You gave me cancer and I’m rude? :(
Is it an important distinction or an opinion? If it’s an important distinction then maybe explaining that distinction would help?

To quote Dan Harmon:
If you ask a toaster, “What’s the most important thing in the world?” it’s going to tell you, “Bread.” And if you ask a toaster its opinion of bread, it’s going to tell you, "It’s not toasted enough. So let’s look at the television as an appliance. What’s it doing? It’s making you watch it. “Is your neighbor racist? Is it dangerous to go outside? Fuck yeah!” says the television, “Does your racist neighbor have bread?” says the toaster. “Bring it in here!” "And if you cant finish it, put it in me’ says the refrigerator. But the fucking television is the worst of all. It’s telling you, “Whatever you do, stay in your living room and it will tell you anything to make that happen.”
So now let’s look at the internet as an appliance…

- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 1 week ago:
I was going to study computer science. Instead I got a general AA and got a helpdesk job. Then A+ and a better job and a Net+ and an even better job and I’m not well off by any means but my family has a roof over our heads and food on the table and what’s more I am still employed and don’t have student loans so it’s looking more and more like that’s the right call and the best way to get into tech.

We paid for it, it should be nationalized. But they only ever socialize their losses, the profits are private.

The Berenstain Bears mandela effect definitely predates Harambe, and though I definitely remember the cornucopia I’m willing to admit there could be a valid explanation for that. But The Berenstain Bears… I will die on this hill. I was an extremely pedantic and detail oriented child who loved to read and only had so many books. I can vividly recall many nights spent secretly awake studying the covers of those books, tracing and reading and reading it, thinking they must be Jewish like me even though they act very Christian. There is not a doubt in my mind they were The Berenstein Bears. Most purported mandela effects are clearly just people misremembering, but I will die on Berenstein hill.

Wtf is this argument? Swinging things applies other forces besides your own power and speed, and since you brought up those two forces you must realize there’s a minimum of both that must be applied in order to swing an object properly and you’d also know full well as Newton’s third law of motion dictates that when said swinging object meets the object at rest that the sum of those forces will be exerted back onto the swinging object. Every choice made equals bird death. He didn’t flick it on the nose, he didn’t show it up slightly, he didn’t swing it into some software brush or a beach ball or an elastic fence, he swung it into a brick wall. A + B = C. Anything else is just conjecture on your end, made in some vain attempt to justify brutish thuggery just because the victim was an animal you don’t respect.
Try it yourself. Get about two feet of rope or something. Tie an egg to the end. See exactly how much speed and power you have to use to get it to properly swing. Then swing it into a brick wall and try not to break the egg. Make sure to film the attempt, I’d love to see it.

Because killing animals, especially over petty shit, and Especially especially in front of other while disregarding their reactions is psychopath shit. Your insurance that this is some kind of ‘Phy Op’ just makes you look like one, too.
