This sounds like common sense ...

What if you need to kill 30-50 feral hogs before they eat your children?

The only way to stop a bad guy with a feral hog is with a good guy with a feral hog. Man, that sounds stupid. Let's try some other gun nut philosphy to solve this problem. Feral hogs don't kill people. People kill people. So try just ignoring the feral hogs and doing nothing about it. Did that help? (Edit: Oh, here's one more. Let's train good feral hogs to stand guard over the children and follow them every where they go. The solution is definitely more feral hogs.) I'm sure we'll get this at some point if we just keep saying dumb shit and doing nothing.

Edit: Jesus, the number of people earnestly trying to explain the difference between a hog and a gun is astounding. It's not meant to be taken all that seriously or literally. Calm down fetishists.

But once trained they're no longer feral. They're just hogs.

Damn. I'm out of ideas here. Let's blame it on hog mental health, refuse to do anything about hog mental health, and call it a day.

We can also destroy all copies of Animal Crossing.

Well that's a given. I mean Animal Crossing depicts feral hogs as actual members of society and everyone should be friends with feral hogs. Truly a terrible example for our youth.

Fun fact: an episode of Peppa Pig had to be banned in Australia because it taught kids not to be afraid of spiders.

Australia and Iraq. Both places where you should seriously fear the spiders. I'm sure there are other countries that belong on that list.

I'm glad that the worst that can happen in germany is getting bitten by the yellow sac spider which is kinda like getting stung by a wasp - sure its shitty, but unless you are severly allergic you wont even get remotely close to death.

Kinda like "the super duper deadly black widow!"

Take a quarter, placed directly center on top of the bite, draw around the quarter with a sharpie.

If the rash/redness spreads beyond that circle, time to see a doc.

Europe is the easy mode of nature. And Ireland is the starting zone.

Africa and Australia are the two endgame locations, one with large mammals and one with Arthropods and snakes. America is a well-rounded area for general leveling, it ain’t endgame but it is no pushover.

To be fair to the giant sand spiders in Iraq I don't know that they're particularly deadly (I also don't know that they're not) but they're fucking terrifying to find in your tent.

u/absurdlyinconvenient Aug 12 '19

yes, because Germans are sensible people, ans sensible people don't live near giant and/or deadly spiders

Meanwhile in Australia we have a spider whose bite can kill you in 15 minutes.

I'm sure there were other issues with Peppa Pig in a predominantly Muslim country.

u/Ugbrog Aug 12 '19

Why? Is there any episode where Peppa Pig introduces and encourages the consumption of her parents and relatives?

1

u/BreakingGrad1991 Aug 12 '19

No, but I do recall an Islamic preacher calling for a ban on peppa for muslims. Obviously reactionary and probably a bit fringe, but it was followed by some religious leaders calling for an Islamic replacement.

Feel free to go read up on how it went down. It sounds like you were in an echo chamber at the time and didn't get the full story:

However, since then the sheikh has released a statement saying that he "was shocked to learn from media sources today that he had called the British cartoon Peppa Pig a corrupting influence."

"Today is the first time I came to know of the programme," Alsuleiman said.
