Hilarious!
Hysterical...worth my time...
Going back to watch it again.
Had Bear burgers...but not Bison burgers...yet.
I watched it last night and it had me in stitches...especially the surprise ending!
Some very talented people out there conceiving and making short videos like this.
Someone should run that through an AI detector, it looks suspicious.
Very well done!
And so realistic that itβs concerning.

But I do wish they would have used Trump instead of RFK Jr.
That would have annoyed the left a thousand times more.
HATE the end, LOVE the rest.
They're most excellent - those frontiersman were sinfully wasteful leaving the bodies while just harvesting tongues.
You can find them at Fuddrucker's if there's a restaurant near you, and some of the better steakhouses have it available.
More entertaining (and informative) than the last 10,000 politician speeches
Funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks...
Especially the bison burger ending...
Instead, I get a splash page encouraging me to join x.
Which I have no interest in.
Previously, as little as a week ago, the videos played fine.
elon must be getting desperate for revenue after his starship failures.
Maybe somebody has a Rumble link to the video. Anybody?
I say we turn the bison loose in Congress.
π€£ Bison burgers at the end...hmmm
Buffalo were harvested because eastern machine shops needed the hides to make drive belts. Back in the 1870s thru the 1890s, a series of machine tools would be driven off of a single overhead line shaft, driven by a steam engine. Cow hide belts weren't strong enough, but buffalo hide was very good for this.
(Thomas Edison became rich because he started attaching mass produced electric motors to the machine tools, such as lathes, drills, shapers, mills. He then patented the improvement and got royalties.)
This came along as the herds dwindled. Making the power tools independent of a line shaft also allowed manufacturers to move the tool to where it was best needed, rather than near the driving shaft.
Oh no - I’m always open to correction. I must have read one of those Zinn history books. I don’t think Jonny Quest or his father ever finished him off before the show ended.
Seriously though, that’s great that the beasts weren’t totally wasted while getting nearly wiped out. Different times under loose territorial rule with no thoughts on over-harvesting - though making life tough for the Indians was considered a plus. No way to know how much the ecosystem was altered while beavers were turned into hats, either.
Edison - hero genius of the Industrial Revolution but utterly devoid of human compassion. We’re so fortunate George Westinghouse’s electrical plan won out or we’d have been inundated with booster substations everywhere.
But hey; I’m still looking for the buffalo gals that were supposed to come out tonight.
