Chickens are pretty vicious. I've seen them kill and eat snakes.

Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!
I work with chicken for a living. When I visit breeder farms (where hens and roosters mate together to make fertile eggs, to make more chicken) I have to literally arm myself with a stick to keep the roosters at bay. They're so loving aggressive it's unreal, and extremely territorial to boot. They absolutely will try to gently caress your poo poo up if you give them the chance.

They will absolutely gently caress you up with the spurs on the back of their legs too.

Naw, roosters grow spurs naturally.

People who use them for fighting reinforce them with metal or similar.


My neighbour when I was a kid had a rooster which was an absolute rear end in a top hat. We had to make sure we had 'rooster sticks' in various handy spots around the backyard so there was always one within short distance in case the fuckin' thing came into our yard and we had to fight it off.

Well think about that for a second. If you can keep the Russians and Chinese out of a nuclear exchange (reasonably likely), North Korea only has a few nukes, and the targeting systems they run with probably have a CEP the length of Maryland. You personally probably won't die unless you're one of the unlucky people on the West Coast that happens to be underneath the essentially random place that it lands.

Lands?

Let me tell you about EMP. Let me then tell you about how ridiculously intensive it is to replace big power transformers.

DontMockMySmock posted:

There's a reason "rocket science" is the cliche term for something really, really hard. And NK doesn't have ex-Nazis to help them with their missile program like we did. Even from a layperson perspective, if you know a bit about missiles and Cold War weapons history, it seems pretty clear that NK's nuclear capability is all bluster and no substance.

They have a demonstrated ICBM capability that has a range sufficient to cover most of the continental US. That's pretty substantial.

Oh my god that would be the most amazing thing ever. If North Korea was so stupid that they saw all that Tom Clancy CNN bullshit about EMPs and actually decided to do it, and wasted all of their nukes. That would be the funniest goddamn thing ever.

EMP is a major concern. It's only "Tom Clancy CNN bullshit" if you don't know what you're talking about.

quote:

In every EMP attack,all three assaults (E1, E2, and E3) are delivered in sequence and nearly simultaneously. It is the Commission’s assessment that functional collapse of the electrical power system region within the primary area of assault is virtually certain. Furthermore, widespread functional collapse may result even from a small weapon with a significant E1 component. While stopping electrical supply over a broad geographical area nearly instantaneously is damaging, it is the time it takes to restore service that is important, assuming restoration is possible, which itself may be questioned in some instances.

It's like all the Cold War guys realized that nobody was afraid of nuclear war anymore so they had to come up with a new shtick. "Uhhh.. they could throw the nukes and crush people with them. They could take the warheads out of the ICBMs and fill them with snakes, uhh... ooh, EMP, that could do some damage! EVERYBODY WE GOTTA BE WORRIED ABOUT EMPS!"

So basically you're an idiot. Gotcha.

Did you know that nuclear bombs aren't the only source of an EMP that could cause catastrophic damage to the entire electric grid?

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/ev473k/fema-is-preparing-for-a-solar-superstorm-that-would-take-down-the-grid

But, well, no need to actually invest any effort or resources into hardening the grid against that kind of thing, because it's just Tom Clancy bullshit from the Cold War Guys.

Go back to your animes.

While we're on this topic, Dirty bombs ain't poo poo. They're not significantly more dangerous than just a regular bomb. The person who carried the bomb would be the only one with a significantly increased risk of cancer.

Also, a few planes took out few building and killed a few thousand Americans and you guys launched two land wars in Asia and got hundreds of thousands (more likely millions) killed in your freakout response. I'm sure the trump admin's response to nuking LA would be tempered and reasonable.

A few posts late but I have seen our chickens hunting and catching squirrels and baby birds (fallen out of a nest) before. I've also seen them with frogs, bugs, lizards, snakes....people who say chickens are vegetarians are so so mistaken.

My conure will do anything for meat...she would rather have chicken/fish/whatever than her vegetables if she has a choice.

When I was younger, I saw my grandad's chickens go racing full speed across a pasture to get to a roadkilled deer more than once. There was an entire flock of chickens tearing that dead deer apart...they are NOT vegetarians by any means lol I have had my own chickens go stealing pieces of meat from backyard bbqs we have had, and when they get scraps of food they always go for the meat first.

They are definitely smaller dinos, and I have no doubt that if I passed out in their view they would probably eat me if they could reach me.
