whoever will stop this massive armadillo kaiju trampling over the united states?

Wouldnt make it any worse than it already is. Maybe it will unite the idiots again.

No one. Let it do the work, it’s needed.

We just find out how they were able to breach the impenetrable walls of swine.

Yo I love armadillos and I rarely see them, but this map shows them just barely where I live. I hope to see one here soon, I’m sure the first one I see will be on the road, but then hopefully alive soon too :)

DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world on 01 Oct 15:13 next collapse

Maybe you’ll get to see both… one right after the other.

BanMe@lemmy.world on 01 Oct 18:08 collapse

I moved to Armadillo territory 10 years ago and sadly I’ve never seen one alive, only roadkill confirming their presence. The tarantula are the same way. We’re just not in the places they frolic most of the time, and if we are, they hide.

Leprosy is back on the menu, baby

grue@lemmy.world on 01 Oct 13:13 next collapse

I’ve seen them very rarely in metro Atlanta.

Which means they’ve reached Hartsfield International Airport, and we’re all even more screwed.

notsosure@sh.itjust.works on 01 Oct 13:50 next collapse

I wouldn’t worry too much; they don’t have thumbs, so flying a jet may turn into an unexpected challenge hehehe.

CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world on 01 Oct 13:57 next collapse

Hmm… do you actually need thumbs to fly a modern commercial jet?

Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca on 01 Oct 14:05 collapse

I would say yes, in order to have a sufficient grip on the stick/yoke

notsosure@sh.itjust.works on 01 Oct 15:52 collapse

Cookie has a point though… I’m really worried now.

DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world on 01 Oct 15:13 collapse

Musk wants to install his neuralink thing in them so they can fly that way. No thumbs needed.

psud@aussie.zone on 02 Oct 09:36 collapse

You would need the brain wiring side of that installed

Southern Florida shows us that the only way to defeat them is with alligators.

“We know how to take them out, General. Spread the word.”

_stranger_@lemmy.world on 01 Oct 14:49 collapse

Um, no, that’s just the part of Florida that the animals can tell will be under water soon.

Well, ok yeah, alligators would then be a problem.

Lets support that sense until they’re all on the aircraft rocket to anywhere else hell.

Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works on 01 Oct 15:19 next collapse

I’m trying to figure out how they’re supposed to get to Los Angeles without crossing through San Diego. I guess hop a plane to LAX and go to Disneyland?

Edit: Urgh, I just realized there’s probably some evil bastards out there who’d smuggle armadillo babies in their pants.

ByteJunk@lemmy.world on 01 Oct 15:29 next collapse

I’m calling it now: the 9-banded armadillo will be adopted as Canada’s mascot in the next decade, after they become the main species in the Canadian deserts.

If that’s what it was supposed to look like in 2023 I wonder what the actual distribution was that year.

As someone descended from lowland Scots, I will get the spears. Just need some hounds and we’ll have bacon.

The fact that the human side has gone radio silent on the war tells you all you need to know. Pray to whatever god you observe. It’s going to get bleak.

HeadyBroccoli@lemmy.zip on 01 Oct 23:23 next collapse

I actually know quite a few people that participate in hog culling, and I know in my surrounding area (Californian suburb) there are a bunch of boar cages set up to trap them, so I wouldn’t really say it’s radio silent at all, perhaps maybe a bit more quiet in your area though.

I love the word aviation. Makes it feel like you can nounify other animal types. Like mammation. Or you could go into subgroups, like cervidation, chiropteration, monotremation, etc.

ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca on 01 Oct 20:04 collapse

Crustaceans?

Dojan@pawb.social on 01 Oct 22:24 collapse

Crustation? Or maybe crustaceation? A process of periodical molting. Or maybe the act of using a claw-like implement?
