I don't know if there's a name for this specific genre of image, but whenever I see a post with an AI image and yellow and red text, there's a 99% chance it's either fake or an out-of-context and outdated headline.
I. Hate. It.
There's never a source either. But then everyone reacts to these posts like they are real, always giving the same basic, lukewarm takes for karma ... "oh what if the crows start throwing away money" ... "what if they get cancer" ... "it's sad we have to train birds to clean up after us." And no one questions the obvious AI image either. As long as it has yellow letters and a watermark, it's official.
As a bit of a sidenote, I'm not against urban legends in general. These sorts of posts and claims can be easily disproven (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sweden-crows-cigarette-butts/), but I think there's something special surrounding things that aren't as easy to dissuade the public from believing, like hauntings or cryptids.
I don't personally believe in those things, but they are far more compelling to hear about because people do have skin in the game. The lore evolves over time, is spread by word of mouth, and it can become a cultural thing.
The issue with these posts is that they are ALWAYS reposts of something that happened years ago. There's no lore, updates, or community surrounding the claim. It's just a karma farm for knee-jerk reactions. I hate hate hate knowing that 100 years from now there will still be Swedish birds and people suing themselves after being hit by a boomerang. I'm so tired of it.
