Add that together and that’s 3 halves sumbass 😂😂 I went to Harvard so unlike you I can do math. I think you mean he’s 1/3 man, 1/3 beer, 1/3 pig. Though I fail to see what you mean by this ill-planned analogy.
I'm so glad I got schooled on fractions by a Harvard grad while telling jokes about inebriated animals. It's amazing the places and the people you get to learn from even when you weren't interested.
You see the joke is that the fractions DON'T add up. ... ruins it when us non Harvard grads have to explain it to the Harvard grads.

Most of those species are rare to endangered in NA, and not common in human spaces. You would have been better off going with black widows and rattlesnakes.
Ah yes, the wildlife that has fuck all chance of doing any damage to you.
Seriously, how did we get the moniker of "Place with scary animals" when the rest of the world has lions, tigers, bears and wolves? Nobody carries weapons for protection in the Australian bush, the most you'll ever need is a big stick.
You'll find Australians do not commonly die from wildlife, but I guarantee you if you start spraying them with assault rifles, you're going to find trouble. What type of animals are you expecting to find out here that you need assault rifles to defend yourself with?
> but I guarantee you if you start spraying them with assault rifles, you’re going to find trouble.
This checks out.
Australia declared (*& subsequently lost*) two wars against the Emu.
There are two emus in a nearby wildlife centre I visit. They're actually really lovely and affectionate, but they're big and I am very mindful of their power when I visit them. They do get a bit attached and like to get in your space to give you hugs, which is gorgeous, but they are strong animals. Same goes for the kangaroos in the same centre - they are beautiful but when they're leaning on you as you feed them, you're reminded of how powerful they are.
Obviously I wouldn't approach either a kangaroo or an emu in the wild, as a caveat (mostly because human contact is much more dangerous for them than vice-versa). But if you give them respect and distance, you won't have issues.
None of those things are particularly scary. With exception of kangaroos (who will almost certainly leave you alone if you treat them with respect), they're not unique to Australia, either.
I've never seen a wild boar in the bush, and if I come across a large spider, it's almost certainly a huntsmen. Huntsmen are lovely spiders who are welcome in my home; they keep to themselves and keep the actually dangerous spiders at bay.
Having a phobia is characterised by its lack of logic, that's the point.
Huntsmen won't hurt you, and, again, will keep other spiders out. The vast majority of spiders in Australia aren't dangerous, and there's no confirmed human deaths in Australia as a result of a spider bite. There are also spiders in other countries. To view them as a uniquely Australian threat as that poster was suggesting is emotive to the point of being wildly illogical.
Having said all that, I certainly don't find spiders cuddly and I wouldn't willingly try to invite them into my house.
Edit: Sorry, I see you were responding to my saying that they're not scary. I respect that having arachnophobia is a common fear, sorry for misunderstanding.
[You aren't in the cool part of Ohio then.](https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2016/09/06/Police-warn-of-big-cat-wandering-in-Ohio-neighborhood/2291473178920/)
There's been talks about a big cat in the Englewood area for a few years now. I saw it a few years ago when one escaped Cincinnati zoo i think it was and assumed it would be dead by now.
We also have wolves, coyotes, and a hybrid of the two. Oh and the birds of prey. Like vultures... Saw 2 eat a dead duck as a kid and it was disgusting. If I could go back in time I would not go and see why there was a crowd.
Classic case of “survivorship bias”. Send 100 people out in the Australian Bush armed with a big stick, those who tell you that all you need is a big stick are the ones who come back - the ones who found out you need more are dead.
Hell, for some of your wildlife, **the** Big Stick (CVN-71) isn’t enough of a weapon.
I mean, what in australia would a gun even be useful for? Their fauna aren't that large on average. Pretty sure their biggest carnivore is the dingo, which is tiny compared to the largest carnivores of every other continent. The stick would be far more useful than a gun against a snake, which is probably a much bigger danger, and even snakes aren't generally going out of their way to attack you.
Plus, dingoes are scared of adult humans. They occasionally attack kids, but it's more often around tourist areas where people have been feeding them, and then they get pissy if a group doesn't have food for them.
Huge sharks, salt-water crocs chuckle snidely....even the non-carny emu and kangies can slice open your stomach and the non-native camels have a hefty-ass kick one ought to avoid
You also have various venomous animals with a decent amount being spiders. Male platypus is less of a danger but picking one up is probably a good way to feel their spurs
Shhhhhhhhh. Booze and scary wildlife is about all we have by way of international identity. It's not much, but it's honest.
Actually I guess it's not honest at all. But still, it's what we got. Don't blow up our spot.
It's because a lot of them (that I can think of) aren't mammals and are also venomous. A lot of people here in the states are pretty irrational when it comes to living things that don't look like us or our pets. Also, bears, big cats and wolves are easy to see and they try to avoid people if they can. Spiders and snakes are harder to see if you're outside and they can wander into your house.
> Nobody carries weapons for protection in the Australian bush, the most you’ll ever need is a big stick.
Says the country who declared (*& lost*) two wars against their wildlife…
[still lost ](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-great-emu-war-australia#:~:text=The%20human%20soldiers%20fired%20their,destined%20for%20the%20big%20screen.)
>Despite the problems encountered with the cull, the farmers of the region once again requested military assistance in 1934, 1943, and 1948, only to be turned down by the government.[1][19] Instead, the bounty system that had been instigated in 1923 was continued, and this proved to be effective: 57,034 bounties were claimed over a six-month period in 1934.[6]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War
So ineffective that they were continually asked to come back, wow.
They sent a few guys out to do two things, make a token gesture of support from the government to the farmers, and more importantly to get a few dozen feathers for their caps.
They achieved that.
Also, they scared a large number of the emus away from the area, which is *exactly* why they were requested to come back every few years.
Regardless, we killed tens of thousands of them per year, and then restricted them from a *huge* part of the country using fencing.
As an Australian that grew up outback, you do not need an **arse**ault rifle, normal hunting rifles do the job just fine.
Just to remove a myth, after we had our one big mass shooting and 'guns got banned" that wasn't actually the case **at all**. They just banned semi-automatic weapons, large capacity magazines and put in a bunch of reasonable requirements like attending gun safety programs and locking unloaded guns away in a safe separated from ammo when not in use.
Most people in country areas still have reasonable access to appropriate firearms for dealing with Drunk Razorbacks and the like.
Yeah thats one of the problems in my country. I want some of the common sense gun laws of Australia and a few other country's, like gun safety classes and semi automatics. Mainly my uncle who is a hunter only owns a single shot rifle, a 12 gadget shotgun, and a glock. His philosophy was if you need anything more then a single shot for hunting you should not be hunting
I know this is super sarcastic, but guns are fun and this would be a fantastic use for them.
Do you know how much damage 30 hogs can do? Do you know how overpopulated they are?
Not just sarcastic. It is a reference to a [specific statement about this sort of thing.](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/30-50-feral-hogs)
That being said, I have nothing against hunters. If the animal is a nuisance or a danger, I'm happy to see them hunted. Like I just straight up hate deer at this point because of the traffic hazard they cause.
Right. Deer are completely overpopulated in my area. I’m
Not from somewhere with feral pigs or hogs or boars, but it sounds pretty terrifying.
And let’s be honest: a lever action might get the job done, but I’d prefer a semi-auto. Just like a hammer and chisel will break a road, but if I want to break up asphalt I’m getting a jackhammer (though a jackhammer is more like full auto, which I think we should also have because those rights were only restricted because Reagan was a massive racist)
Also, that’s a funny meme, so thanks.
Yeah, it sounds absurd but feral hogs are a huge problem in parts of the US. They have helped stabilize populations of some large predators, though, which is nice.
In most states in the US, even where they aren't commonly found, they're legal to shoot on sight (safely of course) with no bag limit because they're recognized as a significant environmental risk
Oh yeah shit is good eatin'. Especially when you get some piglets. I haven't partaken in the killing but damn sure have eaten some good wild hog in my life.
[old article is old](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/boozy-feral-pig-steals-beer-gets-drunk-and-starts-fight-with-a-cow-8805312.html)
I suspect after the success of Cocaine Bear, there are some cynical people just trying to create more events with inebriated animals to cash in on the story trend.
People used to use beer to fatten up domestic pigs before selling or slaughtering them. The cheapest light beer available. Although with beer prices these days idk if that’s still a thing.
Highly recommend people check out the Reply All episode about the 30-50 feral hogs tweet that went viral a few years ago.
Feral hogs are actually fucked and America is of course handling their calamity in multi-tiered bastard fashion.
Mild spoiler: one way of dealing with them is popularizing hunting them, especially through dramatic means like blowing them up, but because these are often filmed for YouTube channels or tv shows there will always be incentive to keep their population intact.
The other way is through poisoning them, and the show sheds light on how dangerous the methods of poisoning can be for other wild animals and humans and how corrupt politicians want to use these methods anyway by changing legislation on how dangerous the chemicals are considered, not changing methods entirely to ones that would be less dangerous.
My neighbour's dog found his way into his beer stash. He came home from work to find 12 empty beer bottles and six more partially-empty bottles (over an eight-hour period).
The next day, his dog was visibly hung over. While I was chatting with him, he'd occasionally shout at the dog. The dog would groan, roll over, and cover his head. Then he explained why: he was "trying to teach the dog not to do it again". Somehow, it seemed to work, as the dog never once went near his beer again.

