Just did the same question. Answer given to me was vastly different:

How to clean a rescued pidgeon

ChatGPT:

Cleaning a rescued pigeon should be done carefully to avoid stressing or harming the bird. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:

1. Assess the Pigeon's Condition

  • Check for injuries: If the pigeon is injured, weak, or sick, it's best to seek veterinary help before attempting to clean it.
  • Observe behavior: If the pigeon is acting stressed or aggressive, you may need to wait until it calms down.

2. Prepare the Cleaning Area

  • Warm water: Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water, not hot or cold.
  • Mild soap: Use a gentle soap or baby shampoo without strong fragrances or chemicals.
  • Towels: Have clean towels ready for drying the pigeon afterward.

3. Handling the Pigeon Safely

  • Wear gloves: This can protect both you and the bird.
  • Secure hold: Hold the pigeon gently but firmly. Support its body with one hand and keep its wings close to its body to prevent flapping.

4. Cleaning the Pigeon

  • Partial cleaning: Focus on specific dirty areas rather than submerging the whole bird if possible.
  • Use a damp cloth: For lightly soiled areas, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the feathers gently.
  • Bath for heavier dirt: If a full wash is needed, place the pigeon in the water up to its chest. Avoid getting its head and neck wet unless absolutely necessary.

5. Rinsing

  • Rinse thoroughly: If you used soap, make sure to rinse all of it out of the feathers using clean, lukewarm water.
  • Avoid the face: Be careful not to get water in the pigeon’s eyes, nose, or ears.

6. Drying the Pigeon

  • Pat dry: Gently pat the pigeon with a towel to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing as it could damage the feathers.
  • Warm place: Keep the pigeon in a warm, draft-free area until it is completely dry. You can use a hairdryer on the lowest setting if the pigeon tolerates it, but keep it at a safe distance to avoid overheating.

7. Post-Cleaning Care

  • Observe behavior: Watch the pigeon for signs of stress or discomfort after the bath.
  • Provide food and water: Ensure the pigeon has access to fresh water and a safe, comfortable place to rest.

Additional Tips

  • Do not use strong disinfectants or chemicals that can harm the bird's sensitive skin and feathers.
  • Limit baths to when absolutely necessary, as frequent cleaning can strip the natural oils from the pigeon's feathers.

If the pigeon seems injured or unwell, contact a wildlife rescue center or avian veterinarian for guidance.

Yep, it works the other way around. Even legs uneven floor.

I like the meme.

I just wish they would merge the "truly infinite worlds" branch. The horizontal limits are to tight for this kind of game.

Do you know for a four legs table no matter the floor it sits on. There is always a rotational position where all it's legs touch ground at the same level.

For circular tables that are uneven you can just rotate the table until it sits right.

For square tables you may check the 90° angles to see if you are lucky.

Edit: This theory works with even legs + uneven (bumpy) floors. For your own safety do not test this the other way around.

They do not state the methodology used (paywalled is the same as not existent to me).

So probably it's just not true.

My poor european mind cannot understand the industrial bottle of 1000 ibuprofen tablets for a household.

Here they sell you packs of 20 tablets or something like that.

Maybe that's not bad for firefox.

Maybe less money means less ridiculous side projects and just focus on delivering a good browser.

Algo the lack of google as financial support means they'll rely more on donations, which would mean that they really need to focus on offering a good browser.

I'll gladly donate to firefox if I would see they are really focusing on it.

To be fair, Reddit is no longer that good of a source for answers in the later years.

Quality drop in comments is insane. Sometimes it looks like Quora.

So the problem isn't the technology. The problem is unethical big corporations.

We live in a system that actively prevents humans to get more knowledge, go figure.

Hot take: Sports are not that important, and it's not the end of the world if someone in the other team is "physically better" than you.

Sports should be just played for fun and for making exercise, not as a profession. And the whole sports industry should be taken down all together. Make all sports amateur and just for the fun of it and suddenly it really doesn't mather who is on your team or in the other team.
