Completely true, mainly used to give my submissions a small boost (I had five "vote alts") when things were in the new list, or to vote on stuff when I guess I got too hot-headed. It was a really stupid move on my part, and I feel pretty bad about it, especially because it's entirely unnecessary.

Completely understandable catch on the side of the admins, so good work for them! I've already deleted the accounts and I won't be doing that again, obviously.

I always knew I'd go down in a hail of crows, but who knew it'd be on the internet?

    Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."

    Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.

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

    If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.

    So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.

    Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.

    It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

        Updated for 2020 Reddit it would be something like:

        "Here's the thing snowflake, you said a black person is a human, when actually..."

      Did you mean to reply to the jackdaw copypasta, or is the post itself a joke?

      EDIT: Looked up the story of Unidan, now I get it

      I have alt accounts that I use to get round subreddit bans after I pissed off enough mods, but I can't keep track of which accounts are allowed on which subs. It's kinda exhausting.
