You look out your window. A bird is perched in the tree outside. It has a scrap of paper in its beak. You can see there are words written on the paper but you can’t decipher them. You open the window and reach out. Cawing derisively, the bird hops backward and opens its beak. The paper flutters free. You snatch for it and your fingers connect but whoops you’ve overextended. As you tumble from the window, you look at the paper in your hand. It reads: “UNIMPORTANT BIRD DOT COM IS A GOOD WEBSITE. YOU SHOULD READ AND SUPPORT IT.” You fall to your death, etc.
