Are you sure it was a pigeon and not a grey balloon?

edit: how much do you weigh?

I'm 5'11" and 160 lbs. I was probably about that then too.

Do you live in a terrorscape populated by sentient rock pigeons? Has all avian life on your planet been replaced by super-dense simulacra? Why do you think it would take a lot of weight or pressure to crush an animal with hollow bones whose only defense is that it is small and light enough to fly? Have you ever actually touched another living thing, or is everything to you an endless chain of internet images whose pixels you inspect one by one to see if it is full of lies?

Why is this mundane story such a conspiracy theory? It neither improves my standing nor brings me profit. The only pseudo-proof I could find in a bemused 5 minutes of searching was a tweet I made I 2011 that said "almost stepped on another pigeon" because of course I told me friends, it's insane.

But what if the Great Pigeon Hoax is a long con I've been working on for half a decade? What if I was caught days before I released my limited-edition PEGON SMUSH stomping boots that weigh 400 goddamn pounds because everyone knows that pigeons are really just neutron stars with feathers on?

I understand that skepticism is a healthy thing, especially on the largely anonymous and unsourced internet, but you all are bonkers.

In my college level human bio class we were discussing how meat is muscle (specifically the difference between fast and slow twitch muscle fibers and light and dark meat) and a lady in her late 30s said "I actually didnt know that meat was muscle.

Just saying, most people have the ability to stop stepping and pull their foot back up if you feel you're about to accidentally crush an entire animals. And again, pigeons are big, it's like accidentally stepping on a rabbit

Like all proper Irish children I was sent to a Catholic school. One day in 6th class (the last year of primary school) the Ard Mháistir sent all the girls out to another class with one of the senior female teachers. All the lads and him watched some tapes about sex and he told us there'd be no questions, the girls learned about tampons and rockets or something. No homework that day, it was great.

Not knowing that meat from animals is muscle is a whole other level than not realizing meat comes from animals in the first place.

An Off-The-Wall Purchase
BOOKSTORE | CA, USA | BOOKS & READING, MUSICAL MAYHEM
(I am a musician and an avid fan of rock and folk music, so I’m a little bit of a walking encyclopedia. One customer comes up with a Led Zeppelin book for thirty-five dollars, and we make small talk as I ring him up.)

Me: “So what’s your favorite Zeppelin album?”

Customer: “Oh, it’s my friend who’s the fan, not me. I just wanted to get him a gift.”

Me: “That’s awfully nice of you.”

Customer: “Yeah, he went to The Wall concert and loved it. I heard it was fantastic.”

(A light bulb goes off in my head.)

Me: “Wait…The Wall?”

Customer: “Erm… yes.”

Me: “That’s not Led Zeppelin, sir. That album’s actually Pink Floyd.”

Customer: “Oh… OH. Oh, dear! I got the wrong book!”

Me: *laughing* “No worries, sir! You just happen to be talking to a big fan of Floyd. Here, let me show you a better book.”

(I not only find the customer a book about ‘Pink Floyd’ for the same price as the ‘Led Zeppelin’ book, but I also convince him to get the newest ‘Rolling Stones’ collectible magazine specifically about the band. After I process the return and ring him up…)

Customer: “Good thing you happened to be working, my dear! Imagine me walking out with a book for my friend about the wrong band!”

Me: “It’s my pleasure as both a bookseller and a Floydian. Shine on, and have a good day!”

God drat it, I actually really like Pink Floyd and am enraged by that stupid story. I refuse to believe Floydian is in common usage.

And how would someone manage to listen to someone yammer on all the time about how great a specific concert was and never catch the name of the band anyway?

Yeah it totally takes "a musician, avid fan and walking encyclopedia" to spot that The Wall is by Pink Floyd, and not just a regular bookstore employee.

And of course god forbid someone be a fan of more than one band at a time: just imagine the chaos that would ensure if someone liked both Pink floyd and The Who! Nevermind the possibility that the friend could have misremembered the conversation and in fact the fan had gone to a Grateful Dead concert.

What a stupid pointless thing to make up.

Also the last time there was a The Wall concert in America it was in 2012, where it was performed by Roger Walters. Unless you go back to 1980 when it was last performed by the actual band. That Rolling Stone edition does exist, but that came out in 2013 so yeah it's a ludicrous story.

Floydian is an actual term that goes back a fair bit, but it isn't not akin to "whovian" it's simply a term that's been used to describe music that's like Pink Floyd. Even a casual google of "I'm a floydian" doesn't bring up anything, no one really uses that term to describe themselves as a fan - or if they do it appears to be a recent adaption of the term.
