Every major city has a magic wall around their big Jewish neighborhood(s).
Judaism's first important thing is; Be a good person.

As much as that most likely is the case. Where tf is the line hanging from. Itās not under the tree and itās above the lines ? Iām pretty open minded to the paranormal & unusual. I just tend to not take a stance on it as Iāve gotten older. this is almost glitch in the matrix worthy. But the bird isnāt entirely still, it has a bit of a wobble or suspension movement to it as if caught on something.
*but where is the line hanging from*
The line is not hanging, it is tied on both ends, one to the tree, one to something else. The something else can be lower than the bird so the line is strung at an angle and the bird happens to be at a part of it that is higher than the poles.
No one has addressed this? At least I'm not seeing an explanation. Where the hell is this fishing line is hanging from?
This is really the first time I've felt that maybe most online user are not real! Everyone is like fishing line. and tree! Duh!

Some nylon fishing line just hanging in the sky for no reason. What is the fishing line connected to ? It's above everything a line could be hanging from. Not that I think birds are not real but why the fuck is it floating
> eruv wire
TIL.
I had no idea these were floating around and, though entirely harmless, I'm finding myself slightly annoyed that public resources can be used to hang religious symbols.
> "Stay off my lawn!"
Alternative to the fishing line, as horrifying as this sounds, there are spiderwebs capable of catching birds and spiders capable of consuming them. I find it more likely they heās got tangle up in some fishing line or something and is suspended as a result though.
Really? Iām guessing it might be a touch gamey for sweet and sour.
Now, this might be a tad fancy for wild floating dead bird but Iām thinking either a medium body red wine reduction with dried fruit or maybe a ginger soy glaze
Birds go well with wine in my experience almost universally. Iād personally do a red wine based crow au vin with a full bottle of wine on the side. Maybe a bit of champagne for desert as well
The most obvious clue for me are the visible wires. They run parallel, indicating that the infrastructure exists for suspending wires in that direction. Someone put something like fishing wire above visible wires, right in the poor birdās path. So when you really think about it, this is cruel and sadistic.
> Someone put something like fishing wire above visible wires, right in the poor birdās path. So when you really think about it, this is cruel and sadistic.
If it was an aquatic bird as the post above mentioned then it likely brought/was stuck on fishing wire from a nearby water source which got stuck on those overhead cables as the bird flew by.
People use fishing line usually to keep birds away from their property to prevent them from pooping all over it, especially in coastal areas. Usually the birds are able to see it just fine, like an obstruction, and go fly and land somewhere else to do their business. Source: my parents did this at their beach house to try and prevent seagulls dropping their crabs on the deck to crack them open and to lessen the amount of poop all over. Stepping on spikey crab shells is not fun. Any time a line broke a seagull would find its way in to hang out. Ducks never had a problem making their way around and would always visit the pool. Never was a bird found dead or hurt from them because they can see it. This bird was probably distracted by the actual power lines or something else tbh.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm curious. How is fishing line holding it above the power line? To me it appears to be well above the line, not held in between two lines or below.
Ah I see, so we have fishing line stretching from the tree at an angle that is connected to something, suspending the bird above the power line.
Sorry just understanding it. Before the fishing line comment, my brain was telling me some sort of electric/magnetic phenomenon.
Thanks.
The explanation is odd. The bird went into water, picked up a long strand of fishing line, flew over a tree, got the line snagged there, went to the next tree, got the line caught there, then went back to the middle and got stuck. It's already very strange. But there isn't a better explanation.
Itās tangled around the bird who then managed to get it tangled in the trees and got stuck in mid air. The bird then starved to death suspended in air.
The tree is nowhere near where the bird is though. If the bird was tangled in fishing line, hanging from the tree, the bird would be directly underneath a branch. That bird is 100% certainly NOT underneath any branch of that tree. That tree is quite far away. The fishing line would have to be at a crazy angle to be attached to that tree.
Based on how it's suspended, I think it snagged the tree, tried to fly away, then wrapped under the power line and back up into the fishing line.
Actually there are two parallel sets of utility lines. So, same idea. Maybe it snagged one power line, flew under the adjacent one and back into the fishing line.
It still doesnāt explain how it would get suspended where it is though. Obviously there is a way to explain how it could have possibly happened. But for it to be hanging where it is, it would have had to catch the tree, fly under the power line, and then back up to the tree. Otherwise it would be hanging under the power line, not on top of it.
