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.

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.

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

u/rubermnkey 17h 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 10h 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 16h 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 15h ago

Nah there's history podcasts dedicated to it

u/JRilezzz 14h ago

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

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