If only Randall had included a cabbage somewhere... 172.68.64.241 05:03, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

He included grass... --Kynde (talk) 06:50, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

The cabbage would consume nothing & nothing would consume the cabbage; it's a null value, so the mathematician left it out.

This "terrifying alternate universe" thing goes all the way back to the 5th century before the Common Era:

The lion shall lie down with the lamb, and they shall eat grass. Alas for the lion! He cannot eat grass, he shall be no more, unless he become a lamb. Alas for the grass! There are too many lambs, it cannot grow, it shall be no more, unless it become thorns. Alas for the lambs! They cannot eat thorns, they shall be no more, unless they eat each other - yea, unless some become lions, and they eat enough lambs so that the grass may grow again.

Ergo, Heaven is Hell. QED. 172.68.22.177 06:09, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Yep predators are important, but only if they are the 20 and the prey are the 400. Else it is extermination for the prey. And if the predators only eat those kinds of animals also the end for them. Luckily the rabbits could eat grass. But what should the grass eat now there are no more foxes? ;-) --Kynde (talk) 06:50, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

I wonder if the term hell is a reference to the paper A slow life in hell or a fast life in heaven: Demographic analyses of contrasting roe deer populations (2009). I couldn't find any earlier mention in this context. 172.71.130.199 07:51, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

It's probably a reference to the realm mentioned in most religions where eternal punishment is dished out to uncool individuals based on their bad deeds. "Hell" is the reference here, not an article on deer populations, lol. Psychoticpotato (talk) 17:58, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Anyone else with a sudden urge of writing a Zootopia fanfic ("No, Judy, NOOOOO!")? (Oh yes, the relevant pic exists. This is teh Internet.) 198.41.242.174 08:44, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

That last paragraph is completely incomprehensible at time of writing. --Mushrooms (talk) 11:37, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Apparently, AI doesn't have a problem with redundant content - for example, the double mention of "Fox Hell" in the Title Text with two separate paragraphs. The AI generator also seems intent on commenting excessively on typical xkcd humor patterns. I feel like some of this extra AI content needs to be trimmed down just a bit, as it doesn't add value and just makes it look like a school essay instead of a human-readable explanation.

Agreed.

Carnivorous grass?

I feel like this grass exists, even though I've never seen it named. Looks like grass, but puts out thorns tough enough to penetrate bike tires, & can sometimes be found as a patch growing extra thick around a snared animal carcass?

A quick search suggests that "carnivorous grass" with features like this is a trope in world-building games. However, you may be thinking of this real-world South American bromeliad. 172.71.150.128 17:45, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Couldn't fungi be classified as a carnivorous "grass"? Psychoticpotato (talk) 18:00, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
