“Below this line are dragons” is a comment I’ve seen in code before an especially hairy block of code.

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 108 points 2 months ago (4 children)

It's a false flag. Dragons are not hairy. But maybe the code doesn't scale well.

Is that why the Australians lost to them in the war?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

Australia, not having been colonized by the British until the early modern era, did not have the same dragon-slaying traditions as the British homeland; and furthermore, lacking an established craft of anti-dragonfire armor (as can be found on any British street corner), they were rendered helpless when the Emus attacked.

The Aboriginals of course understood how to coexist with Emus, and defend against them when necessary. The Anglo-Australians, however, being twats, did not listen to the Aboriginals, and were therefore slain mercilessly by the Emus.

Great pun, but Hairy is a meta-template that.can be applied to almost any statblock. Boosts the CR of a creature by 4 and grants it advantage on saves against most forms of debilitation or quick removal.
