Over short distances, pigeons have theoretically higher bandwidth for large files than fiber. A pigeon can easily carry 20 512Gb as cards for a total of 10Tb of capacity. Homing pigeons fly an average of 60mph: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homing_pigeon. Over a 100-mile distance, this translates into a bitrate of 133Gbps.
Sure, basically some dudes in the late 90's thought it would be funny to draft an internet communications protocol involving carrier pigeons. That's the basic gist of it.

Throughput is insane, latency is awful though.
Really only works if you want to transfer the entire series of Seinfeld
Want to describe it to people that don't understand, unlike people like us that fully understand.

Of course, we all knew that. The normies, you know.

I've been thinking of that too.
RFCs are full of wonderments. HTTP response 418: I'm a teapot
That's one of my favorites!
