Shot through the heart! And you’re to blame!

Baby, you give lo-o-ove, a BAD name!

*a BIRD name!

Now I want a shirt with that pattern to really screw with people. Then again, where I live (the US) that's probably not a good idea.

I don’t know, it might be a good idea. If you’re involved in a “mass shooting event” you could just drop and play dead.

Doesn't always work.

I think in one shooting (NZ Christchurch?), the shooter made sure to get a headshot on every corpse to make sure they're dead.

Shit… that’s messed up. I mean the whole concept is, but that’s just extra.

You would just be, ahem,. painting a target (in blood).

Okay, I'll see myself out.

Easily the best dating sim ever made.

But why tho? Predators usually go after the weakest animal first.

[–] Bubs12@lemmy.cafe 8 points 3 months ago

You’re starting to make me think that “Lime @Not_Lime” made the whole thing up. What a scamp.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago

Many predators don't want to eat sick animals though.

Usually with birds the answer is sexual selection. As a group they seem to have a general preference for bright, colorful things.

Coaxed into a snafu

My withered heart still bleeding red and silent.
