Ah yes, a paper about wolves following a leader which was disproven by the same person that made it obviously applies to humans

The average pack size in North America is eight wolves and in Europe 5.5 wolves, with the biggest being 42

The largest human "pack" size is 37800000

i couldnt find the average size of a city, only the largest

42 is sightly smaller than 37800000 so studies on wolves about social structure might be wrong if you replaces wolves with humans

As a European, I gotta tell you, it's super creepy seeing those half wolves walk around with their packs... You guys are lucky your wolves decided to split up in 8-packs instead.

So which way do you split an Alpha male - lengthwise? or upper/lower body? Asking for a friend

[-] clb92@feddit.dk 7 points 9 months ago

Very randomly. Some of them consist of only four legs, the tail and the head - no body.

It was a joke based on: "The average pack size [...] in Europe 5.5 wolves"

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Ooh. Well I feel supremely dumb.

There are also actually half wolves, where wild dogs cross breed with wolves.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

This I know. Though as far as I'm aware we don't have any here in Sweden at least. We barely have any wolves. There are no wild/stray dogs either.

I’ve seen pictures. Very eerie how they manage with only two legs.

And somehow they always end up in parliament.

:P

I feel like there’s a joke here I’m not getting.
