In that case, is it even a border if people aren't frequently peeing all along it?

I guess that's why Parisians are so patriotic.

"... and that's how I got arrested by border control."

The draft but you're sent to the Canadian/Mexican border to pee on the border line

Why do you think I drink so much water?

[-] F_State@midwest.social 1 points 3 days ago

Be careful with that water stuff. Have you seen what it does to the bottom of boats?

Surveyor stakes are the equivalent to peeing on a tree these days.

And at our core for millions of years we have been pack animals like the wolf or lion or sheep. Lemmy is filled with packs and tribes that will defend their "territory" by expulsion anyone that disagrees with the pack strongly enough. Just as humans have done for those same millions of years.

I read a study that showed that behavior varies by sex. Women are more likely to exclude an individual from a group while men are more likely to accept almost anyone into the group but just force the ones they view as undesirable to the bottom of the social hierarchy

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yep. That's the accepted idea. But at our core we are still all pack animals. It's hard to get away from the "lizard brain."
