Can dig them right next to my indestructible hut think I'd have time to run back in before the rex gets me, read somewhere they might not be much faster than humans anyway

I've watched Jurassic Park 1 at least 23 times I have this

This is a fun idea

1: Keister some fentanyl in, poison the food with fentanyl, set food outside hut.

Depending on the dosage it will either die or be very weak for a while.

2: refuse knife, demand shovel. Dig giant holes to trap it. Possibly fill holes with sharp sticks so it's impaled or at least fucks up a foot or two. Bonus points for digging smaller holes all around the Hut then piss it off and watch it break it's legs.

3: depending on how intelligent it really is, you could possibly get it to do it's self great bodily harm. I caught an angry squirrel in a cage once. The squirrel just headbutted the cage over, and over and over. By the time I'd gotten to it it'd already busted it's head open pretty horribly, like it hurt to watch. Didn't stop it though, just kept headbutting that cage in a.. rage? Not even "normal" headbutts, these were full body jumps from one side of the cage to the other. It was trying to use it's head as a battering ram I guess. So maybe provoke the rex and run to your indestructible hut. Maybe it knocks itself senseless trying to get to you. Personally I wouldn't bet my life on that but eh, you do you.

4: just.. traps. Summon your inner Hunter. "What would kill this thing and how to I make that happen? Deep hole strategy again, collect some vines, scale a tree, hoist down with the vines above the hole and now you're bait.

Idk

As was pointed out I guess I'd have to dig the holes close(r) to the indestructible hut.

Tie the knife to a long stick then wait for sleepy time.. still idk how you'd go about getting away

If you could craft a shovel you could dig a deep hole and trap it maybe, then stick-knife it's eyes out. Or a bunch of relatively small holes so it breaks a leg, maybe sprains an ankle and is weakened..

Oh this is actually a pretty decent idea!

Just dig deep a deep enough hole that it won't be able to escape then lure it in.

Bonus points if you dig the hole down path from a creek then drown it, it'd have to be a pretty big hole though.

Once it's stuck in the hole just tie the knife to a long stick and poke away.

Maybe sharpen a bunch of sticks and have them at the bottom of the hole so when it falls in it at least fucks it's feet up or possibly is impaled depending on the size of stick.

Idk I'm starting to think fuck the knife, just give me a shovel, a month may be steep for such a big hole but I've done enough digging for a living to know it's possible, if you're motivated enough.

bonus: alternatively, dig relatively small holes everywhere so it breaks it's legs

Exactly. Not sure why cars are the exception other than profit

Though in retrospect I do retract, or admit maybe my view on only allowing cars that go to 70 mph is flawed, can't hate on people that want fast cars, it's up to them if they want to upgrade and have something nice, I do too, but it is definitely excessive

Exactly! It's ridiculous. My father is disabled and on a fixed income. He has insurance but his treatment still costs him thousands a year, even though he only receives a few thousand to live on.

Exactly, and tbh if we stopped making vehicles today people would still be driving many years from now, feel like we should really.. stop mining the earth for resources to then use making things people don't even need so we can be richer.. just make vehicles repairable again and focus on that.

Maybe, instead of everyone buying brand new cars we can just upgrade our old ones, like a PC.

So you want the latest Dodge body to look cool? Okay, we'll just pop that onto you're already existing frame, no need in buying a new engine/chassis etc if you're only seeking an aesthetic change anyway

Speaking of that.. all this $ people pay for faster cars when they'll only really drive them between 30-70mph is ridiculous. Why even make commercial cars faster than the speed limit? Just so dummies can drive drunk at 120mph and hit a family head on? Until we get an Autobahn there's just no need for it.

No need for 16 year olds, anyone really to have a V8 with 900 horsepower just give them something that will go the speed limit and save the fucking resources

When I buy a vehicle, I touch it, if it's solid metal hey awesome, if it's plastic or fiber whatever I just nope out because I've seen what happens when they're in the smallest of accident.

I can pull a ding out of metal, or even just stop by pull apart and pop a replacement door or whatever off something similar. Can't do that when half the frame shatters in impact, might as well buy another car which is exactly what they want us to do

I feel like it would make a huge difference. They're planning obsolescence for vehicles and equipment now too. I have a tractor from the 70's that's still running fine, why? Because they used to make them with the idea that the consumer can and should be able to perform their own maintenance and repair, for a farmer back then a tractor was a huge purchase and was expected to last many years. I

Meanwhile, the new ones require being brought to the shop for all kinds of things, many can only be fixed with software that most people don't have, if available at all.

Instead of repairing what they have, companies want people to just buy new stuff every couple of years if not sooner.

It's just sad when stuff from 50 years ago will still last longer than something you purchase today.

Regarding automotives and equipment, old machinery could last forever really, with the right replacement parts, but those are getting extremely hard to find as well with everyone just buying new instead of repairing what they have. It's something else..

Maybe not with smart devices, but the automotive industry is headed the same way. I can repair a truck from the 70's and keep it running forever with the right parts, and even with some not-so right ones.

Nowadays for example, a tractor or truck from 2020 can't be repaired like that, they're installing systems that we-the user and even our mechanics can't access so you absolutely HAVE to take it back to them for repair. That's just wrong, these trucks have absolutely no need for software like this, it's only purpose is to prevent people from repairing things they've already paid for.
