If this is true I am more in awe of hooded crows
orzhvopatriarch
Cause i guess we can't train people to do it. Good on you crows
iamnotreallyimportant
I first read that as wild cows, and thought "damn that's pretty awesome but why are there no cows in the picture?" Smh

PorneliusHubertII
Now train smokers to not be cunts.
dednaHtfeLmI
Dont trade in the 1/3 or longer you fucking bird.
BewareTheIceSpiders
Could just heavily fine the sub-humans who throw their butts away. Portable ashtrays are a thing, if you can't be smart enough to quit.
Greenwaxy
I feel like I deserve to emigrate to Scandinavia for a better life. Even the crows are out of a friggin Disney movie there.
doesntmatter
"Deserve"?
donorkort
Exactly the kind of person we don't want here. ?
GeneralPlatypus
Okay, I read cows.
MythIncarnate
I... I misread that as "wild cow".
captbrewster3636
Damn filthy Crows taking our jobs!! Gotta keep them out! And send them back where they came from!! s/
copingcabana
And now that they're addicted to the nicotine work and can't stop, in America, we'd remove the peanuts. :(
ServaDoctrina
They took err jerrbs
IHateCharlieWork
For a second I thought they were trading them with prisoners who would smoke them
mattbl
I'm sure this works the one month out of the year they aren't frozen but what about the other 11?
TheobromineAddict
I wonder how you get the first crow to bring the first butt. I assume the crows teach each other after that.
dannnen1
We should get the kwyjibos to do the cleanup
n3ckr0mantic
Damn, now even the wil critters need jobs
kaiserkrainer
i dont know who wil critters is but damned right he should get a job!
WoodfolkFae
They already work all day, this just pays better than regular scavenging

ZoeWard
PROFIT!!!
DrArsMoriendi
What a good boy!
tiberiuswhythecrapcantweuseunderscoresxxvii
Psh, that's way too good to be true - this is obviously reversed!

last time i saw a drawer like that was in Clockwork Orange
chrisjlocke
Love the cat licking its butt in the background. Crow is saying, "Yeah, I'll do all the work. You just sit there licking your butt. Twat."
imilkgoats
I want a money bird!
themrwrong
Oh shit I need to adopt a corvid
pallyman
Working for peanuts you say? Why wont millennials do that? - zoomers
Artsisdead
Serious question, aren't those toxic to the crows in the long run?
OmgOptimized
Good question!
kagurajacent
They’re at a higher risk of beak cancer
GanjaPlanet
Na the little bit of nicotine they absorb just makes them more addicted to the job. (No idea)
Fishkeeper
Probably not from just touching the outside? Since they're mostly just holding the filters anyway.
Fishkeeper
Besides, the question isn't "is this toxic", it's "is it toxic on a timeframe that matters". If it takes 80 years for enough toxin to build
Fishkeeper
up to do any harm, no problem- crows don't live that long anyway.
Beastll
Some birds already collect cig buds because their smell is insect repellant.
emberfish
Birds are also much smaller than humans IIRC
Fishkeeper
They are, but they're more tolerant to some things. Also, their mouths aren't wet- makes poison absorption there a bit trickier.
Hotjoe1991
This is just going to increase crow smoking rates
Yoggington
Wait till they start snatching them outta people's hands.
WhoAteAllTheBananasAndTookAShitOnTheCarpet
That´s a win-win
swedeonamoose
That sounds like something a corvid would 100% do.
meganical
And that’s one reason why they’re the best
Beastll
Sounds like a good thing to me.
elhopaness
Nic... oh shit
RideTheStimutacs
Once they stop being able to find butts, they will. Then once people stop smoking because of crow attacks, they will come for our peanuts.
StonesOnTheHill
Nah, I'll just hoard cigarette butts and have the crows bring me lost change for the butts.
DinoRodeo
And that's how the crow economy started
w1n5t0ns
no more smoking, didn't you hear? the crows will jam your carcass down the peanut machine
Scrumdidlicious
I see this an an absolute win
WoodfolkFae
So less people will be smoking
dickblack12
It pays the same as my job!
emberfish
Eeeey
hamberglar
They tried to name this program "Butts for nuts" and got a very different response than expected.
pr3viso
They settled on "Nuts for Butts"
Fyreworx
Gotta collect those butts if you want deez nuts.
FaithAlone
Block 2 psych students of mine, this is positive reinforcement.

How about I go eat some hay? I can make things out of clay and lay by the bay. I just may. Whaddaya say?

You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?!

Nuts for butts

And once this program stops, the crows will starve, because newer ones won't have learned how to survive without it.
RileyMorgan
I think if a crow is smart enough to grasp this idea. They are smart enough to not starve.
HellBrendy
It's weird how they rather train birds than just get the fucking smokers to do it
QuicheAdvisor9
All countries have their pricks. Even Scandinavia.
Jawesome19
Stop flicking your cigarette butts you disgusting idiots
Tarumbar
Littering is fined by law now i Sweden.
evangrumling5
Isn’t that most places?
IDontGiveASchmeckle
But the crows need them to get their nuts! Your sicken me, sir. Just once, think about the well being of the animals.
chastidy
Haha!
shyasen
While I agree, what is the cost to have birds pick up cigarette butts? Peanuts......I'll let myself out.
JohnnyWalkerTexas
Thats how the discourse goes over here too.
37PiecesOfFlair
Yeah…. They’re not going to.
Rebullo
Stop smoking too, if possible
davebeastly
It looks so old fashioned now.
PutItInNeutral
That happened because most places got rid of places to dispose of cigarettes. And smokers are uneasy about setting trash cans on fire. 1/2
slartifartfest
So you roll out the cherry and throw the butt in the can, not hard.
Irimoo
Is cherry the tobacco part? Haven't heard the word before :)
slartifartfest
The burning part.
PaleAsFuck
The laws on where you can smoke is stricter in Sweden. So I guess they removed the dispose cigarette thingies in those places.
Vtoh
Well, it's very easy to extinguish cigarette with shoe sole, check with finger and throw away to trash if ashtray is not available
Jawesome19
Roll the ember out and put it in your own disgusting pocket.
PutItInNeutral
2/2 Even if you stub them out, you can't be certain that they are all the way out.
Valkyr1987
I'm calling bullshit, smokers will flick their cigarette butts even when there's an ashtray within arms reach
TrueWarwolfen
Yeah most smokers TOTALLY care about respecting the environment around them. They are tidy people that throw butts in the proper receptacle.
swedeonamoose
In my town smokers were pretty good at it, problem was the drunks and homeless would often tip the trays over looking for butts to smoke =_=
PutItInNeutral
I love how some people say that drug addiction should be treated as a victims of a public health concern... except smokers. Smoker's are...
PutItInNeutral
...just bad people.
LastTalon
If they want help with addiction they should get it. It doesn't excuse littering and it doesn't stop you from being an asshole if you do.
inscrutablehorse
Dunno how it is in Sweden, but here in Denmark you'd be lucky to find a public trash can at all. They tear 'em down for road work or 1/
inscrutablehorse
something like that, but never bother to replace them once they're done. I've memorised all the 10 or so trash cans in my local area 2/2
wopoetry
We have a lot of trashcans. In this city there's also a version that have ashtrays on them, and I've also seen voting with the butts. - >
TheSlowBurn
Yes actually
