How did the "owls are wise" meme get started? They are specialized silent night killers. They are literally viscous assassins.
The next time I see an item called "x of the owl" I expect it to have +agi or bonus stealth or damage.

Why are owls so CUTE?
Associated with Athena, a goddess of wisdom. Where the Greeks got it, maybe because their ragged faces looked like old philosphers.

Owls were associated with Athene, the goddess of Wisdom in ancient times. She was often depicted having owls perched upon her, and certain cultures believed an owl's screech was a death omen. For others they're closely associated with magic due to being creatures of the night, alongside scholars due to their "studious" nature when it comes to watching prey.

>>320970765
because they have excellent sight and can literally hear a mouse traipsing under the snow from a mile away, but it traces back to old european culture before antiquity, since the ancient Greeks made it a symbol of Athena, goddess of wisdom, so it would've already been an established meme by then
Something about Athene, god of wisdom

Black swans are literally the gayest bird. About 1/4 of males from homosexual couples, only mating with females to get her to lay eggs and then driving her off so the two males can raise them.

I like you OP, I would not have put this much thought into something so arbitrary. It's this kind of autism I appreciate. Thankyou
Owls are the bird equivalent of white men.
Common blackbirds are obviously niggers.

That's not really a fair comparison, crows are pretty ridiculously smart for birds.

Hail crow master raceOwls are cuter tho
>>320973125
ditto for ancient european lore, nice convergent memetic evolution there, then again most birds are good/bad/horrific/apocalyptic omens in virtually every culture that ever existed
i've always wondered how much this stuff has to do with leftover "memories" (or epigenetic instinctual imprints or whatever) from the times our distant ancestors were literally tree-dwelling rodents (and would've been the prey for birds and/or their ancestor dinosaurs) or if it's just how humans perceive an owl's screech
hide rodent threads
ignore rodent posts
do not reply to rodent posters

More games should feature playable birds/birdmen.
I have ornithophobia, how do I get rid of it?
