There is another joke in there.

well at this point it doesn't work because all it does is prop up Australians as badass people who deal with giant spiders and snakes like they're mosquitoes while we scream when we see a cockroach. and since we're not looking to tame Australia as new settlers anymore i don't think there's any harm to it today.

I like the section called The "war" with the old timey portrait.

Another action-comedy movie retelling of the events called The Great Emu War, written by John Cleese, Monty Franklin, Rob Schneider, Camilla Cleese, and Jim Jefferies, was aiming to begin production in 2023 or 2024.

The machine-gunners' dreams of point-blank fire into serried masses of Emus were soon dissipated. The Emu command had evidently ordered guerrilla tactics, and its unwieldy army soon split up into innumerable small units that made use of the military equipment uneconomic. A crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after about a month.

I can just hear Jim Jefferies narrating that.

A win is a win.

More power to them, not everyone can do a successful pacifist run

Because the emus were playing 5D chess. Their diplomatic stonewalling is what ultimately won them the war.

I mean…yeah, if we had a realistic way to find preserved dinosaur DNA and bring those bad boys back? I’d say do it in a heartbeat. Stupid? Absolutely. But worth it.

Sadly finding DNA that has survived intact for dozens of millions of years is impossible. 😭

"don't build the torment nexus"

To be fair, those enclosures were basically designed to be broken out of.

Also me. Yes. Dinosaurs are cool.

Whoa! There's a movie about the Australian Emu war?
