That situation is the most I’ve ever been involved in internet lore. My partner showed me a Reddit post of a jackdaw where the top comment was Unidan calling it a crow (pretending to be an authority on it as he usually did) and I told her to correct him (in a friendly way) because jackdaws are one of my favourite birds and I want people to know what they are. This was only a few weeks before he had his meltdown over the subject.
Kind of funny to know that it bothered him enough that he would implode his entire internet persona over it.
I might be misremembering 11 years ago, but why did an SRD post apparently think this guy was banned by “the jews?” That seems a bit extreme even for 2014 reddit, especially in a relatively mainstream sub like SRD?
Is it on the same planet? Yes. No one’s arguing that.
As someone who is a geologist who studies continents, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls common loons North American. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.
If you’re saying “North America” you’re referring to the tectonic grouping of the Americas, which includes things from North America to Central America to South America.
Here’s the thing. You said the common loon is a North American bird…

He works at the container store now. What a weird career.
Wow what an interesting read that was!
