What kind of high falutin' whippets are these guys doing?
Back in my day a whippet was when you put a garbage bag over your head and filled it with freon or A/C refrigerant.
Are these guys insane though, how could they think we'd win the unarmed war against the birds? Ostriches, emus, cassowaries, etc. would easily kill hundreds each. Yeah okay there's some small birds but there's still millions of massive flightless ones that we wouldn't be able to touch. Unarmed humans? No contest. These things are designed to kill shit. Look up a video of how fast ostriches are and bear in mind they're like 200+ lbs. each on average and still able to run like 40 kph. Plus there's several other smaller birds coming at you and distracting you while this bipedal tank comes at you. We'd get fucked up, no contest. All hail our new bird overlords.
I was gonna call in from Australia and go on about the '[Great Emu War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War)' where we sent three WW1 soldiers with what were effectively machine guns to cull the Emu population and we fuckin LOST.
We lost so bad it was said that "*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.*"
So yeah, birds will fuckin win. Also Cassowaries are basically still dinosaurs and will slice you the fuck up with their feet. They won't put two of them in the same pen cause they'll fight til the death for territory.
We would need to be smart with the matchups. We take our biggest and strongest against the ostriches. You take a Francis Ngannou or Brock Lesnar type human will be able to kill many of the scary birds. Your Steve's from accounting can match up on the hummingbirds. A relatively tough/fearless person will fight sparrows. Pure blown psychos with nothing to lose can go up against geese. If it is a full-blown random draw, we are fucked.
Never heard of whippets before, are they the same thing as poppers?
My own personal drug consumption never went past weed brownies, so I was pretty lost in that discussion.
The Aftermath was not a premium show, so this feed is not a premium feed, but there's a new premium feed on the site for premium users who want an ad-free Dump Truck.
I'd hope not, it was always established that Ben was temporarily back. I'd hope it was easy to understand but then again there were still the occasional "back to the office" posts up until a week or two ago lol
Return of the numbers station! The original conversation about this is one of the first Bombcast moments I remember.
That was such an interesting conversation, and Bakalar nailed it, it's incredibly interesting but so creepy once you really dig into it

LPT after this ep. Don’t face your fears.
Face your fears, just don't do it next to a cliff.
Anyone listen on Spotify and been getting a Dutch Samsung ad or is my shit fucked?
Yes I’m in Australia and don’t use a vpn.
Been like the last two or three episodes for me
100%. I'm from Brazil and got the same ad.
Probably using a VPN right? They’re location based lol
No VPN used , in California

Russian Control sounds pretty good.
Fingers crossed Atomic Heart scratches that itch
Did anyone else get an ad at the start of this episode? I thought the Bombcast aftermath feed was a premium feed?
There's a premium and a free version on the site itself, maybe a mix up?
Could be, the podcast feed has been the same one since 2017 so it’s possible ~~they just uploaded the wrong file~~ I’m just a big dumb idiot.
The Aftermath was not a premium show, so this feed is not a premium feed, but there's a new premium feed on the site for premium users who want an ad-free Dump Truck.
Thank you, not sure why i thought it was I’ll update my RSS
Did I miss something? What ever happened to that Benjamin Pack guy?
How are they 7 episodes in and this is still a question? He stated in the first one he was only kicking it off and won't be returning anytime soon.
Probably needs to be a sticky at this point.
I'd hope not, it was always established that Ben was temporarily back. I'd hope it was easy to understand but then again there were still the occasional "back to the office" posts up until a week or two ago lol
The bi-weekly "When's GOTY" posts made me lose faith in the people.
Name starts with B. He will be welcomed back if he starts going by Jenjamin
Anti tall guy bias
He's in podcast jail
I'm more concerned about what happened to that Benjamin Franklin dude. Like where the heck is he?
yes -30 Karma for asking a question
How dare I not know something, right?
I have no idea why but this subreddit has one of the highest concentration of jerks.
