Someone just turned texting into a bizarre trip back in time. 🐦📱

Noah Iarrobino created Carrier Pidge, an iOS messaging app that replaces instant texts with virtual carrier pigeons.

Instead of delivering messages instantly, each pigeon flies at roughly 110 mph, with the delivery time calculated using the actual GPS distance between the two users.

Messages sent nearby could arrive within seconds, while long-distance deliveries might take hours or even days.
And there’s an unexpected twist: every flight has a 0.2% chance of the pigeon getting lost and dying before reaching its destination. If the pigeon never arrives, the message doesn’t either. 💀🐦

Users can watch their pigeon travel across a live map, collect different birds, and keep their conversations inside a virtual “aviary.”

Iarrobino reportedly built the app in around three weeks as a deliberately inconvenient and playful alternative to instant messaging.

Would you actually use a messaging app where your texts could take days to arrive? 👀