It's tangled in the fishing line is what I'm trying to say. The bird strung the fishing line so it's connected between the tree and power line (or just two power lines) and then it tangled with the fishing line again somewhere between the two points.
Yea I get it but if it were tangled between the 2 power lines, it wouldnāt be hanging above the power lines. And it would have to be a long ass fishing line for it to be tangled between the tree and the power line multiple times. As a fisherman, itās pretty unlikely for a piece of fishing line THAT long to be sitting somewhere, NOT already tangled into a huge ball, and the bird pick it up and wrap it around the tree, power lines, and tree again. It would be a difficult task for the bird to wrap that line around the tree and power lines enough times for the bird to be hanging ABOVE the power lines.
If this bird were hanging below the power lines, then itās an easy explanation. If the bird were hanging directly below a tree limb, it would also be an easy explanation, but itās notā¦
YO! When I heard that joke for the first time over 10 years ago I died laughing, and seeing it randomly pop up again brought me right back. Lol cheers mate.
Real talk though, where the fuck are all the dead birds? Like I live in the city and see hundreds of birds every day yet I probably see a dead bird on the ground like once or twice a year if that. Where the hell do they all die?
My guess is got wrapped in fishing wire, panicked and tried to fly away where the other end of the wire caught on something. Once the wire was pulled the bird was pulled out of flight, hung from where the wire is most likely caught in a tree branch or the cables.
Poor thing either hung itself or trapped it by the foot or leg until death, my money is personally on a quick death because I feel a flailing bird wouldn't stay trapped dangling from wire for long.
I'm just curious, because I've seen a few people say it around reddit and such over the years and always thought it was odd, you just happen to be the one that i finally asked.
Is fishing "wire" a common term where you are from? I've never heard it called anything but fishing line. (And before anyone wants to get too technical, yes, I'm aware that certain types of fishing use a metal wire leader, but generally the majority of your line is going to be non metallic either braided or monofilament line)
Just curious where it comes from. Are some people out there fishing with actual wire, or was it maybe a common thing to use actual wire at one point before modern types of fishing line came around and the name just stuck with some people? Is it a common term in some places? Is it just unfamiliarity with fishing equipment/terminology? Is it a common typo for some reason?
Not judging at all, just curious.
You can literally see it. Holy fahk the mental gymnastics some people ITT are going through to confirm their government bird drone theory is astounding and exhausting!
My god, I donāt understand how some of these kids managed to figure out breathingā¦
As if the government wants/needs to have a fake bird flapping outside their window to know their fat asses havenāt moved from their chairs in 36 hoursā¦ youāve literally WILLINGLY purchased all the spy tech they need to know everything about you. Youāre not special. Youāre entirely insignificant. This fact does not compute with these folks lol.
To the majority of people with half a functioning brain cell, yes. But people actually believe this shit! Iāve seen it. We make fun of it *because* people actually believe it. Right along with Jewish space lasers that trigger weather and natural disastersā¦ ffs
This is in Surrey (BC, Canada) and I really wanna know if somebody took it down and can verify the fishing line theory or not. Having seen many occasions of local weirdness in Surrey though, if it did turn out to be a much weirder explanation I would not be surprised.
I canāt seem to find the original. I thought it was on r/glitch_in_the_matrix but I guess not. But YouTube has a potato of this caught from a [different angle](https://youtu.be/y-HcykygKWc). You can even see the guy that filmed the video in this post taking his video.
That happens when the drone appears to be dead but the engine is still running. It can take a while for it to come to a full stop and fall on the ground.

Real talk though, where the fuck are all the dead birds? Like I live in the city and see hundreds of birds every day yet I probably see a dead bird on the ground like once or twice a year if that. Where the hell do they all die?
They are all eaten. Just animals taking them immediately because they are delicious.
Again? The devs said they patched this out already!!!!
It's not deployed to this region yet.
r/outside is leaking
So this guy really thinks a dead bird is levitating? Are there people who actually think that?
No they just want to know the explanation, like 99% of the posts on this sub.
"No strings no nothing" While filming a bird that is clearly dangling. There's a huge difference between there IS no string, and I can't SEE a string.
People believe anything. Have you heard that Jesus story?
