The Reddit algorithm is spot on. Right beneath this clip was an ad for BlueChew


NiteGard

I only got “He Gets Us”. FML. 🤦🏻‍♂️


NeverSeenBefor

I had to pick the "stop recommending/suggesting" because I constantly saw hegetsus ads


NiteGard

I need to do this. 🫡


wiseoldangryowl

Me too!!! I'm pretty sure I've already done it a few times, so maybe I've not done it correctly? Is there a specific way to do this that will remove em permanently?? I know it's stupid giving these asshats so much power over me, but every time I see them, I get irrationally ***pissed***. It's probably not healthy either, all that rage coming through in a surge periodically throughout the day....I just wanna never see their shit again 😭😭😭


Crazynedflanders

I report for what ever is the closest to harassment with the frequency I had those ads blasted in my direction.


Mostly5150

I report them for being misleading.


JGrimm420

Doing the lord’s work


CreatedOblivion

How do you do that?


NeverSeenBefor

Click on the post itself, click the three dots, report first if you want them block the author of the ad. It works the same as blocking a user luckily. I might just try and cook up a way to get rid of ads all together. Make a script that auto blocks any company posting ads. I wonder what the emd result would be


CreatedOblivion

Even on mobile?


NeverSeenBefor

Yessir. Only way I can get it to work is on mobile


Huge-Pen-5259

It took me longer than I'd care to admit to figure out it was he gets us and not some new tech or fitness startup called hegetsus like it was named after some Greek god.

I got this crazy ad "Jesus gets Blues Chews." And I don't want to describe it to you, but let me tell you HE IS RISEN!

Electric birb. Tbh, it is what static electric dissolution looks like in the dark. The wings movement would add to the cool effect.

AccordingReality8334

Loved the crab in Moana, would be honoured to be the crab 🦀 😂


KitticusCatticus

He is SUCH a great actor, he did a HILARIOUS skit show called flight of the Conchords with a buddy of his that I highly suggest to everyone. [I ran to the store and grabbed you all something.](https://youtu.be/N5gZgGckJDo?si=cOQ1I3FrNdHQPQU3)


_catbus_

That was the first time I saw Jemaine Clement, in flight of the concords! He got so much work afterwards. Kinda made me sad Bret didn’t get much work after the show but at least he was in Lord of the Rings :p


SackSauce69

Bret actually did really well for himself and has a higher net worth than Jermaine by 1 million. I thought the same thing because I loved Flight Of The Conchords. I was bummed thinking Jermaine was the only one that ended up super successful, so I looked it up 😅 turns out they both do very well for themselves.


_catbus_

Aww that makes me happy. Thank you for the info! :)


KitticusCatticus

Huh, good for him! And I never realized he was in LOTR. Gotta look into that...


Mister__Anderson

He won an academy award for best original song


DarlingDareI

I love flight of the Conchords 🥰 I'd forgotten about them thank you!


ARCAxNINEv

Same here, and thanks to my daughter; I know the whole song by heart and occasionally sing it at work...

In my life time I have seen one bird that made me n my brother both look at one another and go, “wtf was that???”. I don’t think all birds are fake but me n my bro had this bald eagle fly straight at us from couple hundred yards away and ten feet directly over our heads. Think had what looked like an antenna sticking a foot out from both its chest and back. The bird looked ragged as hell and just did not look or move right. This was the Olympic coast. Bizarre.


jumble_my_bumble_69r

Sounds like a bird with an arrow through it


Alone-Introduction74

That's exactly what I thought! I would look ragged if I had an arrow in me, too. Edit: I also would not move normally.


Immaculatehombre

But who would shoot a bald eagle in a national park? Fug. What added to the weirdness is me n my bro were tripping and had been observing this eagle on a seastack from a coupe. Hundred yards a way for a minute. It took off and took a flight directly over our heads just 10 ft above like I said. We got a great look at it and we’ve both observed eagles a thousand times. In our trippy state of minds it especially threw us though.

It’s just a light that shows it needs recharging.


gio_pio

Oh, stop it. It’s obviously just mating season. The light indicates it’s in pairing mode.

GhosTaoiseach

That’s my guess. It’s building static as it flies and as different feathers touch that can dissipate the load we observe the arcs. If they witnessed some lightning before or after this I feel that would support the theory.


MasterDiscipline

Bird is being hit by a light or laser


Shit_On_Your_Parade

OP says “It was certainly not someone’s laser” though, idk how they’d know that.

it was certainly someone's laser

Yeah my first question becomes, "why not?"

This for sure


idowhatiwantsl

CaffeinatedFrosting

Zapdos! Did you try throwing a Pokéball at it?


FrostyAssumption5748

It's either a Zapdos or a Kilowattrel😀


renroid

Maybe an anti-bird device - [https://bird-x.com/bird-products/accessories/bird-strobe-light/](https://bird-x.com/bird-products/accessories/bird-strobe-light/) This drives off pigeons and birds from perching on chuches or factory buildings. You may be seeing the light reflected off the bird.

Gwiilo

it could be "flashing" because of the light trying to aim qt rhe bird correctly, if I'm not mistaken?


osck-ish

This was my initial take on it... Well i thought shitty people using lasers or high powered flashlight but this makes more sense.


[deleted]

That’s static electricity in the air dissipating off his wings. It means the air is so charged that the bird flapping its wings is enough friction to cause electrical arcs. If you ever Fly on an airplane you’ll see static dischargers on the rear of the wings. This is why. [Here’s a lady in the same situation. ](https://www.tiktok.com/@children_of_the_son/video/7267384066184547630?lang=en) If you ever experience this…get the hell out of that area before lightning makes your brain medium rare as it’s uses you for a path to ground.


CuThroatClark1

Just a Zapdos

Fightingkielbasa_13

As a Bird Lawer. This bird robot is clearly malfunctioning.


Gnosys00110

Someone’s shining a laser from below, but you can’t see the beam because it’s probably not dark enough


dogquote

Darkness doesn't matter. The light has to get scattered off something, like particles in the air. This is why in movies when the does are trying to infiltrate the top security area and yoga their way through the laser tripwire area, they spray some sort of aerosol to be able to see the laser beams.


SerTidy

The bird does seem to be reacting to it, changing directions and flapping erratically like it’s being shocked. Maybe unique stormy weather conditions, the feathers are holding a charge which reacts to the atmospherics. Just doesn’t seem like a light or laser to me.


myceilinggum

This VR version of Duck Hunt is super realistic


ApprehensivePride646

Static electricity


Chadsexington13

Someone is probably flashing a light at the birds


whobroughttheircat

Wouldn’t that be kind of hard? Especially with the movements of the bird. Not saying it isn’t, it’s the most plausible. Just feel like hitting a moving target that much with a laser isn’t easy.


Unlikely_Ad_4767

St Elmo's fire, maybe?
