Hate to be that guy, but PNG is a lossless format… Not sure bird based storage is lossless lol
Local mocking birds still sing that car alarm that hasn’t been popular in at least a decade. They love it and they’re the only ones
They should have credited Benn Jordan, aka The Flashbulb, as the one who came up with this idea. Link to the video:

Love his channel - he really does just spend months at a time following some ridiculous audio-based whim and he puts so much effort into it.
I love unhinged data storage methods. My favorite is storing data in internet server pings to australia: Harder Drive
A close runner up goes to Can you store a Pokemon silver save INSIDE of Pokemon Emerald? Adef made his own video on it in I Turned Pokemon Emerald into a Flash Drive
Anyone have more? This is like my favorite genre of internet nonsense
I liked this one a lot
There was this perdon who encoded their data in video and uploaded it to YouTube.
What if all songbirds today are just singing encoded messages from a long dead civilization, passed down through generations of birds, and we just haven’t realised it yet
*hits bong*
But the reason there is nothing obvious on the spectrogram is because it’s compressed data
Can save a ZIP-bomb to a bird?
What’s that weird symbol combination that kills iPhones if you text them to someone? I have a bird.
I literally just finished watching the video and open Lemmy to find this as the first post. That’s kinda crazy. It’s a great video. Just in case it hasn’t been posted yet here it is
I love this dude’s work. He’s so chaotic, and it makes me happy to see someone thriving by leaning in their ADHD
You know he makes music? It’s The Flashbulb :)
Definitely chaotic good energy. Big fan of his videos.
You know he makes music? It’s The Flashbulb :)
HES THE FLASHBULB? I LVOE HIS MUSIC AND I DIDNT EVEN KNOW
I know right? He’s the best. I love his range of creativity.
He’s a nice dude as well. Love his Vidz about economics
why not .jxl?
The starling won’t accept JPEG-XL until somebody else builds a high quality decoder in a memory-safe language like Rust
Is this solarpunk?
Biopunk.
Ecopunk
Steganography. Smuggling data in migratory bird brains.
Revival of the carrier pigeon
you have heard about IP over avian carrier
now get ready for:
Imagine trying to catch random birds one day in the not so distant future to see if it “contains” an image.
This is a concept in the Dune book series where the fremen use bats and birds who’s speech they can modify in a way that encoded any secret message they want and then they send the bird out and someone else can then catch the bird and decode it’s speech to get the message. That’s why in the Dune 2 movie there’s a bird menagerie inside the fremen caves
Sounds based. Imagine getting Rick rolled by a bird 🤣
Imagine finding that a bird “stored” a nude
New dystopian achievement unlocked:
Age verification for bird watching.
“You must be 18 years or older to view the following bird: Dickcissel”
Boobies & Tits are both done for as well.

Time to update the video on hard drives no one wants.
ETA: Not a dis. These are actually really interesting.
Had this in my Watch Later. Nice spoiler.
I saw this elsewhere and thought it was bs earlier, but this time I decided to check it out.
It’s in the first minute of the video.
