      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”? 🤦🏼‍♂️

        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.

            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.

                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.

                    Yeah, but dingoes are classified as Vulnerable, which is one step above Endangered. They might not want to risk people hurting them when the goal is to get them to leave you alone or hold them off until help arrives.

          Wait. I genuinely thought that was just a metaphor for the historical massacre and subjugation of the indigenous people. Rabbits beat the Aussies, too?

              IIRC, that was the premise for the TMNT setting in a post-apoc down under for the RPG back in the 90s. 🤣🤘🏼
