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

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 51 points 5 days 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?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 40 points 5 days 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 4 days ago

The tigers were supporting each other too.

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

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 33 points 5 days ago

Hug the kitties :3

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 15 points 5 days ago

Didnt know you could have emotional support tigers, cool

What was he arrested for?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 16 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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 5 days ago (1 children)

That would suck. Their teeth are so sharp.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days 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 3 points 4 days 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 4 days 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!"

Good thing Hobbs looks like a doll to everyone else

insane man abuses tigers

[–] goldfish_brain@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Goals, honestly

[–] rippermonty@feddit.uk 5 points 5 days ago

Some days are hard 😭

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days 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 4 days ago

Now that's some fragile masculinity
