I'm not sure I've ever had an emotion big enough to warrant a tiger to support.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 51 points 10 months ago

Me either, but maybe by 71 I'll have seen some shit that only 7 tigers can suppress.

Being upset about a burglar breaking into your basement would be one

Karate chop the elephant, monkey!

What is this guy dealing with that requires him to have 7?

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 45 points 10 months ago

I'm never gonna ~~financially~~ emotionally recover from this!

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, no one needs more than three, maybe four emotional support tigers. Seven is excessive.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

The tigers were supporting each other too.

Good thing Hobbs looks like a doll to everyone else

There was a lady in my area that was insisting that she could tame foxes.

She was killed by foxes

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That would suck. Their teeth are so sharp.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago

It was incredibly brutal and there was blood and body parts everywhere...

She was a bit crazy but no one deserves to be ripped apart by foxes

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

a guy on youtube has a"tame" COyote, that coyote doesnt act very tame, and its teeth are extremely sharp, and it wants to bite all the time.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 points 10 months ago

I've seen those shorts. Tbf he doesn't claim it's tame, and it can leave whenever it wants. And often does for days. "Don't you yar at me!"

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 15 points 10 months ago

Didnt know you could have emotional support tigers, cool

What was he arrested for?

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

insane man abuses tigers

[–] goldfish_brain@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Goals, honestly

[–] rippermonty@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago

Some days are hard 😭

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Calvin?

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 10 months ago

My dream of an emotional support Komodo Dragon is a little closer to reality if this MF can have 7 tigers...

[–] anzo@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

Now that's some fragile masculinity
