This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Ha ha, "looks like he's going to call HR for inappropriate contact"

For the record, there has never been a documented attack of a healthy wolf on a person in North America. Obviously if they get rabies or distemper or something all bets are off.

You are wrong. Candice Berner, Kenton Carnegie and Marc Leblond were all deemed to have been killed by healthy wolves.

There have been at least 24 non-fatal wolf attacks by healthy wolves since 2000 in north America alone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wolf_attacks_in_North_America

There's also never been a documented case of a wolf contacting HR

[–] Kimjongtooill@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 day ago

There would be NDAs involved, so take that data with a grain of salt.

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 20 points 1 day ago

That's because HR will anonymise the contact data before publishing

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 day ago

depends on how many furries are in your company

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

that may be true but you should consider that HR departments are notorious for failing to document complaints from members of socially-disadvantaged groups

Another element that could be at play here:

He thought it was a dog.

Dogs, because we domesticated them, have muscles around their eyes, that allow them to make eye/eyebrow expressions.

Wolves do not have these. Because they're the ones we did not domesticate for millenia.

So, if he was expecting dog expressions... wolves literally cannot make the same facial expressions.

They essentially always look like they have RBF, in comparison to a dog.

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Interestingly some dog breeds also still lack those muscles, like huskies

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Huh! You're right, I did not know that.

Huskies are... much closer to being actual wolves though, genetically speaking.

Seems like this applies to malamutes and samoyeds as well...?

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder do dingoes have them. I haven't been able to find any information on that yet

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 28 minutes ago

My, ahem, blind guess would be probably not, as they've... not been widely and thoroughly domesticated for 20,000+ years?

There have been documented healthy wolf attacks in North America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wolf_attacks_in_North_America

Some on the list are rabid, but the list also includes both captive and predative wolf attacks, including fatalities.
