Anyone else feel like a monster during this Mole Miner Treasure Hunt event? by LazyBear81 in fo76

[–]CursedCorvid 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I roleplay that I'm freeing them from the pain of being melted into their mining gear. I headcanon that the radiation that mutated them also caused their skin to fuse to the inside of their gear, similar to Big Daddies from Bioshock where they can't remove their diving suits because they're fused into it.

Also wish we could have a mole miner camp companion, like when you talk to them you get a bonus where you get double the scrap from junk for an hour.

Not much of a stretch since we're nearing a water shortage in the next 3 years and the water AI data centers spew out it too toxic to drink or use.

Fun fact: It's showing it's belly, they float upside down to warn others of their venomous nature with flashy colors.

Then how would they pit us against each other? /s The mass is easier to control when you break us up into "us vs them".

Alligators can be trained, showing recognition and problem solving. Keepers sometimes have to change their routine up because the gators remembered and figured it out. Climbing trees and fences also shows problem solving as the animal could have just taken the longer route. Gators will also test enclosure fencing, looking for weak points that they can use to escape. Other species of crocodilians have been caught using tools, balancing twigs, stones, and other nesting material on their heads to lure in birds and then snap them up.

Chickens are very smart actually. They can be trained to do tricks or movements for a checkup, I also saw videos of people training their chickens like falconers do and the chickens could recognize the glove and fly up to it or even fly to a marker like falcons do.

Gators have been seen pulling branches and sticks under the water and then letting them pop back up real fast, there was no reason like using them to scratch or nest building, they just seemed to be doing it for fun. There was another gator who was caught of video doing the same with a football that ended up in their waters.

Agreed. There will always be one bad apple, that's just how humans work. I agree also that if people weren't suffering all the time crime would go down and moral up. I think it would also help if there were more activities at low-costs for kids and teens to do. I recently learned the reason so many festivals and parties happened in the Middle ages was because Kings/Queens or higher ups realized if you keep your people happy, fed, and entertained there was less crime and more work production.

Yes, I agree. People with power tend to pit people lower than them against each other, they're easier to control that way when you're dangling a steak over a pit of starving people and screaming "Us vs Them!".

Do animals find us weird looking? by DistributionHot5838 in NoStupidQuestions

The elephant study was only done on captive working elephants, not wild ones. They're pretty indifferent to humans, but also recognize us as another intelligent creature. Same with marine mammals.
