Let’s not go to Australia. 'Tis a silly place.
I mean, they lost to emus last time and they brought gatling guns to that fight. Now, they’re handing out plastic pipes against dingos? How is that “learning from past mistakes”? 🤦🏼♂️
How is that “learning from past mistakes”?
They learnt that unloading a machine gun at long range at a bunch of birds that at run at 45k was a useless idea.
So the swap to a melee weapon load out (however crap it is) could be seen as learning from past mistakes.
But it’s such a bad weapon. A cardboard tube might be the only thing worse. A child with a fork can do more damage than PVC pipe.
If you can’t hit a dingo on the nose hard enough to make it fuck off with a short length of PVC, you would likely end up hurting yourself trying to wield anything sharp and pointy.
True. I’m just saying, PVC pipe wouldn’t stop an angry house cat.
Although isn’t it less to hurt them and more to deter them? You want them to leave you alone, not potentially injured badly to end up suffering or dead in the wild.
I think this is a response to the woman jogging that was nearly killed by 4 dingos. I doubt a PVC pipe would help against 4 dingos let alone one. An attacking dog is hard to fight off so I would imagine a dingo is no easier.
Emus are fierce fighters tho! Can close the gap quickly

Very nice bot! If it is a bot, it should be marked as a bot account though.

Aw you’re fine, I just wanted to let whoever ran the account know. There was an instance of a bot dev deliberately not marking their account as a bot to try and make it seem natural, didn’t want you to get caught up in that - the development of an automod for lemmy will be a big step forward in moderation.
While a park ranger might well be employed by the federal government… calling a park ranger “the Australian government” is a bit much.

galvanised steel or go home
It’s called a dingo-bye-bye-bat.
