One of the biggest reasons that planned economies never work is that the ones who plan them are always much less intelligent than they believe themselves to be.

>It's not 'dumb Chinese', it's an authoritarianism problem.
Hitler's generals and industry leaders contradicted him all the time.
The whole reason why the long 50mm gun wasn't the standard armament of panzers before the French campaign already was because his generals and engineers just ignored him after telling him it'simpossible (it wasn't). It took 2 years and him getting oissed at 2 different birthday parades to do something about it but it still only happened after barbarossa had already started it.
You can have very authoritarian governments and still have people saying no to the big guy.

Sadly that wasn't a u-turn but a full circle. Xi Jinping is a true believer in Communism and the CCP is reverting back to the highly centralized top-down economy of Mao's era.

That always bothered me, but it's an example of a moment that was added for dramatic effect or whatever. Upon a rewatch, the LOTR trilogy has a lot of moments like this. I still love them, but yeah, it's clear Peter Jackson had a tendency to fall into such tropes, even when they strained credulity.
Do they have chickens who do the same?
My parents have chickens and from my impression, they are just lawless murder hobos.
Can they organize like that?
the issue with chickens is that they ruin the ground by picking it apart. Ducks are a lot better for pest removal if you have a field/garden where you grow stuff in.
this, a sufficient number of chickens in a restricted area will strip the ground bare and exterminate seedlings within weeks
this is especially true if they have no way to eat tree leaves, such as from a covered enclosure or from clipped wings, because it spares the ground cover a little and they're less likely to rip up the ground looking for bugs because they can pick them out of the trees
It's not so much 'organised' as just looking that way. What you've got there is a large group of ducks following each other, with the one at the front just kind of walking whichever way seems best. There's no coordination, or planning, involved. I don't see why chickens couldn't do it, but the closest I've seen to that would be something like the link at the bottom, which is just a lot of them running towards food at the same time
Ducks don't scratch. They just consume the insects and top of crops, which means the roots tend to be fine.
They also actively eat snails, slugs and so forth while chickens will avoid them like the plague.
What they really should do is convince the Chinese male population that eating locust will cure their limp micro dicks, so for once they wont eat or snort powder made from endangered species thinking it will help them be able to frick like normal people.
I'm rooting for the ducks, but I know the locusts are going to win. Gregarious locust aren't afraid of anything and I wouldn't be surprised if reports surface of ducks getting eaten by the swarm.
Just send 500.000 Chinese and they can eat both the ducks and the locusts.
Just write an article about how eating 100 locusts a day give you amazing erections and they will even buy their own tickets.
Stupid whitu piggu, everyone knows only endangered species make good big pp medicine. This is why you are of being gays and trannies and have Blacks, while we put uighurs in concentration camps, which never happened, but if it did, they deserved it, and you are shooting Blacks.
the sun is 2x10^30kg and 1 trillion male lions is only like 2x10^14kg so the lions are still less than 1 trillionth of the mass of the sun so the sun would just burn them really fast with 0 damage
WTF. Are they going to truck them around in little duck troop carriers? I know 200 million sounds like a lot, but locust swarms are fricking huge, and pop up all over the place. The BBC is turning into tabloid type shit.
BBC world is a corporation designed to sell BBC products to foreign audiences, as apposed to the actual BBC which is funded by the public through licence.
Why does China still insist on fricking up the environment with short sighted attempts to use plants and animals as tools to make nature do shit it's not supposed to do? Have they not had artificially created enough famine in the world yet?
They're moronic and they've always been moronic. They killed all the smart people decades ago and only bred more morons who thinks their moronation makes sense.
You select the most intelligent lions to breed, and over the generations you create a lion-super intelligence that can blow up the sun with collective psychic powers before ascending to chase astral gazelles.
A duck can eat a lot of locusts a day if you're feeding them to it to make foie gras for Klaus Schwab, but realeased into the wild I guarantee they'll spend most of their time eating virtually everything else.
>Sparrows were suspected of consuming approximately 2 kg (4 pounds) of grain per sparrow per year.[3] Sparrow nests were destroyed, eggs were broken, and chicks were killed. Millions of people organized into groups, and hit noisy pots and pans to prevent sparrows from resting in their nests, with the goal of causing them to drop dead from exhaustion.[3][4] In addition to these tactics, citizens also simply shot the birds down from the sky.[5] The campaign depleted the sparrow population, pushing it to near extinction within China.[5] >Some sparrows found a refuge in the extraterritorial premises of various diplomatic missions in China. The personnel of the Polish embassy in Beijing denied the Chinese request of entering the premises of the embassy to scare away the sparrows who were hiding there and as a result the embassy was surrounded by people with drums. After two days of constant drumming, the Poles had to use shovels to clear the embassy of dead sparrows.[6]
Reminder that sparrows know how to exploit the rules of engagement
it's like Hotel Rwanda but instead of a hotel it's an embassy and instead of Rwandans it's sparrows (that all get killed in spite of the Polish ambassador's heroic efforts)
Imagine getting assigned a diplomatic post, and thinking you're going to bridge two great nations together.
Then one day you're told that it's your turn for sparrow shoveling duty.
I dunno, I don't see any locusts living in duck neighborhoods
Other than Pakistan being a horrible environment for ducks, what are actual reasons to not use ducks?
The police don't want you to know this, but the ducks at the park are free
I personally have about 20 myself
>The elites don't want you to know this, but the ducks at the park are free. You can take them home.

>China uses birds to kill famine causing insects
No, you’re remembering the season 1 episode. This is the season 7 ‘mirror universe’ version of that story
It's the 1950s level of stupid all again.
Most probable ending:
>ducks need to be feeded because can't fly like locusts
>ducks are eaten by chinks, xiangshou!
The locusts' food can't fly either, and eating them afterwards is part of why you'd use livestock for pest control.
China prepares 1,000,000,000 Chinese to battle Pakistan's locust swarms.
A single Chinese can eat more than 200 locusts a day.
What they really should do is convince the Chinese male population that eating locust will cure their limp micro dicks, so for once they wont eat or snort powder made from endangered species thinking it will help them be able to frick like normal people.
Pakis will just kill and eat all the ducks. They need some kind of non-halal predators.
Attack pigs?

Is this the real world equivalent of pic related

I don't think you know what a lion is.
am I being baited? an internet search told me they weigh between 370 and 500lbs so I went with about 400lbs which I just called about 200kg
yes

bugs will be eaten

This is all ducked up.
People do this all around the world already. I know some smalltime organic farmers use ducks to get rid of snails.
Here's a video from Africa
Yeah my mom has ducks, chickens, goats and sheep. Just need a cow at this point.
Those ducks are fricked tho. Locust dont fool around
A trillion lions could easily just breed to outlast the sun. They never eben have to get close.
You select the most intelligent lions to breed, and over the generations you create a lion-super intelligence that can blow up the sun with collective psychic powers before ascending to chase astral gazelles.

Ducks
Ducks, that’s the ticket
Old news, this happened last year and the chinks end up never using the ducks and got fricked by the locusts anyway, I think?
I'm rooting for the locusts.
I hope we see The Great Famine 2.0 in China.
As long as it spreads across all of Asia and Africa too. Would be amusing to learn that it's a response to Covid tho.
Neither.
Mormons were the correct answer.
Hold on, where is China getting these ducks from? There are no birds in China.
That's 100 tons of ducks
The ducks should definitely beat the chinks
My bet is on highly pathogenic H5N1 that the ducks will host.
