This is a much more interesting take on Wolf of Wall Street

I have a lot of outdoorsy hobbies, most people who are serious about camping and hiking and such are also pretty good about leaving no trace.

But there's also a lot of people out there who aren't serious about it, they just think it would be fun to go out in the woods and have a party or whatever and they leave a lot of litter, start fires in inappropriate places, etc.

And at least around me, that's generally a pretty safe thing for them to do. Theres no really no large predators left for them to be concerned about.

And I sometimes think "maybe if we just reintroduced wolves, that might be enough to dissuade some of these assholes from making a mess in the great outdoors"

Those of us who spend a lot of time outside know there's usually not too much to worry about as long as you're taking some basic precautions, but almost every time I talk to a non-outdoorsy person, it seems like they're always afraid of getting attacked by wolves or bears.

A friends husband refused to go on a trip to Canada because he was convinced they would be attacked by bears. They were going to Toronto

but almost every time I talk to a non-outdoorsy person, it seems like they're always afraid of getting attacked by wolves or bears.

it's like talking to a US tourist as to why they never visit Australia; spiders, snakes, drop bears Crocs...

These are also the people that can't figure out the bear proof trash cans at camp sites and provide hours of entertainment in their attempts to use them.

The overlap between a smart bear and a dumb human is actually pretty vast. Sometimes you gotta just accept that the dumb humans wont be able to figure it out in order to keep the smart bears out too.

Also,your ability to figure shit out when utterly exhausted is a lot different than your ability to figure shit out when wise awake. If you've just made a 27 hoor drive you're going to be pretty unable to think too.

But why are they being poked with pointy sticks?

These have to be the most adorable killer wolves. One is even winking at us! Idk if that is a good thing.

It's so embarrassing when you think a wolf is winking at you but it's really winking at the wolf behind you

lemmy.world

It's winking at the two wolves inside me. And one is winking back and the other one isn't

Not boars, tho.
Wolves prefer not to fuck with adult boars.
Even when European lions were still around, they'd rather go for something else over a boar. Even bear cubs or baby mammoths, with all the risks involved.
Without some metal animal like Komodo dragons, it falls to humans to keep them in check.

Humans with guns and preferably a helicopter.

Good luck spotting and hitting boar from a helicopter without like extensive thermal vision and and some massive minigun and even then it's gonna be hard.

Sneaky fuckers running in the undergrowth.

Remember they got Bobby as well

Just type “helicopter hog hunting” into any search engine lol

I did actually.

"Helibacon" made me chuckle lol.

But....

And

Doesn't really assuade me from my point too much... Especially when those are in Texas, where the annoying undergrowth, that hogs have an easy time hiding in, doesn't exist to the extent it does in other places.

2

Haha fool me once Mr internet entrée. I will crank my hog in peace without hunting for whirling helicoptery hogs.

boars are like hundreds of lbs, and they are vicious, and not a natural prey item in usa, they are from eurasia, where the equally dangerous wild boar is native. apparently there is a distinction between a boar and a pig, the domestical feral pig is what the usa has an invasive, the eurasian boar is a different species.

This entire thread is just Werewolf the Apocalypse in a nutshell lmao.

The concept of the game boils down to eco-terrorist werewolves getting mad and tearing the billionaires, factories, and the elementary school class that had a kid accidentally litter to shreds.

But pro hunting groups would say wolves are "threatening their way of life."

Bitch we threatened wolves' way of life when we exterminated them from habitats. Dear are not meant to populate where they have in numbers they have. The ecosystem didn't evolve that way.

lemmy.world

So I have a question and I don't know how to make it not sound insane or racist

3

Yeah, that kind of racist and crazy. I like making fun of conspiracy theories and I got that from my mom, right about the same age as op and their kid we would listen to art bell so I dig bonding over conspiracies. But I just think it would be hilarious if they were Jewish and teaching each other "secrets" about space lasers.

If you're struggling with super thick thighs and want to lose some weight, wolves eating just one of your legs will reduce your weight greatly.

Since about three years, there are wolves roaming in my area. I'm still fat.

Wolves really went from ecosystem management to solving everything 😭 nature’s multitool apparently.

Recently, I seem to have a problem that there are too many wolves around. I've lost three children this month alone.

piefed.social

Oh they're not my children. The neighbors keep dropping them off. They said somebody has to look after them while everybody else is out fighting wolves. Fortunately, when the parents came to pick up their children, nobody asked about those three, so I guess it all worked out in the end.

lemmy.world

Well, I mean... I don't wanna lose ALL the weight

Also, Congress IS wolves, so that ain't gonna work

I wish Congress were wolves. They'd be a lot cuter, more fluffy and less evil.

Have a problem with a corrupt fascist oligarchy plundering your country and plunging the world into chaos? Yep, release the wolves.

Can someone please x-ray draw these did legs in for me? The right side of the photo in particular. It's confusing the fuck out of me.

You're awesome! But no it doesn't lol! My direction (right side) wasn't great. Blue and yellow's other front leg - can't tell which I'm seeing there.

I think from right to left: it's blue left leg, yellow left leg, bit of blue right behind front wolf left leg, bit of yellow right behind front wolf right

Edit: a picture equal a thousand words

Yep great weight loss tool if they chew off one of your legs thats something like 20% of your weight gone just like that.
