The guy who didn't know about Pygmy or Burrowing owls so just assumed Great Horned Owls were the default looks silly though. Remember he's not saying "actually the head and plumage fits a..." he's saying owls are big in response to "people forget about the tiny owl varieties."

I just think if it was intended to be an adult of a particularly small owl species pretending to be a child, they'd have given it a comically deep voice in the reveal at the end. You absolutely have to be seeing things that aren't there to take it as a message about what kinds of owls exist. These videos aren't complicated, they're about one fact each and that fact is spelled out in the title.

They do have a 6 foot wingspan, though.

Right, I agree that the creator spells out the fact that inspired any given cartoon in their video description, and this one was just about birds and capsaicin. Once again, that is not what spicey tofu took issue with. He took issue with 'owls aren't big' that's what makes him look dumb imo. Coolness Averted has a new favorite as of 23:55 on Nov 2, 2023 |

In small fairness, while owls aren't huge they're usually bigger than chipmunks and rabbits.

Owls do love to go trick or treating and rabbits are well known to be homeowners and have pepper spray on hand.

Air Skwirl posted:I mean, they probably are over proscribed. When Prozac got big in the 90s a coworker of my Mom (she was a newspaper reporter) did a story on a doctor who had like half of his patients taking it, and over the course interviewing the doctor he suggested to the reporter that she could probably use Prozac. But that absolutely doesn't mean they're useless. Sorry for the pedantry but you both mean "overprescribed" "Proscribed" means forbidden

No, I don't think that's a risk of AI. Reminds me of the teacher I had in 6th grade who didn't let us bring in headphones in case our computers at home had a virus and the headphones transferred that virus to the school computers (Apple Macintosh 128ks).