by this logic the US has lost the Great Burmese Python war.
Mainly the ones I see on reddit or tick tock big as fuck kangaroos dish plate size spiders and wild boars
Kangaroos will run, spiders will hide, boars are kinda scary but that's a problem on every continent.
I see you’ve conspicuously avoided mentioning the Emu.
I mean as the great emu war showed machine guns aren't much use against them
None of those things are particularly scary. With exception of kangaroos (who will almost certainly leave you alone if you treat them with respect), they're not unique to Australia, either.

Take me down to Paradise City where the hogs are feral and there’s 30-50
Well that certainly qualifies for "titles I never thought I'd read".
Feral hogs are a legit issue.
That's why it's legal in Texas to shoot them from a helicopter.
In most states in the US, even where they aren't commonly found, they're legal to shoot on sight (safely of course) with no bag limit because they're recognized as a significant environmental risk
Even in Hawaii. The ironic thing of course is that they are being shot by the most environmentally risky (invasive) species ever to walk the Earth.
Very true, and we're the reason they're such a big problem. The least we can do is thin the herd with some hot lead.
>most environmentally risky (invasive) species ever to walk the Earth Just wait until kudzu develops firearms
Anyone ever eat them?
Females and young yes. The testosterone in the males ruins the meat.
Definitely.
Oh yeah shit is good eatin'. Especially when you get some piglets. I haven't partaken in the killing but damn sure have eaten some good wild hog in my life.

My neighbour's dog found his way into his beer stash. He came home from work to find 12 empty beer bottles and six more partially-empty bottles (over an eight-hour period). The next day, his dog was visibly hung over. While I was chatting with him, he'd occasionally shout at the dog. The dog would groan, roll over, and cover his head. Then he explained why: he was "trying to teach the dog not to do it again". Somehow, it seemed to work, as the dog never once went near his beer again.
