    While many are unaware of the cause of this behavior, it’s widely thorized that Ducks fly together

    Formally speaking, it is not trivially apparent that if one side of a V formation, then there are more birds on one side of a V. If this were true then it would imply that birds always fly with a precisely consistent spacing such that there are never more birds on the opposite side just flying closer together.

    So if the statement were true it would actually be a relatively novel observation, but I question the legitimacy of the claim.

    Anyways, I probably shouldn’t be formally analyzing a shitpost about bird formations cross posed to a meme community lol

    This is absolutely false. It’s because there are FEWER birds on the other side. I mean duh.

    Honestly… the state of education these days…

    This is a joke I remember my dad telling me when I was a kid. Love it.

    Is there a name for that type of joke? Why did the chicken cross the road? What did the farmer say when he couldn’t find his tractor? Etc.

        Man told me this joke at the beach a few years ago. It had been an ongoing thing between my partner and I whenever I would just say " Hey you so those birds" and she would just say “shut up.”

        Years of good chuckles from this one stupid joke. Although I do have to say timing is really missing on text format.
