Birds of a feather destroy flock together

The only good flock is a broken flock

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 35 points 3 weeks ago

A broken flock is always right

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 50 points 3 weeks ago

It’s rare to see the elusive Flock land on the ground like this. Truly an extraordinary experience.

I'm glad that someone was able to claim their pre-order copy of GTA 6 from one of these things.

Of course you found it that way, in one of only 2 acceptable states for one of those cameras to be in (the other being non-existence).

Purely a coincidence that it should end up like that.

Probably just the wind that caused it any ways.

Or perhaps a particularly heavy bird landing on it.

Legitimate salvage.

Abandoned property, or refuse.

Surveillance TO THE GROUND! I ain't part of your system, maaaaaan!

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

What you think I'm stupid? My dad's not a camera, duh!

[–] Nonprophet@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

Did you loot for Steel, Circuitry, Gears, and Oil?

[–] OakTree@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 weeks ago

Found my lawn furniture like this earlier. The wind is crazy today

Looks like she's functioning as she should.

It's dead, but don't touch it, you could still get MAGA Cooties.

They're going to switch to drones soon.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 21 points 3 weeks ago

and the world will switch to falconry

[–] OakTree@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I bet there’s even more gold and copper in those things

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Better than that, there's free drone parts in those things.
