This explains why american pickups got so big

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

They interbreeded with wild pickups?

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

It's funny. Of all people who could use the supposed benefits of a large pickup, since they're offroading and carrying this shit, this seems to be a fairly standard size pickup. It's almost like a standard size pickup is actually reasonable and useful and the big ones cause more issues, if you're actually using them for their purpose, than they solve.

if only there were already an established species of large ungulates - ideally herbivores - to fill the niche and prevent hogs from over-expanding

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 59 points 1 year ago

Gotcha, we're going to introduce gorillas into the environment to fight the boars

[-] robotElder2@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The beautiful part is that when winter comes the gorillas will all freeze. :good-lord (we should have a skinner emote)

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

Not if we allocate funds to get them all hats and scarves. Will be introducing this bill to various southern state governments within the month.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Kind of surprised

I could have sworn we had a "No, it's the children who are wrong" emote

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Still not doing it, maybe we need to also get some predators like grizzly bears to eat the hogs

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago

You know what this continent needs? A wide ranging social apex predator that uses pack hunting techniques and controls the population of large herbivores!

in the future americans will turn to a more nomadic life, following the massive herds of horse-sized boars that will fill the grazing void left behind by our first great abomination against nature, the extermination of the buffalo

[-] glans@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

wasn't that an abomination against humanity?

my vague understanding is that bison were carefully managed by indigenous people pre-1492. like a lot of things Europeans mistook for "natural" because they were unable to grasp the scale of the ecological interventions being made and the sophistication of the agricultural methods. And also by the time the norther parts were assessed by europeans, there was significant ecological disorganization caused by the genocide. And then, the genocide was furthered by intentional destruction of these animals in a strategy to destroy the humans.

eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bison_hunting#Native_American_plains_bison_hunting

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mostly yes, a little bit no. The bison did experience a bit of a population boom after the population of native stewards got ravaged by disease and displacement. Then gun toting white people went ~~buck~~hogwild. Most "wild" things whites encountered except in the decades immediately after 1492 were in a huge state of instability or desolation.

I need my 57mm M1 anti-tank gun to defend my small children from the truck sized feral hogs assaulting my position.

Megafauna in the Americas making a comeback???

[-] the_itsb@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

megahogs running rampant in the US is poetic af

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Can't wait for the first megalohog that rolls around in an oil spill, then runs through a wildfire, finally making it's way into Lubbock as a distressed, flaming behemoth.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

The Forest Spirit saved him? Saved the life of this loathsome runt? Why didn't he save Nago? Is he not the guardian of the forest? Why?

[-] Lucien@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

30-50 feral hogs all in one

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

These are almost always forced perspective or photoshopped. Feral swine can get real, real big, but it's more common for them to be between 75-250 lbs (so I am told by the US government webpage on invasive feral swine).

[-] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago

Thank you "PatriotRider" for keeping an eye on the feral hogs.
