Those guys had guns, went to war against emus, and lost.

America went to war against drugs and lost. The drugs were surprisingly well armed. Though we also gave drugs a bunch of guns, just to even the playing field.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 18 points 6 months ago

We secretly wanted drugs to win the whole time, but wanted them to feel like they earned it.

Fuck man, we should give Emus guns.

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Drugged emus with guns

Can you please stop joking about invading countries, Jesus Christ, listen to yourselves. The world had a fairly poor view of Americans before this whole thing but you guys are really isolating yourselves here.

I don't imagine this joke was made by an American

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Looking at OP's history, they do seem to be an American right wing troll

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 15 points 6 months ago

Yeah... I see pro-Trump and covid denial themes, so either a Russian troll or an idiot American.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

It's fine. We deserve it.

I'm sorry it seems like NonCredibleDefense has sprung a leak. I'm sure CredibleDefense will get it plugged shortly.

Private Australian citizens don’t need guns to fuck you up.

Kangaroos are strange creatures.

Chonki boi!

We don't have guns? I should really let the local firing range know that, they clearly never got the memo.

[–] Spuddlesv2@lemmy.ca 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Plus the owners of the other 3.5 million guns in the country. Dipshit OP seems to think gun control = gun ban.

[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 10 points 6 months ago

The number of Americans who do not understand this is frustratingly large.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Don't do it! They have emus!

[–] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Don't need 'em. Got spiders and snakes.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

That ain't what it takes to love me. You fool, you fool.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

We have milk crates, shopping trolleys and thongs. Fucking try us ya pussies

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For any confused Americans, every time I've heard an Australian use the word "thongs" they mean flip-flops, not thong underwear. Just wanted to make sure we all understand the meaning of this threat (we should be scared).

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago

We use the word thong for both the footwear and the bumfloss.

[–] aviationeast@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Ammo town begs to differ, all shiny and chrome.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Hey we just got Trump to shut up about Mexico. We're not trying to do Round 3 in a desert! The choices are Temperate, Arctic, or Jungle. And if we're super good boys we can get European Island too.
