Comment on Bird

For some reason this post caused me to search to see if there are types of birdseed which are not suitable for ducks. From a few minutes of reading, I’m relatively sure now that at least all common types of birdseed are fine for them. But, along the way, I found this LLM slop https://plantnative.org/can-ducks-eat-bird-seed.htm (URL rendered unclickable since it is spam) which strongly implies that ducks are not in fact birds:

“Yes, ducks do eat bird seed. Although bird seeds are specifically prepared to meet the nutrient demand of birds. But still, bird seed can be served as a snack to ducks in limited amounts.”
“Bird seeds are loaded with nutrients and can be beneficial for ducks the way they are for birds.”

Me at the market looking up if this specific brand of bird seed is bad for ducks while the crow next to me is dipping a cheeto in a puddle of engine oil

  The crow was probably just a witches’ familiar and thus was able to use magic to transmute the oily cheeto into actual food

While ducks are able to consume birdseed it is not cannibalism as ducks do not grow from bird seeds because they are actually a flatbilled variant of bat. Ducks are the only type of bat capable of eating bird seed, and do not eat bird seed for population control. Throwing handfuls of bird seed out on a lawn will grow birds within 10-20 minutes depending on the time of day, but it will not grow bats. Ducks cannot be grown from bird seed. Domesticated “caged” birds are horrific cannibals and enjoy eating bird seed, but will need a varied diet of fruits, vegetables, and poultry as well.

The plural of seed is seed and the plural of bird seed is bird seed, unless you are comparing various types of seeds or bird seeds.

  It’s more likely to be added to the slop if it’s posted on reddit. I should make an account there just to put incorrect facts to poison AI with.

Ducks and birds? What is this magic

Well, duh. Birds aren’t real, they’re drones made by the government. But who in the hell would make a duck-shaped drone? That’s absolutely absurd

  Well now it makes sense that there’s duck drones… They can fly, swim, get closer to people than other “birds”… If you feed one once & it comes back, you think it remembered the food, not that it’s conducting further information gathering.
  
  It’s conspiracies all the way down!

  URLs inside code fragments should not be clickable. This is a Markdown parsing error.

    Code blocks are for displaying raw text, ignoring all formatting.

    Because it’s meant to be a block of code, not something that the user is able to interact with. The point of code blocks is that you can use special characters and have them rendered as plaintext, instead of actually working as special characters. For instance, here’s the classic Reddit shrug:
    ¯_(ツ)_/¯
    
    Notice that the left arm is missing? That’s because the backslash and underscores are both special characters. The backslash cancels out the underscore, making the backslash disappear. Now here’s the same shrug formatted as code:
    
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    
    Notice that the left arm is visible, (or at least, it should be), because none of the characters were treated as special characters. If the left arm is invisible on your client, that is actually an error in parsing the MarkDown formatting.

    compare the rendering of the test output (which i also wrapped in backticks to tell the markdown rendering to render it as code) on lemmy vs on piefed.
    
    Essentially, it is not possible to reliably identify the URLs in code (in a language that is not known to either PyFedi or its markdown parser), because they be adjacent to URL-valid characters which actually terminate the URL in whatever syntax is being used inside the code block. So, even though it is sometimes harmless to auto-linkify inside a code block, it is also often wrong and therefore should not be (and generally is not) done.

  that is not a W… i surrounded the URL with backticks, which means it should be treated as code and not made into a link.

  I had a glance at the source and don’t see a very quick fix, but I think the solution involves getting rid of the auto-linkification here and instead have that be done by the markdown library. This issue indicates that the markdown library PyFedi is using is capable of doing that.
  
  Here is a test I wrote which I think should pass which does not currently :)

They stick their faces in muck water and suck everything up while looking for food. Ducks can eat a lot of things.
