Some people will believe anything if you say it with enough authority and conviction…
My mum asked me what it was like in first class on the plane. I told her you get electric windows rather than wind down.
On a greek habourside I told my wife the the long things hanging over the sides of yachts were called fenders. I then added that the more rounded ones were called gibsons.
She shared this fact with lots of people until I had to fess up.
She wasn't happy. Largely because she'd been in rock bands for years.
I once convinced two people that I worked with that I used to design biscuits. The swimmer and hockey player from sports biscuits were my designs.
I also convinced the same two that a kindly older gentleman we worked with had the ends of his fingers taken by Triads for failing to pay interest on a loan. He lost them in an accident as a youth. Some folk will believe anything if you can tell them with a straight face.
(Looks over shoulder) I convinced Mrs F that dragons, yes, actual flying, fire breathing dragons were real and shared space with dinosaurs. Bless her gullible little heart. She rumbled me after a few days.
I convinced an ex colleague that you could dig for cheddar cheese on the top of the Mendip hills.
The theory is strong in Leamington Spa
Is the dog real, or an undercover agent for the 'birds'?
Makes you think.
We have a 'pet' pigeon that visits our yard a few times daily.
The dog always pegs it out barking at him so I think knows something.
Keep em peeled folks.
Genesis 20:21-22 ... obviously birds are real because God created them on the fifth day
For my shame..
There's a cafe in Spain I go to regularly.. They do excellent scrambled egg tostada for breakfast as they have free range chickens out back.
In the chicken field/area whatever it's called, there are a lot of lime trees.
Anyway I was chatting to one of the locals about how tasty the eggs are... He said the chickens eat the fallen lime fruits and that's what gives them such a rich flavour.
It took a few seconds before I realised that a chicken is not going to eat a lime.
Faceplam! Lol!
I was about to start a new thread about how to diplomatically cope with family over next week who are anti vax/5G masts/doctors/icebergs , but I think i'll fight fire with fire and just claim we believe birds aren't real.
I'd go for flat earth but fear that's a little too close to their belief spectrum and all I'd do is recruit more people to it!
@villageidiot fry their brains by talking about car chemtrails and how THE MAN is trying to stop khan exposing them.

I've completely missed this?
Why would they not eat lime?
@zippykona. Hah, deal. They'll buy into that one simply because Khan isn't white unfortunately 🙁
Why would they not eat lime?
Maybe they would if they were starving, but would you eat a fresh plain lime? Lol!
I'm not a chicken expert but I've seen them being fed some sort of grain mixture... That sounds more like what a chicken would prefer!

No opposable thumbs so they can’t peel them.Also citric acid plays havoc with batteries
Yeah, but these chickens were free range,

I've seen them eat stuff pigs turned down. They're pecky not picky.

Not really, they can't go too far from the controller.

Not really, they would much prefer some meat. They are carnivorous mini-dinosaurs after all.

Yeah, you need something a little more extreme.. How about this?
King Charles is a vampyr. Be sure to insist it's spelled that way too for bonus points.
Why? Well, the Prince of Wales is related to Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and many royals in Charles’s bloodline were known to have the disease Porphyria, which is an iron deficiency that causes people to be sensitive to sunlight.
I've never tried to feed lime to chickens but quail sure won't touch it. They are a bit like mini pigs when it comes to eating though.
We have chickens, and a lime. I shall report back. Unless, of course, there's an imminent guacamole related emergency.
It wouldn't surprise me if they eat it, they'll eat pretty much anything, except carrots. They've also been known to pounce on a jackdaw and put it in a critical condition. Nothing steals their food. Nothing

In the interest of science, you really have to do this now 😀

Chicken with lime and a guacamole emergency? Do you mean you can't premarinade the chicken if you haven't any guacamole to go with it?
can you test if they will drink soy sauce too
They eat chips lathered in the stuff...
So....
Have you ever seen a baby Pigeon?
No you haven't, have you !!
What more do you people need to see the truth !?!
Have you ever seen a baby Pigeon?
Yeah, a few times.
Wake up cheep-le!
Have you ever seen a baby Pigeon?
No you haven’t, have you !!
It’s because the baby pigeons are so ugly the parents are too ashamed to let anyone else see them, so they’re kept out of sight.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Birdies.
Had a few pigeons in the road this morning that don't move until the very last second.
Those are the ANPR ones I reckon.
King Charles is a vampyr.
Well I've never seen his reflection in a mirror? Have you?
The 'debris' deposited on my car would prove that birds are real. If it's not birds then what is it?! 😀

What the hell are you doing to get bird debris all over your car? Was this you

COO DESERVE IT Shocking moment cruel driver gets ultimate comeuppance as he speeds at flock of pigeons – and ends up with a wrecked car
Maybe it's not that all birds aren't real, just some of them? Seems more plausible.

We have to clear up three or four per annum before the dog eats them. They tend to build a poor quality nest in our lilac tree from which the chicks have a habit of falling out - they’re really quite crap at breeding. Or maybe the dead chicks are robots and their attempt to take control of our dog…

That's the genius of it though, who carries a Voight-Kampff machine around with them?

That's not falling out, it's squab-bling
squab-bling
They mostly come out in the day light, and eat discarded kebab meat, or am I confusing seaguls with pidgeons?

Nah, they tried that but it turns out if you pay peanuts you get monkeys

Are monkeys real?
