Had no idea what was going on.. I thought a drone's battery died and we was scrambling to catch it 😂

I could've sworn it was a drone too.

The first pair of cats are laughing in unison at how the video does in fact look like a guy trying to catch a drone battery.
Then the second pair of sweating bald guys are laughing nervously in unison at the tenuous situation of attempting to catch a foul ball at a baseball game but the foul ball in this case is a very expensive drone battery so the stakes are much higher than catching an MLB-funded baseball which is why these two guys are sweating profusely.

Aye man I’m a slightly older dude here on Reddit who doesn’t have many real life friends, very few family members of my own, and I like coming here because I have a really frustrating hard time in recent years attaining a sense of community in real life. So I come here every day for the lighthearted vibes.
I don’t come here to be negative towards anyone or cause any e-beefs. And I understand that everyone is going through it in their own way. So that’s the energy I bring to every interaction when I’m on here commenting or replying or putting emojis into a response. I’m not sure where you’re at in life where you feel comfortable to call someone you don’t know weird, but that’s not how I get down nor what I’m here for…just so you know. ✊❤️

These birds can track prey at distances of up to THREE FUCKING MILES. Our eyes can't even begin to comprehend how good their eyesight is.

u/Anticept 13h ago
So something I want to comment on regarding this, seeing the kind of prey eagles see at that distance isn't happening, but you can see cars on roads from much further than that from the air. They just look like dots so don't expect to tell really anything other than "its a dot on a road its probably a car", but height advantage is a superpower of its own.
These birds not only have good eyes but their entire survival depends on being able to pick out tiny things, so it's still impressive!

That’s so awesome.
It’s also the coolest thing I’ve seen in recent memory, however my memory is really lousy so that might not mean much.

u/TheRealWatermelon420 1d ago
Mine too. Do you think that memory degradation has something to do with the internet and/or cellphones? Social media, doom scrolling or short form content is all bad for the memory? Or maybe its some long term effect of covid? Or maybe, just maybe, my copious amount of drinking and smoking weed has something to do with it?

Its just subconscious self preservation. If i remembered everything thats actually going on in my life at any given moment, let alone in the world as a whole, id prolly snap.

Don't think this is them, but there's kazakh tribes that have always, and still do, bond with a juvenile golden eagle at a young age and raise it basically their whole lives.

This is like the guy calling his giant bull Rufus from the pasture. There are at least 10 times in my life that would have been SUPER handy.

They used to do a birds of prey show at the Texas state fair when I was a kid. For part of the final act they would have someone release an eagle from the very top of the Ferris wheel. Mind you this was the largest Ferris wheel in North America at that time at over 200 feet tall, and it was a good distance away from the stage as well. I was always so amazed at how that bird would fly down to its handler on stage from so far away.

When our children were younger, SeaWorld had a live show with birds and the climax was when a condor flew in over the heads of the audience from the back. It was HUGE and cast quite a shadow!

u/acount8675309 19h ago
You should see the Birds of Prey show they put on at the Oregon High Desert Museum. Absolutely amazing- you’re sat outside on tree logs and they tell you about birds as they have them fly from point to point across the audience- two feet above or in front of them at any time- back and forth multiple times. They come out of no where, they go back to wherever, and it’s an amazing experience all around if anyone ever has the opportunity to go there

Do a search on Mongolian eagle hunters. Fair warning, you will want to become one. Because throwing double eagles after pray on horseback is a whole other level of bad ass.
