I’ll never forget the fall of Australia during the Emu Wars. The siege of Sydney was truly terrible.

They were dropping bears. It was horrible.

Emus? I think you mean cassowaries…

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

The cassowaries were being controlled by the platypus, who were in turn controlled by huntsman spiders. Drop bears fit in there somewhere......
