  For anyone wondering, yes it is exactly that bird sound you are thinking of:

  If I were a filmmaker, I’d be so tempted to troll the ornithologists by putting in, say, a faint but distinctly recognisable kookaburra call in a scene in the Peloponnesian Wars or something. And add another layer of trolling by having the scene filmed somewhere where there are no kookaburras.

    Or just a guy sitting in a tree playing a flute.

      If feral Australian giggle chickens were as common worldwide as, say, feral lorikeets, you’d know about it.

  I’ll give you one Canadian dollar for each Loon call you can find in a film not set somewhere that Loonies are not endemic.

  They were bringing coconuts to England because the swallows weren't big enough to do so.

  Here’s the thing. You said the common loon is a North American bird…

    That situation is the most I’ve ever been involved in internet lore. My partner showed me a Reddit post of a jackdaw where the top comment was Unidan calling it a crow and I told her to correct him (in a friendly way) because jackdaws are one of my favourite birds and I want people to know what they are. This was only a few weeks before he had his meltdown over the subject.

    Kind of funny to know that it bothered him enough that he would implode his entire internet persona over it.

      He works at the container store now. What a weird career.

    Is it on the same planet? Yes. No one's arguing that.

    As someone who is a geologist who studies continents, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls common looms North American. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

    If you're saying "North America" you're referring to the tectonic grouping of the Americas, which includes things from North America to Central America to South America.

  Watch Deadpool vs Wolverine. The entire woods scene was so clearly filmed in a European woodland, it ruins the whole film.

    OP’s gonna crush when they learn they didn’t film Star Wars on Tatooine.

    • sepi@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      They did film on Tatooine. They couldn't film on Endor so they had to go to Romania. That's why everybody looks like that.

    I thought nostalgia-baiting ruined the whole film. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    There is no such thing as ‘a European’ woodland.

    • 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yeah there is, it’s in the growth patterns where you can tell the trees were either planted or allowed to grow in an arrangment that maximised yield, and historically but not recently regularly trimmed for wood and sticks without chopping them down.

      Asia and Africa (other than Japan, which did it with evergreen trees) historically used other materials (mainly grasses/palms), and in the Americas they used different construction methods both pre- and post-colonisation, so you don’t get (as many) old managed woodlands.

      Interesting video on the topic

  Alas, they’re the universal spooky bird. They show up in fucking Avengers Endgame.
