I wonder if it's actually bad for the squirrels or just makes them more powerful.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

I'd imagine that if you're spending time and energy finding and smoking vapes you're not looking for actual food. And such tiny animals don't have a lot of reserves.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

I mean it really depends on where the squirrels are

my brother's apartment neighbors basically use the yard by the road as a trash midden and the squirrels there are fat as fuck

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

They look pretty well nourished

[-] Salah@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Squirrels are very small animals, nicotine is probably 10-50x more harmful to them than to us.

Hellworld but I did laugh at this.

strung out in the gutter smoking trash vapes with the local squirrels... just another day in The Greatest Country on Earth

[-] whiskers165@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago

[-] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago

If you can train the squirrels to collect the vapes and exchange them for food, you could build your own e-bike battery with them

These are the kinds of Fallout quests we'd get if Bethesda didn't suck so much

Can you actually train a squirrel? Are there smart like ravens?

[-] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

You can train most mammals, because mammals are generally smart and understand rewards, so yeah I imagine you could train squirrels.

this would be almost as amazing as the guy who trained a crow to bring him money for treats

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Neither Marx nor any cyberpunk writer ever accounted for the vape squirrels

[-] SickSemper@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

First Marx never accounted for that is actually true, never once in capital does he talk about vaping squirrels, or even the humble cig-smoking ape

[-] Emanuel@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

humble cig-smoking ape

You called?

[-] deforestgump@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

Same, brother.

porky-happy We made Tomacco! But we removed the very concept of potential nutritional value first!

I wonder if squirrels prefer ecigs or weed pens.

it's not animal abuse MOM i'm doing SCIENCE, the people have questions!

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I imagine those drugged squirrels are living their best life.

There is always reason for concern about human, wildlife contact but squirrels don't seem that much worse adapted than rats and those are doing great.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 week ago

savory

I swear I saw a joke image of Campbell's soup vapes, but I can't find it now. Alas

[-] Zoift@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Im stuck between being melencholy about the concept and the happy thought that if squirrels learn about dip they could pack such a fat lip in. Whole can in one go.

[-] FidelChadstro@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Does anyone know what flavor they like most? I could stop by downtown and drop some old cartridges in a park on my way to throw car batteries in the ocean to recharge the eels

[-] Aliveelectricwire@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

almost as sad as when I saw a pigeon flying off from a train stop with a baggie of off white.

Fun fact, the pigeons in chicago will actually ride the L in chicago to get to dif locations faster

[-] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

I tried to feed a squirrel in the park and it just kept called me cringe and said it was nutmogging me.