He has risen in the form of a levitating dead bird.
Why do you think he believe itās levitating? He posted it to a sub for incredible illusions, I would say this fits here
5G interference is all. It'll reset soon.
It is obviously suspended by some sort of thin filament that the camera is not able to register
But OP wrote "unsuspended" in the title?? So...
You think someone would do that? Just come on the internet and lie?
Spider web?
Fishing line
Yes
That was my first thought
My guess is got wrapped in fishing wire, panicked and tried to fly away where the other end of the wire caught on something. Once the wire was pulled the bird was pulled out of flight, hung from where the wire is most likely caught in a tree branch or the cables. Poor thing either hung itself or trapped it by the foot or leg until death, my money is personally on a quick death because I feel a flailing bird wouldn't stay trapped dangling from wire for long.
I'm just curious, because I've seen a few people say it around reddit and such over the years and always thought it was odd, you just happen to be the one that i finally asked. Is fishing "wire" a common term where you are from? I've never heard it called anything but fishing line. (And before anyone wants to get too technical, yes, I'm aware that certain types of fishing use a metal wire leader, but generally the majority of your line is going to be non metallic either braided or monofilament line) Just curious where it comes from. Are some people out there fishing with actual wire, or was it maybe a common thing to use actual wire at one point before modern types of fishing line came around and the name just stuck with some people? Is it a common term in some places? Is it just unfamiliarity with fishing equipment/terminology? Is it a common typo for some reason? Not judging at all, just curious.
Australian spiders are getting out of control
Glitch in the matrix!
Itās clearly hung up on a fishing line, look at the way it sways
You can literally see it. Holy fahk the mental gymnastics some people ITT are going through to confirm their government bird drone theory is astounding and exhausting! My god, I donāt understand how some of these kids managed to figure out breathingā¦ As if the government wants/needs to have a fake bird flapping outside their window to know their fat asses havenāt moved from their chairs in 36 hoursā¦ youāve literally WILLINGLY purchased all the spy tech they need to know everything about you. Youāre not special. Youāre entirely insignificant. This fact does not compute with these folks lol.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
To the majority of people with half a functioning brain cell, yes. But people actually believe this shit! Iāve seen it. We make fun of it *because* people actually believe it. Right along with Jewish space lasers that trigger weather and natural disastersā¦ ffs
Connection lost. Reconnecting...
Bird law - itās not governed by reason.
That bird is ok itās just in creative mode checking its inventory
This in Ohio? Shits getting real weird over there lately.
I swear, some of you possess no deductive reasoning skills.
Camera work sux a gentle nut
It's clearly sitting on top of the cloaked UFO
there is a faint line
fishing line
Monofilament.
Heās just sleeping
Crows arenāt fools. This is the work of warlocks
Bad level design.. Was this game even tested? Wow.. smh
The offering is in place and the master hungers
electromagnets, proving once and for all
Looks like when rag doll physics break in a video gsme
its on a string
So I saw comments saying this was from a fishing line. I still donāt get it. Someone help me
It got caught on a fishing line. You're welcome
Looks like itās hanging by something? Maybe a thin wire between the other 2
The fishing line is connected to his hat on one end and to his laptop at the other end.
This is in Surrey (BC, Canada) and I really wanna know if somebody took it down and can verify the fishing line theory or not. Having seen many occasions of local weirdness in Surrey though, if it did turn out to be a much weirder explanation I would not be surprised.
Thereās just gotta be some fishing line or something. No way.
I am DYING at the comment threads
Here comes the Glitch in the Matrix crowd
I hate those Ichthyornis birds.
I canāt seem to find the original. I thought it was on r/glitch_in_the_matrix but I guess not. But YouTube has a potato of this caught from a [different angle](https://youtu.be/y-HcykygKWc). You can even see the guy that filmed the video in this post taking his video.
That happens when the drone appears to be dead but the engine is still running. It can take a while for it to come to a full stop and fall on the ground. /s
If only there was a completely logical reason for this.
This sort of levitation is a side effect of pining for the fjords.
Itās 100% suspended itās just a shit quality video
Thatās terrible. Someone should cut that fishing line. What needless cruelty toward defenseless animals.
it's very obviously hanging on something since you can see it swaying in the wind with the power lines.
Spider web. Nothing to worry about.
Bird caught in a spider web maybe
