Xkcd is the rule34 of information

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

This one is honestly baffling 🤣

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

there's always a relevant xkcd

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 months 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 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Exactly what I was thinking of.

Too much gun violence, release wolves with guns.

[–] hank_the_tank66@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wolves with laser beams attached to their heads!

Release Omega level Wolfs

Wanna lose weight? That's right; Wolves.

I have two wolves in me, and they're both fat-asses.

[–] agentshags 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm a little concerned about the wolves.. in you 😳

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Considering they're on yiffit, that may well be a reasonable concern.

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

[–] fibojoly 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Greedy CEOs? You better believe it : wolves!

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Just release them straight into the board meetings.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (8 children)

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.

Exactly why I got no beef with deer hunters. How are there not enough humans doing that in NY?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

The park is surrounded by residential neighborhoods. No hunting allowed for miles.

Most of them unintentionally hunt deer with their cars, from what my friend tells me. He said Pound Ridge has an absurdly high number of car accidents involving deer when compared to similar towns, hence the local support for culling.

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

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 months ago

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

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.

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

Wolves, lions, bears, and cheetahs.

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 months 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.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Wolves can help you lose all of your weight.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

That clearly doesn't work, lol.

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 9 points 2 months 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 months ago (1 children)

What kind of wives are we talking about here?

Wolfs do seem to be the answer to a lot of problems.
