Owl people are real. This is confirmation. We once shared the world with bird people.

Not only kids. I would have to look for the papers, but there are enough behavioural studies on how people react when given alcohol. Many people start acting drunk when told that there is alcohol in their drinks, regardless of that being true. At the same time they do not act as obnoxiously drunk when given alcohol without their knowledge. The typical slurring of speech, loss of coordination and associated physical effects come into effect, but the behavioral changes are weaker. Up to the point where they realize they are drunk.

This together with the studies of drunken behavior across the globe has lead some researchers to posit the hypothesis that the behavior while drunk is more of a cultural effect, based on how the culture expects people to act while drunk.

Solange es nur mutmaßliche Aktivisten sind könnte es ja auch nur ein Jugendstreich sein. Dann muss man sich keine Gedanken über evtl. politische Aussagen hinter der Aktion machen.

Even if ut is a composite, that does not mean it is not a real photo.

If I take 5 pictures of a landscape each with a bit of overlap with the last and then make one big panorama out of it it is a composite, still makes this a real photo. And if we want to go into the details of digital photography every digital photo is a composite of a red, a green and a blue picture. So the only real photos would be film based.

But there is the possibility of people and the sun outside. How can one have fun outside when one risks to encounter people and getting bombarded with high energy death rays.

Edit:

While this is factually true and I completely agree with the sentiment behind it, I never liked how trauma changing your brain is presented as something extraordinary. Every experience changes the brain; learning, healing, trauma, physical and chemical input in the form of injury and drugs/medicine, even plain day to day living. After all that's what the brain does.

And here I am, expecting to see some snack food.

The OP said "get airborne". Controlled flight was not part of the discussion.

I am very certain that most animals can get airborne, even for prolonged periods of time,when reaching high enough speed. The trick lies in accelerating them to sufficient speed. Safe landing and deceleration can also pose a problem.

That can be arranged.

For a fee of course...
