And, of course, losing the Emu war doesn’t mean the same as losing an actual war. The emus didn’t kill a single human. The “war” was “lost” because the humans got bored and stopped killing emus en masse.
It’s kinda like “losing” the war on “dandelions” in the backyard.
I always assumed the 100 men vs gorilla question was meant with no weapons.
If you give the 100 men weapons, the gorilla is dead real fast. Making and using weapons is what put us at the top of the food chain.
Although, Emu Wars showed us that it’s not this obvious
Well d’uh, it was twenty-fucking-thousand emus spread over a fairly large area and just two guys in a truck with a machine gun.

Was it bored or did the whole affair just prove futile, especially with the lack of resources?
Also dandelions are sick, I don’t know why people see a bunch of yellow and go “hey, you’re ruining my bland monoculture!”
