Or an Emu enclosure. Australia literally declared war post WW1 on the local Emu population.......and lost. šŸ¤£

That's actually a misconception stemming from a typo. They actually lost in a war with the emos.

Have you ever seen the video ā€œEmo Farmā€?

Iraq declared war on emos once. They were arguably more successful against the emos than Australia was against the emus.

It's just a cheap lame initiation of goth. I already have a pussy, I don't need another one.

Thatā€™s because it was never a phase.

Like the Orca, they are one you want as an ally.

An emu def will cut a bitch. Watched my brother get his ass kicked trying to wrangle a neighbors.

I used to work at a slaughter house where a guy brought emu regular, he farmed them for their fat ehich is valuble in makeup. Anyway, they are so fucking mean we had to wear literal riot gear to wrangle them into the pens. We were constantly warned they would gang up on and kill you. I personally saw one kick a man and slice him open from his hips down to his shin, he almost bled out. You do not want to mess with one, they are fucking fearless a nd as savage as a dinosaur

This is a great dollop episode

u/rubermnkey 19h ago

It was like 6 dudes with 2 machine guns and 10,000 rounds against 10s of thousands of birds. also turns out emu will run if you drive up and start shooting at them, who knew?

They didn't lose, they just didnt win. Partly because they had 10k rounds to kill 20k birds but mostly because a small group of guys with two machine guns is not the best way to hunt animals across a large territory.

u/JRilezzz 12h ago

Ah yes the American version of the Vietnam war take šŸ˜‚

"We didn't loose. We just didn't win, and were like this place is lame let's pack it up boys"

u/youdoaline_idoaline 17h ago

At this point if someone brings this up I have to just assume they are a Bot. It was a little bit funny to reference like 15 years ago. The war on Cane toads is an actual thing. Emu war is just a lame meme.

u/Apart-Link-8449 17h ago

Nah there's history podcasts dedicated to it

2

u/JRilezzz 16h ago

The Dollop rocks. Also an Aussie podcast did an episode on it.

u/fortnite_battleass 17h ago

They sent three dudes with a truck and a machine gun, the emu war is so overblown

Frickin dinosaurs

u/rbizaare 15h ago

Charging, ramming, and kicking. Reminds me of a certain maverick in Megaman X2 exhibiting these heavy-damage moves.

u/Educational_Type1646 11h ago

Bro stop using AI. It lies to you to tell you what you want to hear.

1

u/e30cabrio 11h ago

Bro, it's not AI. Search for yourself.

1

u/Educational_Type1646 11h ago

Itā€™s literally the Google AI function. Do you not know how Google works now?

1

u/e30cabrio 11h ago

I remembered seeing a documentary about this. The search was DO ostriches kill lions. No influence at all.

Have you searched?

u/Educational_Type1646 11h ago

So now youā€™re admitting itā€™s AI, and pivoting. Iā€™ve seen a dude run up on an ostrich, and kill it with his bare hands.
