Syulang<p>Bar Tailed Godwit called "234684" by humans is one of the worlds most notrious private binge flyers. At 5 months old, they racked up a non-stop 11 days straight binge private flight from <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a> to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Tasmania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tasmania</span></a> recording 13,560km worth of frequent flier points. </p><p>A bird weighing about 500 grams that can neither swim nor glide, relying on constant beating of their wings to stay aloft, can fly almost twice as far as the original jumbo jet, and consumes a few hundred grams of fat to do so.</p><p>They also have specially adapted eyes that literally allow them to see the magnetic field of the Earth to guide them, as well as using celestial navigation by the stars at night.</p><p>Frikkin binge-flying bird-brains.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/BingeFlying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BingeFlying</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>birds</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongHaul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LongHaul</span></a></p>
Syulang<p>If you think the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cybertruck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cybertruck</span></a> is a dystopian 80s retro-futurist dumpster fire, just wait until you see <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Starlink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Starlink</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpaceX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpaceX</span></a> bring back the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OzoneHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OzoneHole</span></a> </p><p>People who actually work on atmospheric sciences and do this stuff for a living have been warning about the ecological cluster of ducks posed by the risk of exponentially increasing amounts of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpaceJunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpaceJunk</span></a> for a while now. It's good to see it getting mainstream attention.
