Wait until OP hears about hunting game calls. “SEX! Sex over here!”

Blasts animal with a 50 cal slug

at_an_angle,

(Erm…ACKUALLY)While you can hunt with a 50-caliber. It’s usually only with a black powder rifle. Even then, I’ve seen most .50 black powder rifles use a 44 bullet with a sabbot or something similar.

That and hunting with larger calibers are usually illegal.

Yeah, the guy in my made up scenario was hunting during muzzle loader season

jaybone,

Are people hunting with 50 cats?

Scubus,

I’ve never seen it, but I’m sure there are some furry armies out there.

Assman,
@Assman@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yes, like a muzzle loaded rifle for deer hunting

How many gifs, memes and random images do you guys [hexbear users] have on speed dial?

A shit ton that grows all the time. I can’t keep up with them and always finding new ones myself.

I actually think it’s a couple thousand at this point lol

Broadcasting calls is kinda looked down upon in the birding community

Zorque,

Whatever you say, pervert.

aport,

Just because I like looking at breeding tits doesn’t make me a pervert 😤

D_C,

I’m no pervert. Anyways I’ve got to go, I’m going to see if I can experience a Dickcissel, then I’m off to my mates to see his Himalayan snowcock…

I've been a fan of the Godzilla franchise for a long time. I'm absolutely stunned to learn that the films don't hold up to scientific scrutiny. I feel lied to, and betrayed. How could they do this‽ Everything is ruined.

Fester, to science_memes in Birding is Voyeurism.

Ornithology? More like hornithology.

I have to wait six billion years for this place to get what it’s got coming?! We need to put this shit on fast forward

jadero, (edited )

(looks around)

I thought we did.

I had this exact conversation a few days ago, and my kid is even 6!

siipale,
shneancy,

wow your kid is 720? no wonder he’s scared he might live to see it!

Strength squares as you scale up but mass cubes; creatures this large wouldn't be able to move their own body weight.

jmcs,

Godzilla is nuclear powered so he’s not limited by biological energy sources. There’s still the entire issue of the form factor, but for that I like John Scalzy’s take on the Kaiju Preservation Society.

If you stop just before immobility, you'd have gargantuan fights at a glacial pace. Would be a terrible movie, but maybe a cool story or book.

LetKCater2U,

This must be the real reason we have earthquakes.

slackassassin,

I accept this new theory without any further consideration.

ivanafterall,
@ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

A quick search suggests scientists haven't definitively proven it isn't the cause.

famousringo,

First one to fall on top of their opponent wins.

Aurenkin, to science_memes in Seriously???

You also can’t just scale things up and have them work the same way. I forget if there’s a proper name for this but weight is related to volume which is the cube of the dimension, but pressure is related to area which is the square of the dimension. So giant king kongs ankles aren’t looking so great right now as the pressure will increase with scale.

randomsnark,

Fittingly enough, this is called the Square-Cube law

sigmaklimgrindset,

Why can’t we just petition to amend the law?

Come on scientists.

Aurenkin,

Thank you! I was sure it had a name.

tryptaminev,

Ideally you aren’t slamming all of your weight on your ankles with every step though. If you do that at human scale with normal human weight, there won’t be much of your ankles left either. Your muscles work as a spring to catch most of the force and they also grow cubicly. So i think the law cannot be applied this directly to biological systems. Of course you are right, that King Kong would probably not just be a scaled up Gorilla, but also altered in his shape.

Godzila for one is powered by ✨nuclear energy ✨

NaibofTabr,

Does he eat nuclear energy? Or does he like chow down on some humpbacks every day?

Is Godzilla the real reason the Japanese whaling fleet won’t stop?

emergencyfood,

He drinks water and fuses the hydrogen into helium. This needs some deuterium to start off, which is why godzillas only occur in nuclear testing sites.

oce,
@oce@jlai.lu avatar

He does neutrosynthesis kinda like plants do photosynthesis but different.

Luft,

Their whaling fleet is a cover for his late night snacks. As near apex predators they have the highest concentration of radiation from Fukushima Daichi. Kinda like DDT and bald eagles.

But luckily we have Gojiro which is a natural sink for radiation 🥳👌🏽✨

LazaroFilm, to science_memes in I want to walk on the first mold that grew on this giant cosmic trash heap. 🥲

On the plus side that may kill Hitler…

✨ it’s a movie ✨

Aurenkin,

It’s a science meme community

mriormro,
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

✨ which is why I don’t think this meme is good ✨

Aurenkin,

But we got to talk about the Square-Cube law

TheBat,
@TheBat@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t worry. @mriormro is already intimately familiar with the square cube law because of his mum.

mriormro,
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

That’s true, I enjoy the square cube law!
