      When resources are scarce, birds will literally push the weakest chick out of the nest to increase the survival chance of the rest. They’ll keep going too, and kill them all if they have to

        Loads of mammals will do that.

        Bears, for example.

        Hell. Some seals just leave their kids on the ice.

        Possums are so smooth brained their kids fall off and mum just keeps the bus rolling. Tasmanian devils, too.

        And hippos just forget their kiddos are even there and trample them.

        And that’s not even mentioning the crazy shit humans get up to

        A boy found the egg laying on a path. He was surrounded by turtles, alligators, and a bunch of other non-bird animals that also lay eggs. But he assumed it was a bird egg, found the nearest bird nest, put it in, and thought he had done a Good Deed.

        What a maroon

      Isn’t the US infamous for being one of the only countries where once you hit 18 your parents expect you to fuck off?

      And if you don’t, everyone belittles you for living in your parents’ basement?

        18 is when legal parental requirements end, but like … only shitty people do that.

        Its prevalence in media belies how little that kind of thing actually happens IMO.

        Someone else already replied well, but I wanted to add that we’re not entirely homogenous, either. Southern US culture still has multigenerational homes as a normal thing. It isn’t the majority, but nobody really bats an eye in the South or Appalachia if you live in a home (or on piece of property with multiple dwellings) with your parents, grandparents, some cousins, an aunt or two, and that dude you brought over to dinner once that moved in at 14 when your parents found out his parents were shitty to him.

        We go out of our parents houses when we marry if we ever do, otherwise it’s hard to rent or own unless someone’s dies assuming they’re home owners… sometimes we live in the family homes all of our lives.

          I don’t see how that fits the meme.

          I think 4 is the American system where a lot of parents expects kids to move out the moment they turn 18.
