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
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
But the reason there is nothing obvious on the spectrogram is because it's compressed data
*hits bong*
Here's the video this is referencing, for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQCP-5g5bo
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.
Thanks for sharing, I didn't know him, and the video was really great.
Benn Jordan is one of my favorite musicians, YouTubers, and people in the world. Highly recommended
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
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.
You know he makes music? It's The Flashbulb :)
They should have credited Benn Jordan, aka The Flashbulb, as the one who came up with this idea. Link to the video:

Hate to be that guy, but PNG is a lossless format... Not sure bird based storage is lossless lol
Would be more impressive if birds were real.
Yeah, if anything, this just proves they're trancieving digital data. Not a good look for things that supposedly are not government surveillance drones. Imagine the mental gymnastics of someone still calling them animals afrer uploadung a digital file to something that looks like it's covered in patchwork taxidermy from mammal and reptile parts and that spends all day flying, watching people, marking targets with paint and making jerky mechanical movements. I guess it takes all kinds to make a world, but still.
Coupled with IP-over-avian-carrier, this would potentially make for an interesting concept.
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.

Can we 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.
Can starlings teach their friends songs? It’d be neat if the PNG bird song was pass down through the generations for future interplanetary visitors to discover
The analog distortion would be fun to watch propagate from bird to bird.
That'd make for a great element in a modern remake of the movie, The Birds.
Researchers trying to reduce the distortion are tracking the patterns. They can't figure it out until a main character, a blind audiologist who lost his vision in the first attack many decades ago, has an epiphany and suggests assembling the images in sequence to form a video. It shows a bird flying and flapping its wings. The researchers keep gathering data, making the video longer and more complex.The bird now also does loops and spins. The researchers set up remote microphones all over the world and network them with their computer so it can compile in real time.
We learn that blind main character has now trained himself to "see" the images that he hears. Main character and love interest colleague walk through the park discussing their work as a flimsy pretext to spend time together. All of a sudden, the birdsong changes. "Run, love interest!" says main character, but love interest won't leave main character behind. The camera pans over to the computer screen in their laboratory, which overlooks the park. The video now shows another scene at the end, an enormous eagle shredding a person with its talons and beak.
That's all I've got so far.
Revival of the carrier pigeon
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
Is this solarpunk?
Biopunk.
Ecopunk
Steganography. Smuggling data in migratory bird brains.
Messenger carrier pigeons are back baby! Quick, toss your 401k into Big Bird Co.
Time to update the video on hard drives no one wants.
ETA: Not a dis. These are actually really interesting.
