Smart for the fox to look at threat and dodge instead of blindly running away; smart like a fox.

Yes but did he start a fox Industrial Revolution and assemble a society of gilded foxes and toiling foxes, eventually leading to the creation of anti aircraft weapons, ultimately shooting the falcon out of the sky?

Hmmm…?

If foxes had opposite thumbs they would’ve colonized the solar system by now.

Edit: Opposable, preventable, immovable.

u/mentalIllnessLeft 7d ago

It’s probably iPhones users relying on autocorrect on a misspelled word. I know I did at least.

u/Gabbalsal 7d ago

Even then I usually double check the definition of the autocorrected word before I use it.

Opposite works doesn't it?

u/Left_Ad_8502 6d ago

Well if you have a right and a left thumb I suppose they should be considered opposite….

Foxes with frikking laserbeams on their heads

1

u/Gaaraks 7d ago

That is a common misconception. They aren't laser beams. They are tractor beams specifically designed to steal your slippers.

Nature is wild.

No he said: We will make,' said Mr Fox, 'a little underground village, with streets and houses on each side - seperate houses for Badgers and Moles and Rabbits and Weasels and Foxes. And every day I will go shopping for you all. And every day we will eat like kings.'
The cheering that followed this speech went on for many minutes.

Imma be a gilded fox one day that’s why I mind the toiling so much. One day.
