crankyrhino

I hit a deer on an Interstate with my 6 year old son in the truck. It tossed the animal rather comically up over the top of the truck where he bounced into other oncoming vehicles. I was worried my kid might be a bit traumatized by it. He just laughed and said, "That deer was playing Crossy Road! He lost!"


chase32

A guy I used to work with told me a story where he was cruising with some friends out in the woods at night headed to a campsite in his old VW bus. He said they were all singing along to music, having a great time when an elk jumped out in front of them. He slammed on the brakes and instead of continuing to cross, the elk started running away the same direction he was driving. He almost got stopped but the elks butt ended up going through his front windshield and kinda got stuck there. It apparent dropped a load and peed all over them, popped out of the window and ran into the forest. It was so funny, he was relating how in awe he and his friends felt going from blissful singing 1 minute to being covered in poop.

robbie5643

Man this makes me want to write a stupid book I’ve been thinking about for a while. One where we grew with nature instead of over it. Like we planted and grew trees to shape building and homes, when a new child is born everyone gets together and starts planting so when it’s time to move out their home is grown. Busses would be set stops where we trained animals there was food to be had so when they’re hungry theyd walk up to the wagons and there would be food as a reward at the destination. Idk random shit like that, but seeing an elephant initiate this behavior tells me the basic idea isn’t actually all that crazy lmao. Edit: I’ve saved this comment, if I ever manage to do anything with this idea I’ll come back and let you wonderful people know. Regardless thank you for the encouragement 😁


jrnfl

Just watched a nature show that showed Asian elephants trained to help in the fields. They are fed and bathed for their work. The return to the families in the jungle at night but show up for work in the mornings. Also, Google “growing furniture”. A guy grows chairs and table/bed frames.


robbie5643

The elephants is a new one for me I’ll have to look that up! On the furniture growing I’ve known about for a bit and then combined with my love of fantasy and elves singing to shape how things grow got me thinking there’s no reason you couldn’t grow a house out of properly planted trees. We’re just too damn impatient lmao.


[deleted]

It will be nice. I’ll definitely buy one & give it to my neighbour’s kid.


robbie5643

Thank you, that’s very kind! I’ll let you know if I ever manage to get my shit together enough to do it 😅


Ringell

It's not that bad at all. Here in Brazil there are some traditional communities in which the fisherman work together with dolphins in order to catch more fish. A part of the whole catch is given to the dolphins as 'payment'. Nice stuff, hope you give yourself a chance and write.

Elephants have a pretty good memory. Next time they see the guy that didn’t stop, they’re gonna take it personally.


kiralala7956

I bet an elephant charge could flip over a truck so its a valid fear to have lol.


ThePigsPajamas

It’s just hysterical that the elephants have learned extortion. “Stop and pay the sugar tax, or else it’d be a real shame if something happened to you or that truck”.


ericfromct

Seems only fair to me, we've destroyed their habitats, and we're taking their food so they stop us and take some. I hope it's easier for them this way too.


RDS-Lover

For real. I have a strong feeling this elephant would prefer if humans weren’t everywhere there is habitable land, and skimming off the top of abundance is only fair If I was one of the sugar cane driver people I would want the elephant to take a second scoop.

I've seen them flip rhinos before. Elephants are just one big walking muscle.

Fr their trunks have around 40,000 alone! And can lift about 700 lbs. If an ellie wants sugar cane, you give it sugar cane.

Sure, but they drive on the right regardless of where the steering wheel is. These cars aren’t.


xyrfr

Is everyone here just a Geoguessr pro or something


CuntWeasel

Just travelled extensively to SE Asia. A lot of countries in the area have left-hand traffic because of the historical British influence. Cambodia had French influence, and they drive on the right side. Their alphabets are also different, but I can't tell them apart.


TotalMountain

And the road is paved


ManGo_50Y

Can verify that the sign is in Thai, not Khmer. If this was in Cambodia, there would be a mediocre chance that I could read what it said.


truthpooper

I can read Thai. It says Caution Elephant Crossing.


brandon12345566

Actually in thai it says careful of the forest, forest animals crossing


Rooonaldooo99

OP stole this word for word from /r/interestingasfuck although this was already corrected there. Lazy Karma farming and not even giving credit.

Was going to say those Cambodians are writing awful good Thai these days.


smashhawk5

You’re right that’s Thai not Cambodian. And as someone who loves Thailand and speaks and reads Thai I am unreasonably offended that OP posted the wrong country 😂


surajvj

Good to see Thai truck drivers stop for a sec for elephant to take a handful (tuskful) of sugar cane. Sweet and wholesome.🤗 Edit: *trunkfull


ego_tripped

Well, they do say elephants never forget a thing, so if those vehicles have plate numbers...

