A gargoyle isn’t real though, if that thing was illuminated by lightning at night, I would have some very quick and serious questions going through my head. We do have silverbacks in our zoo… maybe it escaped…?

But also pretty sure lions are common outside courts… no?

Don't worry, Gargoyles are real. It's Grotesques that aren't real.

If I lived a few doors down, I'd install a larger fake gorilla on the front of my house, making her gorilla look disappointing.

It’s great you have no imagination and have the ability to think as fast as computer. People are also scared by humans that randomly appear, an animal is many factors more. It’s not like I’m making this shit up lol, go speak to any woman who walks at night for example.

But obviously the vast majority of people aren’t super powered like you. And a lot of people love where wildlife can kill them, bears, cougars, wolves, etc. it’s gonna take people a little bit to adjust to the context. This isn’t fiction.

You’re not even funny if you’re trying to troll, do you often get ignored at parties…?

Does Lemmy have a community for r/imverybadass ?

lol people are scared as shit to walk at night in a lot of places buddy. Get your head out of your ass. Random things that appear are gonna freak almost anyone out until they come to grips, which isn’t instant like you’re making it out to be.

People are scared of their shadows because the news tells them to fear everything.

Tucson, AZ has had 15 foot tall dinosaurs outside a Mcdonalds for 30 years. But that's not really an issue. I'd say seeing an unexpected T-rex at an intersection is scarier than a gorilla sitting on a shelf.

Harambe's death was so pivotal that it even caused the "This Is Fine" dog to reverse course!

Heresy. The timeline was thrown into chaos when the well known extraterrestrial David Bowie died on January 10th 2016 and could no longer keep it on track.

This includes the killing of Harembe 4 months later.
