@Gargron oh dear

gimme a sec
@Vann that's a cool looking bird, but how does it wrap around to promoting masto?
@troubleMoney @gargron @Vann In the second episode of the BBC nature documentary series Africa (accessible on Netflix in the US) there is a segment beginning about 15 minutes in on shoebills. In that segment the older of two newly hatched shoebills bullies the younger until the parents agree it would be best just to let the younger chick starve to death. Don't keep watching either, because it's almost immediately followed by footage of an elephant calf dying of thirst.

@Gargron @troubleMoney @RainbowStardiver @Vann so wait I still don't get how the shoebill brought in new users?
@Vann @wakest @troubleMoney @RainbowStardiver the shoebills brought them in a package
@gargron @Vann @wakest @troubleMoney
The shoebill would only bring new users as an insurance policy in case there was anything wrong with the old users, but wouldn't do anything for them. That is the nature of shoebills.
