This is what White people should be doing all of the time now. Protective circles work.

We used to call it shield wall.

Or circling the wagons. I still have no idea why that worked, other than the American Abos were even more retarded than I give them credit for.

"Myrtle what's happening?!?!"

"I don't know! Defensive positions!"

I am 100% aware that I'm retarded

That's the type of twist ending that gets em every time.

What really pisses them off is I'm totally fine with them thinking I'm an idiot. I don't even think I know 1% of human knowledge, and I'm fine with it.

Fascinating. Besides forming the circle, it's also interesting how they seemed to instinctively know that they should move away from anything that could potentially fall over. They moved to the most open space of the enclosure to form their circle.

It's always interesting to see animals reacting to an earthquake, especially how they seem to be able to hear/feel it before the shaking begins.

People often think they're stupid because they are big and funny looking. But elephants are very intelligent animals

I like birds - they just get the heck outer dodge.

[ - ] BloodyComet 0 points 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 18:43:22 ago (+0/-0)

I thought that we had established, through top-tier academic debate and research, that BIRDS ARE NOT REAL.

Stop trying to gaslight me, dassar!

[ - ] puppy528 0 points 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 20:31:26 ago (+0/-0)

They weren't real, until the deep state created them in 2018 to wrongly discredit flat-Earthers as conspiracy theorists. Now, they're very, very real. And it might already be too late. Satanic media even signaled as much publicly, already, when they said that the bird flu.

But of course, I would say that just to keep them off my case.....

The Earth has been plummeted with solar flares recently which I have been shown to be linked to an increase frequency of earthquakes. Speculation is that it reacts with the metallic core of the Earth and puts pressure in slight variation on the Earth and so all these cracks that are already under stress get just enough stress to have some more release. I frankly wouldn't be surprised if we had a larger earthquake in Southern California in the seven range cuz it's been a long time since Landers and Northridge and we're in a new solar cycle and earthquakes are picking up all over the world right now.

Elephants are probably smart enough to be superstitious.

[ - ] UncleDoug 0 points 1 weekApr 16, 2025 04:47:52 ago (+0/-0)

Elephants have pagan gods.

[ - ] Clubberlang 1 point 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 10:09:15 ago (+1/-0)

Any video from South Central on how they reacted?

If it was before 12pm in the morning the screetz be empty frfr 💯!

[ - ] Her0n 1 point 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 10:43:45 ago (+1/-0)

They probably looted. Anything they can use as an excuse to do so, they will loot.

[ - ] TheNoticing 1 point 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 11:19:30 ago (+1/-0)

Niggers don't need an excuse to loot.

[ - ] Her0n 2 points 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 14:28:57 ago (+2/-0)

You got me there, I guess a better way to describe it is "the jew media will use this as an excuse for the nigger activities"

Neat. Was there an earthquake?

[ - ] Lost_In_The_Thinking 4 points 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 09:24:04 ago (+4/-0)

Sort of, at least in my area. It was only a 5.2, which is pretty minor even at the epicenter. I live about 60 miles north of where it originated and barely felt anything.

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker 1 point 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 11:29:48 ago (+1/-0)

But you felt it even after the shockwave had ~60 miles to dissipate. "pretty minor"

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 13:13:49 ago (+1/-0)

Shockwaves are not equally distributed. Ground composition plays a large part in felt effects and damage. There can be major damage 100 miles away on softer ground, with no damage closer to the epicenter.

Do you ever take your dookie and stick a stick in it? Then you have dookie on a stick?

[ - ] Lost_In_The_Thinking 0 points 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 13:46:07 ago (+0/-0)

What's your point? I barely felt it, and I only knew it was there because the USGS sent a warning about five seconds before it passed. If I'd been distracted, I wouldn't have known it happened at all. Are you here just to argue with people, or do you want to take me at my word on my own experience? I've lived in California most of my life and I'm pretty desensitized to earthquakes. I'm old enough to remember the 1971 Sylmar earthquake. THAT was significant. This was a very minor temblor.

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker 0 points 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 13:50:06 ago (+0/-0)

I'm of the opinion that a +5.0 earthquake is not minor.

Good for you.

[ - ] Crackinjokes 1 point 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 20:30:01 ago (+1/-0)

A five and above can knock down brick chimneys and can crack some old masonry buildings but very rarely will do more damage than that.

[ - ] Sunman_Omega 0 points 2 weeksApr 15, 2025 14:55:26 ago (+0/-0)

The epicenter was 80 miles away for me so the quake felt like someone gently shook the bed for three seconds.

Nah, J.J. Abrams was holding the camera.

Elephants can detect very low frequency sound waves with their large ears they can also detect subsonic vibrations through the pads of their feet which is why they can find underground rivers in the heart of Africa because they can feel the water flowing deep under the Earth through the pads in their feet. So I would imagine any shaking in the Earth would really be noticeable to them

I wonder what they taste like
