A new drone shaped like a bird. Chinese developers have shown a new drone made in the shape of a bird.
Such an invention can turn the drone industry upside down.
The drone is able to fly with the help of wing flapping like a real bird and looks the same.
“Birds aren’t real” conspiracy theory coming true.
Maybe that was the misunderstanding. Is was never a conspiracy. It was a prophecy.
Birds? You mean drones? Birds aren’t real.
Which is why they are slowly admitting they were drones with stuff like this. “Oh look, we made a drone in the shape of a bird!”. Even though it was a drone all along /s
r/BirdsArentReal must be going nuts over this.
I bet there going “Guys, real bird is spotted in china, where we wrong?”
But i dislike Reddit to much to go check
Is there like a law of the Internet that says even the dumbest conspiracy theories will eventually come true? If so I want to know the name given how it keeps happening.
Mind control will eventually happen.
I don’t mean like propaganda, that always existed, I mean like actually controlling someone.
You don’t need to feae betrayal if they have a specific program in the brain that will only obey your commands
Any one who tries to make accusations of a person being mind controlled or accusing the government of attemping to mind controlled them will be declared “mentally ill” then detained and be forcibly “treated”, whete in fact, they were being locked up in some lab the mind control technology is used on their brain.
Free-will* would be over. Humanity would be over.
Free-will as in “the brain can make decisions”, not as in “free will vs determinism”.
Soon enough the Earth could turn out flat…
you should tell these guys to add it to their list archive.org/stream/…/RulesOfTheInternet..txt
@Grandwolf319 @Interesting_news Where are the lizard people
Why not just use birds? Birds fly for free.
They poop on heads though, which is negative points for me.
Could turn the drone industry upside down
And this would be bad, because now they are just flying into the ground.
Or it could be great like that flying drilling machine from the game called Motherload!
There have been non-drone flapping bird toys for decades(?) Maybe longer? At least since 1969.
RIP all birds
Birds aren’t real
Didn’t MIT other another Institute created one a few years ago?
Hard to believe that it would have taken till this day for someone to do this, given that birds are the obvious example of flight.
OP isn’t even new. This is a special forces video that is 1-2 years old. It’s hard to make them land “gracefully”.
Given the number of civillian owned guns in America, birds in the US will soon be extinct.
So many ballistic trajectories, so much falling lead.
So… just another Fourth of July celebration?
But instead, it’s 365/366 day of the year, every year?
This is great news! For the firearms industry, that is. 👀
I KNEW BIRDS WERENT REAL
Oh well, gonna go hunting.
Either I’m right and I shot a spy drone, or PETA is gonna hunt me down.
aren’t there already a pigeon, hawk, bat, and bug wing drone?
yes
These are more realistic. I hear they can form a flock and shit all over you. Scary stuff!
I like how the article starts with China making bird drones and ends with American gun drones. The most American drone.
And the chainsaw drone, the bomb drone, the control drone…
Ornithopters have been around for over 100 years. It’s not really breaking now ground.
I had a toy like this over 40 years ago. Of course I just wound it up and let it go but it flew well.
Pfft. Everyone knows they already make these. Where do you think “birds” come from, anyway? Nature? smh.
This is not new at all. Probably 5+ years old
This is ages old

Not exactly bird like like these other ones though…

It also seems to have fewer purposes. If you are trying to get footage or even just a picture it seems like a normal drone is much easier. Takeoff, landing, hovering seem to be weighted to the quad copter design.

These would have fantastical scouting capabilities. Pretty alright at being undercover as long as the target isnt looking for them. You could easily storm a few places unexpectedly with a little bit of explosives and these. This is that shit the Wizard and the evil chick were drooling over in Wicked.

The one thing it has going for it is covert surveillance.

This might be much more efficient
