Yeah if one of those were around me I'd be cassoworried.
I hope one finds you and gores you for that
I'll take note of that and becassoware.
Those things are legit the closest we have to modern-day dinosaurs.
I mean, the thing is basically a feathered velociraptor. complete with the toe-hook-claw.
we should all just be thankful they don't have the inclination to hunt people.
It's way bigger and scarier than a velociraptor.
I've noticed one difference between me and other people is my willingness to put my teeth on a fucker. Other people are like "no that's gross." MF if I think my life is at stake I'm latching onto whichever artery or windpipe is closest and whipping my head back and forth like a terrier trying to break a rat's spine. I'd put my mouth on a rapist's dick just for the feeling of ripping it free with my teeth and hearing them squeal. I don't even care what they do to me after; the knowledge that I've turned their sadistic pleasure into pure pain and terror is enough to send my soul to nirvana on its own.
Anyway this is the real reason I've never been mugged as yet. That's the real secret. When you're walking on the street the predators aren't looking for someone weaker than them, they're looking for someone less insane than them. If they can glance at you and just know that fucking with you will likely involve losing at least one testicle? They'll leave you alone.
Can't decide if serious or copypasta, but username checks out, kinda
Found the ostrich.
I've managed to avoid getting mugged with two secret techniques: I'm large, noisy, and unpleasant, and I'm broke.
this is a Euler diagram, not a Venn diagram.
All Venns are Eulers, not all Eulers are Venns.
Venn diagrams have to show an intersection (overlap) of how all combinations overlap.
If there's a possible combination that could exist, but does not - it's not a Venn.
Something that looks like the Olympic rings is not a Venn diagram because the ring on one end isn't connected to the ring on the other end.
I know lol. It's just that "Euler rule" also gives people associations to the 100 other things that are named after the guy, and besides, XKCD said Venn.
Edit: In hindsight, I could just have written "Rule diagram" and this conversation would never have arisen
counterpoint: "Euler Ruler"
Don't even need to go that big....watch an emu stalk a chicken or farm cat like it's a raptor from JP...shit is creepy.
Or watch a chicken stalking mice and worms.
Allegedly…
What about a sick ostrich?
Those damn degens from upcountry
People who said birds aren't scary haven't seen Emu, Shoebill stork, Ostrich, Cassowary, Goose with a knife.
Especially emu. A nation from down under wages a war against them and they lose
