I'd like to see this overlaid with a heat map showing the portion of the population that knows what squirrel tastes like.

In the meantime, the american grey squirrels are invading Europe, taking over the whole continent, driving the local ginger squirrels to extinction, spreading diseases and pests like ticks.

About time ya'll got reverse-colonized.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

You mean to tell me that even squirrels aren't nice to the gingers?

I wonder how many acorns [killer squirrels] can fit in the average person's anus...

Yes.The JPEG compression in this pic is so bad, parts of it are excessively hard to read.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Oh, okay, I didn't understand what you were getting at. Maybe lead with that, might help someone out.

Is Papua New Guinea safe from the squirrels?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There are 4 squirrels in my backyard. I've been feeding them for years. We would never fight, we're buddies.

You will be offered the role of ambassador when the time comes.

Finally, my good nature is rewarded!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

All two of them ;)

TIL Hawaii doesn’t have squirrels

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They have invasive little chickens instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And loads of mongooses too!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Someone should do "When the mongooses took over". Where's the Dwigt Schrute we deserve?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why ... why are you mapping our numbers and pitching us against you?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Don't worry about it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

can we have one for canada please?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Just one? They have 600 million, ask for two

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why does that big red square state near the bottom have so many more squirrels than any of its neighbours?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's New Mexico, and a good question.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

My knowledge is limited to Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul but it looks kind of deserty.

Maybe it has the same number of squirrels but way fewer people?

Or maybe squirrels like meth.

[–] norske 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

New Mexico just has a smaller human population than its neighbor states. Makes the ratio seem high.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Huh. Now that you mention it, the whole thing might just be a population scarcity map.

Edit: Except for Hawaii

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That explains ME vs NH but not ME vs VT, unless it's just the size of ME encompassing more squirrels

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's that even supposed to say?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Range of 2 ratios (11:1 to 20:1), and then 21:1 or higher.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I was just thinking about this the other day when I saw a gang of squirrels trying to murder each other while another fat ass drug a slice of pizza up a tree.

What a pleasant coincidence.

Squirrel to human ratio in my neighborhood: About 570:1... despite my dog reducing that number a little.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Fight? They can fucking have it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have my doubts about the methodology on the state per state breakdown. Michigan is all forests once you get north of Flint, so there is no way yhe squirrel to human ratio is less than 4:1. Same with Ohio

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's because this is basically a human population map (with the exception of Hawaii), no? Michigan and Ohio are still very populous states, so it offsets the squirrels.
