I have to give them credit, they actually consulted a real expert whilst they were drunk. Most people don’t, not even sober
To be fair, “do hummingbirds have feet” seems eminently wikipediable. I’d like to think that if I ever felt the need to drunk-dial an expert, it’d be for something less trivial.

Telephones existed for a century before wikkipedia…
In the before times: The guinness book of records started as a promo by the guinness brewery given to pub owners to settle bar argumnets like this one.
TIL: Guinness Book of World Records origin story is the same as a D&D campaign: started in a tavern.
All great things start in a bar. Or coffee shop. Or in the shower. Or in a dream. But never in a meeting.
isnt a a bar evening just an optional meeting with no agenda and alcohol?
But they don’t just want the answer, they want to share an experience with the people they’re with in a clever and fun way.
Not even 20 years ago smart phones and the internet weren’t ubiquitous. I’m only 35 but even I remember personal stories about bar disagreements where we just simply couldn’t use our phones to search the net. Because all they were capable of is dialing a number and Snake.

When I was little, my mom dropped me and her friends kid off at a church for arts and crafts, I was 5. We we given toilet paper rolls, pipe cleaner, glue, and some other stuff to make butterflies. I studiously started making mine, I got the wings, the antenna and asked what I was supposed to use for the legs. A full grown ass women look me right in the eye and said “Butterflies don’t have legs”.
I had seen butterflies land on flowers and latch on with legs, I was so confused how an adult wouldn’t know that.
I remember asking my teacher why you could see the moon during the day and my teacher told me you couldn’t.
This too left me very confused, because I had seen the moon that very morning from the school yard.

If birbs aren’t real, how come their feet are?

Depends on model but it is usually a lizard skin coating. Older prototypes used whole lizard feet.
This is what smartphones have taken from us.
