting this way, even though I’m essentially the only content provider for the comm, save the random person sharing a meme or comic.
I couldn’t help myself…
I’ve had a few cats that enjoyed snacking on random things as well. The sky cats/land owls comparison contintues!
My cats have enjoyed green beans. They all definitely liked chips. The one cat loved that cat grass you can buy to grow your own. My parent’s cat liked powdered donuts. I don’t think any ate fruit. One I saw eating macaroni salad and corn on the cob when she was a stray.
I couldn’t find much discussion on owls eating odd things, but there was a redditor that started pictures of a GHO eating acorns, which sounds very strange. I’m thinking it would just throw them up later. Owls have very weak digestion, and they’d be too big to get past the gizzard.
Owls are birds of prey, so they only eat meat. This can include insects, butterflies, snakes, fish, skunks, porcupines, rabbits, and whatever other small animals they can lift.
They can’t chew, their tongues just work like a conveyor belt to pull things down to be digested, so they can’t really eat a wide variety of things, and they don’t have a crop to break down fruit/vegetable matter or seeds like other birds.
You will find people online of course saying they’ve seen an owl eat this or that. Owls are goofy like most animals and will chew on things to check them out when they are bored, but I don’t see any accounts of them eating anything but meat for sustenance. All the rescues give them various birds and rodents and that’s it. They don’t even need to drink as they get all the water from their prey, though again, they will drink if they’re hot or bored or while taking a bath.
It wasn’t drawn to be explicit, just as gags, but there was top and bottom nudity. Pants splitting, tops falling off, people landing in compromising positions, that kind of stuff. Any part where you would have seen anything was covered with a character face “sticker” instead of a censor type bar. There was nothing romantic or sexual story-wise, but it is stuff that would not normally be broadcast on tv.
To me it’s just a comedy/gag manga. I mainly kept reading for the potato puns after a certain point. The characters are pretty one dimensional and there isn’t any character growth, but it’s alright for what it is. It was short enough to read all of it that I didn’t regret reading it. It was kind of nice seeing different body types represented, and they’re drawn to be suggestive, but at the same time, they were all mainly treated as bits, so to me, that cancels out a lot of what it could have been. There’s nothing I’d call real health tips, there’s no body positivity, and there’s nothing really suggestive enough you couldn’t find better elsewhere just as easily, so I’m not sure the overall point of it. But if you want a short series with likeable but dull unorthodox characters with some ok jokes, it does that, but if you went a few chapters and it didn’t grab you, you won’t be missing out IMO.
After taking a full week vacation where I posted whenever I got up at more random times instead of when I consistently leave for work, the post timing does not seem to be as critical as I thought it would be. I thought that was pretty interesting. I posted anywhere from 7 to 12 EST and overall likes and comments seemed the same to me.
Otherwise, it still seems random what people will enjoy more. I’ve been making 2 posts at the same time, and I’m rather poor it feels as to predicting the one which will be more popular. Even stuff that is slower one day will do better another day. Psychology or marketing aren’t my thing, it would seem.
People still like what I’m doing, and I feel people have been having a little more fun in the comments, so that’s what matters.
I thought they looked really good myself. Since there wasn’t an actual person’s name, I went back and forth deciding if they were legit pics or not, since they looked potentially too good, but since camera info was supplied, I feel that lends authenticity, as people that know what that stuff means can call BS if it isn’t accurate.
Quand il s’agit de chouettes, j’ai les doigts d’or. 😜
Thanks for respecting our time and its monetary value!
