it is pretty hard to find solid statistics on wolf attacks, but as far as i can tell, wolves in north america kill way way way less than one person a year, which means that forces more deadly to us than wolves include: dogs, ice fishing, and getting crushed by a falling flat screen tv.
…further complications to trying to write non-ridiculous angst into a werewolf story
“you don’t understand…i’ve done things under the full moon that i can never take back…one time i ate a squirrel”
“I SNIFFED MY OWN BUTT. THE INDIGNITY HAUNTS ME STILL.”
“i have pooped in the woods and now must go brood about it. don’t try to follow me.
…and seriously, be careful around your flatscreen, it is probably heavier that you think.”
European wolves (before they were hunted into extinction in most areas) attacked humans purposefully a lot; it’s in the historical record.
North American gray wolves have a natural fear of humans and attack people very rarely, really only when threatened or starving.
So like, imagine, like, a divide between people who got infected with Old World and New World lycanthropy. One makes you this dangerous beast that sees humans as a viable food source an another makes you perceive humans as a threat. Imagine people getting it wrong!
Some shady paranormal group capturing a werewolf to use as security but it just runs away when people trespass.
Some hunters go deep into the woods to murder a werewolf clan for their pelts but it turns out they’ve isolated themselves so deeply because they have the European strain and none of the hunters survive.
New werewolves are so confused because the websites give conflicting advice: get yourself to your nearest national park when you’re about to turn and just let yourself run free; if you try to cage yourself the claustrophobia and the smell of people will make you panic and you could really hurt yourself or someone else.
vs
If you’re anywhere near human civilization you must make sure you turn in a closed space that you can’t escape from in wolf form or you’ll definitely kill someone. Just try to take a nap during the full moon, OK.
And they’re like, WHAT DO I DO WHICH ONE DO I HAVE?
case in point, the global werewolf cultural divide!
on the subject of the global werewolf cultural divide, another update, per wikipedia:
Wolves from different geographic locations may howl in different fashions: the howls of European wolves are much more protracted and melodious than those of North American wolves, whose howls are louder and have a stronger emphasis on the first syllable. The two are however mutually intelligible, as North American wolves have been recorded to respond to European-style howls made by biologists (x)
if android got rid of their headphone jacks you guys would be sucking their dick lmao
No we wouldn’t?
Aint you people doing that with Apple?
I’d be pissed af if they got rid of their headphone jacks lmao apple ppl wildin
Apple people be projecting like…
>Android
Android is a type of OS, not a company. It would really depend on the manufacturer.
Like Samsung. Or LG. Or Huawei. Or Motorola. Or one of the dozen other companies that make Android phones.
At least with Android if one company decides to abandon the headphone jack we can just choose another android phone from a different company and it would have roughly the same specs.
iPhone users don’t get that choice. You can’t just switch to another company, you’re stuck with Apple. Either you get another type of phone entirely or stick with an earlier edition of the iPhone, which Apple will eventually phase out.
This like saying “if Microsoft decided to stop including USB 3.0 ports” when it’s entirely up to the builder or company designing even individual PC what goes into it.
Even worse here because Android is OPEN SOURCE like Linux and literally anyone can manufacture a device running it with no licensing fees. That means you have everything from shoddy budget devices all the way to the premium models from companies like Samsung and LG.
Apple is one company that’s the sole owner and user of iOS, so there’s no alternative devices to pick from if you want iOS.
I really hope this is bait with the shit I’ve seen from Apple’s fandumb it’s hard to tell.
It’s almost like apple built it’s company on forcing their users to buy as many useless addons by taking away basic functions.
