I assumed it was trying to feast on the goo inside.

TIL golf balls are filled with nutritious goo

I assume the bird tries to break open the "eggs" it found. I know, boring explanation for an absolute funny video.

Ayup. These birds make the same movement with snakes and other animals to break all their bones.

Not eggs, but prey. They use this movement to break its bones and kill it.

It's a siriema if I'm not mistaken. There are a bunch of them in the country side of where I live (Brazilian Cerrado). They are absolutely fantastic animals

I assume the bird’s knowledge is inarticulate and all it knows is that it’s very satisfying to slam the ball on the concrete.

This is a bird called the Sereima, and what you are seeing isn't random behavior: it's how they hunt. They chase rodents and lizards down, grab them with their beaks, then slam their prey down onto rocks repeatedly until they stop moving.

Metal as hell.

Probably thought it was an egg

The bird:

"WHY THE HELL ARENT THESE EGGS BREAKING? WHAT MANNER OF BIRD LAID THESE ABOMINATIONS?"

Reucnalts ,

Didnt think about animals getting slamed on the ground. Smaller birds do this with fruita/nuts to break them

Witchcraft!!!

It's a fun idea, but the bird is trying to crack the golf balls to get to the juicy egg stuff inside.

I actually really like the plastic bag and bottle trick.

It's a lot of plastic. What if a canning jar was used instead? Then we just have to convince Packaging to switch to waxed paper bags or something.

Vodulas ,

It looks to be reusing a bread bag and an empty bottle, so those would have been trash. Reuse/repurposing is better than just throwing away.

lennivelkant ,

Reduce
Reuse <- You are here
Recycle

Not using it at all would be better, sure, but if you don't have that option for whatever reason, reusing it is the next best thing. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Vodulas ,

I think you may have meant to respond to the other person since this is pretty much what I said

lennivelkant ,

I was supporting your point. I forget that comments are seen as counterargument by default.

But you're right, my comment would have been more useful in reply to the other person.

Vodulas ,

Ah got ya. Since you were responding to my comment it seemed like you meant that I was letting perfect be the enemy of good.

lennivelkant ,

Me no word good 😄
Nah, you've got a point, my brain is just fried these days. I definitely need a vacation.

Vodulas ,

No worries, I 100% feel ya

You raise a great point about comments being seen as a counter by default. And if you try to give a disclaimer in your comment (like saying you agree) you still get downvoted for some reason. I'm very cautious about participating in any serious topics because of this, jokes, one-liners and sharing (unimportant) personal experiences are pretty much the only safe comments.

t3rmit3 , (edited )

Come on over to Beehaw, where we don't have downvotes, then!

It forces people to actually take time and effort to disagree with you, rather than just hitting one button, and somewhat unsurprisingly, that deters a lot of "drive-by" negativity.

Vodulas , to Do It Yourself in Things you can ruin to realize it didn't make sense to DIY

What's a jerk sock? Also, if you get use out of it, you arguably did not ruin it.

winkerjadams ,

A sock that you cum into..

Vodulas ,

The one in the picture is a nylon stocking, so that would be a poor choice...

winkerjadams ,

As is putting it on a vacuum. I was answering the question though

Vodulas ,

I wasn't trying to denigrate your comment. Just pointing out the use of "jerk sock" by OP was an odd choice

mugthol , to Do It Yourself in Things you can ruin to realize it didn't make sense to DIY

Most of these seem pretty reasonable to me. I guess I don't get this post.

KoalaUnknown , to aww in No, It's My Turn!

I wish most kittens were this easy to feed.

Axolotling , to Do It Yourself in Things you can ruin to realize it didn't make sense to DIY

Op, do you just hate fun? most of these are pretty cute or funny and just because they're not the most efficient design doesn't mean they're not allowed to exist?
