  I upvoted this, but I disagree with labelling pigs as punks. Actual punks are anti-cop, and would 100% bite a pig.

    As this is quoted from NWA’s song, “Fuck da Police,” you may wish to take up your exception to Ice Cube and MC Ren, who may or may not choose to take the matter under advisement.

      Fair, I’ll be exercising my skills as a red blooded Canadian and writing a strongly worded letter to their legal representatives. Hopefully they will fund my time machine project so they can go back and amend the lyrics pre-release.

      Honestly, Fuck Da Police being my introduction to rap, funny enough by my mum’s very white hippy friend, I should have picked up on that. My mum flipped shit when she walked in to 8yr old me and aunt Sandy rocking out to this track. Halcyon days 🤣

    The Punks took their name from punks.

    Punk Rock is rock for punks, and it became a term of pride in shared identity, the way redneck is to some people.

    There were still some who hold on to the old ways and used it to describe contemptible and aggressive individuals. That’s what NWA is doing with that lyric. It’s especially stinging as the song was recorded in 1987 where that is the language the authorities would have used to describe young Black people like the members of NWA when they were literally just living their lives.

    Both are extremely based and had similar vibes: the Punks claiming it for themselves and NWA turning the language of the oppressor back on them.

    There’s a big difference between being “punk” and being “a punk”. If you’re “punk” it means your some combination of anti-establishment, anti-corporate, anti-cop, anti-capitalist, etc.. If you’re “a punk” that means you’re a wimp who’ll back down immediately as soon as someone gets loud or aggressive with you unless or until you have overwhelming numbers or force on your side.

  How hard is the bite of a turtle? I know it varies between type, but let’s take a more common one like a Red Eared Slider.

    I had a red eared slider, they will take chunks out of you if they feel so inclined they bite pretty damn hard.

  Will those little guys take a chunk of your thumb off? I’ve heard stories of people losing arms to bigger turtles when they go noodling. Maybe those are tall tales, but either way don’t go noodling.

    Excellent life advice overall

    Probably not the tortoise in the picture, since they are herbivores. But certainly a species of snapping turtle, top of the list would be an alligator snapping turtle. I wouldn’t doubt it could rip off an entire limb.

    Read up on those monsters. They can live up to 200 years in extreme cases, they found one with a musket shot still in it from the civil war area.

      This is apparently 200lbs. Looks like it could take a whole damn head off actually.
