Easier to just throw a Coke out of a plane. 😏

Everything I know about honey badgers I learnt because of a bottle of coke.

The sentinelese see right through that bullshit. Leave them alone.

Sometimes I wonder if they're the last sane people on the planet. Then I remember we have antibiotics, and my mom has a power wheelchair, and I wonder if there can't be some middle ground.

Solarpunk and anarchism are what you're looking for

[–] DharmaCurious@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Found the theories a few years ago, desperately hoping we find the reality at some point

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

I have faith that it'll work out. 2020 felt like a training point in society and I think we'll eventually be able to realize this newfound social awareness a lot of us have come to obtain. Also, join an org if you're able/currently not in one!

They have the true "reject modernity, return to monke" vibe

Yep. From the North Sentinel Island wikipedia page:

The islanders have been observed shooting arrows at boats, as well as at **low-flying helicopters. **

If they’re shooting at a helicopter, I don’t think they’ll think about a bunch of drones any differently.

[–] nxfsi@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well the north alabamese also shoot at helicopters yet would totally be fooled by a giant face in the sky

People trying to shoot down a helicopter with bows and arrows is a hilarious thing to picture

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Well they did succeed in making it go away, so there's that

Edit: This is a bit of a tongue in cheek joke

At this point I'm getting concerned with the amount of climate change we've got going on if they may be forced to relocate in the not too distant future

[–] RegularGoose@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Relocate? To where? The whole planet is fucked, not just the tropics.

The highlands of scandinavia should be safer than most and might suit them, with rΓΈmmegrΓΈt and hallingdans on Hardangervidda

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Including the majestik mΓΈΓΈse

[–] Lowered_lifted@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pacific Northwest is probably okay that's why we are trying to build dual power to replace the government when it collapses and fight the Nazis who want to do the same

[–] RegularGoose@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Did you forget what happened there last summer?

[–] Lowered_lifted@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Do you live here? Probably okay means survivable, literally over a billion people will die if they can't move from the unsurvivable parts

This would be the best reason to contact, not to convert them as Christian goons are trying to do

[–] janAkali@lemmy.one 29 points 11 months ago

It won't work if we are already their demons.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Already happened with cargo cults didn't it.

[–] osmn@lemmy.ml 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No - drone light shows weren't used in cargo cults

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

You don't say! I hope my meaning was clear.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

You don't know that.

[–] nxfsi@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You gotta go all the way and also get a few LRAD devices to project the voice of God.

But if the tribe is uncontacted no one outside the tribe can speak their language

Starlink is probably already causing some inadvertent tribal child sacrafices

They've even constructed fake airfields and hand carved wooden headphones to simulate air traffic control. Wild.

AINZ OOAL GOWN!!!

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

Or don't, because your forefathers are the reason why they want to stay uncontacted in the first place.

[–] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 6 points 11 months ago
[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 months ago

If you haven't you should read up on cargo cults. Very interesting phenomenon.

[–] tram1@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

It can only go wrong for the lands my people will conquer for me >:D
