How does a bat hit feel like compared to a crow bopping you on the head?

This is not a medical question, I am simply asking about the feeling of being hit by a bat (as you can probably guess the animal, not the object lol).

About a week ago something hit me on the head. It was around 7:30-8PM. It felt like I scratched my head on a tree branch. When I looked behind me, I noticed a crow was hovering above and it proceeded to stare at me until I left. Most likely the crow bopped me on the head cause of territorial reasons or it mistook me for somebody.

However, I have noticed several bats flying around, meaning that they probably live nearby. After this encounter, I was wondering about the difference in the sensation. What does it feel like? Do they fly off immediately or stay stuck to the head?

Apologies if this community is not the correct one for the topic, I have created this simply for my own educational purposes. I am visiting a cave next month and I would like to know more on any possible encounters.

Accidentally opened a phishing PDF in Firefox from a CTF assignment

Soo, I was doing a CTF assignment while being tired and dumb (mostly the second) and accidentally opened a malicious PDF outside of my sandbox, thinking it was a different file. This is the file in question: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/f1da326409019d778786142f3d7131423d5114ab71acb72bf6b323fa6b7db5bd

Once it requested the bank credentials, I realized what I had done and closed the file.

I opened it in Firefox (on Windows 11), which doesn't have any saved cookies, bank cards, credentials, etc. I use another browser for all of those, Firefox for testing stuff.

Considering the flags, is there something to worry about? Shall I proceed and re-install my machine just in case? In the embedded JS code, I can see that a call is possibly being made to a reverse shell, but it is supposed to be ran in Linux, but I am using Windows.

A flying thing (possibly crow) hit me on the head around 36 hours ago, what should I do?

Two days ago around 8PM, I was walking back to my home, when an animal hit me on the head. The initial feeling was that as if I scratched my head on a tree branch. When looking behind, a crow was hovering above my head, it landed on a branch and it continued to stare at me. I am not sure whether it was the crow that hit me, or was it following another flying animal.

While it felt like a scratch, I asked people to check if there was and for any bleeding. They didn't notice anything, but this might be related to me having long hair. Anyways, I proceeded to clean the area using a tampon with salicylic acid (as this was the only thing containing a high percentage of alcohol at my location currently). Half an hour later, I was home and washed my head twice with shampoo while focusing on this specific area. I didn't notice any burning sensation when washing my hair, but I use a mild everyday shampoo.

Is there something to worry about and whether I should visit a doctor for this? While I am 90% sure it was the crow that touched my, would I have noticed if it was a different animal, for example a bat?

I am not sure if this is related, but here are the details mandatory for the post: Male, aged 26, 5'11 tall, I don't use drugs aside from caffeine and nicotine, non-smoker, non-drinker. Location of incident - Sofia, Bulgaria.

Това ми е въпросът. За чий член бързат да карат със 30+ км/ч и нагоре над ограничението? Има изключения, но не спасяват човешки животи с това, повечето изглежда като да отиват на село да си наберат доматите и да жулят ракия или на кафенце тук и там. Малоумно ми се струва, за едното животинско същестуване да създават предпоставки за беди.

To be fair, he is still one of my favorites. His planning and actions prior to the unmasking was unmatched, how he lost his temper and cool head afterwards was also really cool and I also liked his strained relationship with Madara, who he simply did not trust and saw him for what he was, a conqueror. I think that's a popular argument, but the one thing I have an issue with him is his backstory. For a character with such motivations, I think his "reasons" were not enough and at that point Kishimoto was probably focused on finishing the story rather than developing a thought-out villain. If he went through a life similar to that of let's say Kakashi or Nagato, it would've made a lot more sense.

Also, I have a little bit of an issue with Naruto getting teary when their memories got connected during the Bijuu pulling war. Obito was the direct malice which caused Naruto's parents' death and from the looks of it, he hardly felt remorse for his wrong-doings. If he was more sympathetic towards him from the start even as Tobi, this would've been an additional plus to the character, making him multi-layered instead of the traditional villain and the scene where Naruto "understands" Obito would've made more sense.

All in all, I think he should've been written in a similar way to Nagato, not as middle-ground between Madara and Naruto. Kishimoto's obsession with generational patterns (him being a mirror of Naruto if he went evil) is probably what ruined him and made him more superficial than he should've been.
