Xkcd is the rule34 of information

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

Because of course there is. It’s a good one too. Lol

[-] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago

This one is honestly baffling 🤣

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

One of my absolute favorites 😄🥰

Sometimes I wonder how some people look at a topic and know that there is a relevant xkcd and exactly which one.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

I don't know about people in general, but in my case it's a simple case of me thinking "that reminds me of something", then figuring out that what it reminds me of is an xkcd comic, and then finding the comic 🤷

In this case, it was pretty much inevitable since it's one of my all time favorites 😁

Too many wolves? Believe it or not, release more wolves.

[-] Jaderick@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

So true. IIRC about 40% of Yellowstone wolf mortalities are from other wolves in territorial disputes (stat either from the books „The Killing of Wolf Number 10“ or „Wolf Nation”).

Releasing more wolves is a possible solution to too many wolves.

Wolf Nation

Or as it's known amongst fans of teen bestiality: Team Jacob

[-] bamboo 5 points 2 years ago

Exactly what I was thinking of.

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 years ago

Too much gun violence, release wolves with guns.

[-] hank_the_tank66@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Wolves with laser beams attached to their heads!

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 2 years ago

I only got ill-tempered sea bass. No wolves with frickin lasers.

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Release Omega level Wolfs

[-] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 years ago

Instructions unclear: Gave wolf offering of table scraps and warm place by fire, now have dog that barks at twigs

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago

Greedy CEOs? You better believe it : wolves!

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

Just release them straight into the board meetings.

I have a friend who works as a park ranger in upstate NY. Every year the rangers have to cull the deer, but they use rifles. He said the problem is the only natural predator deer have in the area is the automobile.

I'm in Utah, and we drove out the wolves like 100 years ago and coyotes have a bounty, so we're being overrun with deer. As a result, it's really easy to get a deer tag here, since we need some way to cull the population, but it's still not enough. We're finally reintroducing wolves, but it'll take a while for things to rebalance.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

My neighbors feed them and we're five minutes from downtown in the capital city of my state. They're cute and all, barely afraid of people or cars. Get scared off by neighborhood cats sometimes.

I would love to post the photo I got of 13 of the 14 that were in their backyard at one time but I'm lucky someone hasn't already doxxed me.

People loooove to hunt here. People live for deer season. They talk about hunting during the other three seasons like those people who can yammer on about sports for hours in the offseason. I know scrawny little dweebs who bag a buck almost every year.

The meat is good and if they aren't culled they're all doomed to starve or die of disease and further ruin the ecosystem. We have a few city coyote, more on the outskirts and countryside. I feel like people would lose their minds here if we tried to reintroduce wolves though.

People already look at me like I grew an extra head when I tell them I've never been hunting, so maybe the hunters are doing enough here.

Undercook fish? Wolves. Overcook chicken? Wolves. Miss a dentist appointment without cancelling? Wolves.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

What's this? A handsome family picnic woefully underpopulated by wolves?

A large influx of wolves ought to put a stop to that!

[-] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 years ago

Helpful Tip: in a pinch, other predators will do, but they should be spec’d up for lethality if facing larger prey.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago

Nova has an episode about the need for multiple predator species. Keeps all of the animals in their roles.

Wolves, lions, bears, and cheetahs.

Reminds me of one of my friends who is in his 50s and still obsessed with wolves like an elementary school kid. He non-ironically wears lots of wolf t-shirts and has his house decorated with tacky posters of them, etc.

I roll my eyes at it, but he's pretty fun to hang out with.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I would have rolled my eyes at it in my 20s but I'm feeling it in my 40s.

[-] TheRealLinga@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

The amazing thing is, that would actually solve all three situations.

In a bloody, slaughter sort of way, but still. Solved.

Wolves would have to be real hungry though

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of a Louis CK bit about releasing lions back into society and how much more life would be better. You couldn't sit around and eat, you'd have to graze and look out. Okay I'm doing it injustice but I also can't find it on YouTube anywhere for some reason, but it was good bit.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago

Finally, someone makes sense.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Wolves can help you lose all of your weight.

[-] ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lol 5 points 2 years ago

I am pro wolf gyang

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Weight loss aficionados have to shop at wolf-infested grocery stores.

To much pollution is controlled by releasing wives(edit: Wolves) into mansions and penthouse apartments, not warehouses.

Encourage the people making the bad decisions to make better ones.

Edit: I dont know what autocorrect was doing.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

Releasing wives into mansions and penthouse apartments would probably result in more pollution from all the deliveries.

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 6 points 2 years ago

What kind of wives are we talking about here?

Limit it to atrocities against nature and i'm game.

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Got the bottom of a 100 step staircase this morning to a coyote staring me down not budging. My instinct was to snarl and howl. More wolf. Solves everything.
