Lol…it hit me square in the teeth the other day, so I just HAD to try my hand. 😂
Ahahaha I only know this because I had to google it for a joke at work yesterday
dirt_owl is the superb owl this is easy
Okay I give up. Someone spoil me.
Explanation
The most common collective noun for a group of owls is a parliament.
Oh, I thought it was kind of a Hoos Hoo of government.
yay! I got it! I just wasn’t sure I got it until somebody said it explicitly 😅
Huh. There are some humans (non-owls) in there, so I thought the joke had something to do with them.
AI spoils my fun. Again.
I think most of the planet would like to see a multitude of crows in the oval office.
Now this is subtlety! 😉
I’d rather see a Funkadelic of owls…
Birds…owls…
Powlament?
Does it involve a play on the words cloaca or nictitating membrane? More like…nictitating NO brains, am I right?
In short, the owl glossary didn’t help.
EDIT:
I FIGURED IT OUT. I’m such a fucking idiot.
Powlament?
Ooh, ooh!
Owldeeeeeer!
I think this is subtle?

What an interesting group
Now would you even say… legislative…?
The level of sloppiness of this AI slop is especially high
For sure! But the only reason I prodded the AI forward in such a way was to produce a silly joke. For a silly reason. For a well-known reason!
Or not…?
On one hand I do appreciate you posting on the Fediverse and supplying a nice joke for us, on another, AI… it’s not exactly popular here and I can understand why. I think you might have posted something about that in Fedigrow before?
You might want to at least label this image as AI-generated. Obviously I know this is not a real picture, people don’t walk around with owl heads instead of person heads, but I’m one of those folk still really easily fooled by AI images and without people in the comments talking about it I definitely would have thought some artist made this.
Joke is fine, it’s just sad to see something that looks so grotesque in a community otherwise devoted to nature photography and an appreciation of these beautiful animals.
Not that my opinion should necessarily be relevant to you in any way but I think taking the 10 mins to paste actual owl heads over an actual photo of a…room full of important looking people…would have been funnier while also actually possessing some aesthetic value

Right mate, but WHAT EXACTLY sheltered world do you live in, in which a terrible disaster happens 'pon a wayward, funny owl post, eh?
Yeah yeah with the sheltering and the big disaster. Listen dog, everything’s okay right now. We’re cool. Your joke is nice like I said. The image looks like trash, and I told you so directly because I’d rather not see trash here. You “prodded” it into existence in one second, right? Why get so defensive about it?
This is Superbowl - where we give a hoot.