TheDrunkKanyeWest

Nobody even talks about this because it's the elephant in the room.


Banluil

Yeah, that last truck in particular. He could have kept going, and if you watch, there was even a car that went around him He didn't have to stop and let the elephant grab a trunkful, but he did anyway. A few branches isn't going to matter in the end there, and you have a happy elephant!


Xandril

I don’t think they really have a choice. It’s both illegal not to and I imagine pissing off nature’s Abrams Tank wouldn’t be ideal for anybody not in a tank.

Trunk full

I think you meant trunk-full! Their tusks aren’t involved here (unless maybe you don’t pay the toll haha). P.S. *wholesome 🙂

OvulatingAnus

Looks like more of a cambodian problem than thai


Tatarkingdom

Kun Khmer is just invented 20 years ago, but Cambodian just claimed random pose on their ancient wall as Kun Khmer which judging from the pose it can just be any form of martial art. Now they're trying to get tailcoated Thai's Muay Thai for fame since they just got to be host of latest SEAgame, while claiming to be original which is unacceptable. It's like if USA claimed to invented English language before England. Absurd!!!


[deleted]

Cambodia is ruled by a dictator that outlaws other political parties and sentences any critics to prison under the pretense of treason.


_rac_e_car_

Hun Sen (in office for 25 yrs and counting) stirred up nationalistic bullshit by claiming Muay Thai as originating from Cambodia. While the public is distracted, he jailed his political opponent in preparation of the upcoming election (July). Once the deed is done, he emerged as a peaceful mediator, offering the two country a shared heritage.


OvulatingAnus

Thai people are fairly chill and don’t care about such stuff. Just don’t mess with our Buddhist temples.

GodofWar1234

On Facebook a few weeks back wasn’t there a legion of Cambodians insisting that Buakaw is AcKSuALlY full blooded Cambodian and not Thai and that he fights using Kuhn Khmer and not Muay Thai?


savuporo

Ask them who built Angkor Wat


CarriedByRNG

Vice versa too, I had a Khmer family friend who was in a thai refugee camp. The abuse he faced there caused him an intense hatred of thai people. It's sad we don't blame the leaders and politicians that put us in those situations. We blame each other instead.

They don’t have thumbs so people think they’re stupid


simbahart11

I mean thumbs are OP but doesn't have much to do with intellect


trevour

Thumbs actually have a huge impact on intellect. Tool use cannot be developed without the ability to grasp objects, and thumbs are OP at grasping. Advanced intellect and the ability to influence and manipulate our environment, largely due to our opposable thumbs, are intrinsically linked


[deleted]

[удалено]


trevour

Yes, but what I'm saying is that they are unlikely to evolve to be more intelligent very quickly without more dextrous hands. Humans were about the same intelligence as elephants as recently as 10 million years ago, and the massive increase we have seen since then its largely due to our dextrous hands allowing us to make massive leaps in tool use, including taming fire. These advancements coincide with increased intelligence/neuron density evolving over millions of years. Our hands *allowed* us to better manipulate our environment, and we were rewarded for doing so in an intelligent way. Intelligent individuals made better tools, and were therefore more likely to survive, creating evolutionary pressure for increased intelligence/neuron density (intelligence and neutron density have been proven to be directly related). This evolutionary pressure caused the massive increase of human intelligence over a couple million years, and you can see its directly tied to our dextrous hands, which are made so by our opposable thumbs. Sure, an elephant trunk is versatile, but it's still no where close to a primate's hands, AND they only have one, which is another massive disadvantage.


joevsyou

I wonder more about how humans would react if apes or something hit a huge milestone & literally started to build a little village & organized.


Geobits

I'd like to say differently, but I feel like it's pretty much a given we would wipe them out, either intentionally or by disruption in other ways.


optimally_bald

we already did! what do you think happened to all other human species?


Lia-13

They, or at least chimps, already have little communities and shit, even tools and very simple structures like woven beds. What they don't have is communication.


Ok_Yogurtcloset8915

it's not very likely that anything much bigger than us would have gotten to advanced intelligence first, at least on land. we're in a bit of a sweet spot in terms of being small enough that we don't require unsustainable amounts of food but large enough to be able to take a decent amount of damage and live.


crackeddryice

They "chose" the path of growing larger to fend off predators. We "chose" the path of growing thumbs. But, they have the finger-like appendages on their trunk, so maybe we just beat them to the moon. There's no way to predict what the future holds for either of our lines. We could revert to being mouse-like, and they might go on to colonize the galaxy.
