If squirrels took over, we’d have to toss out the old “hidden in plain sight” rule—those little bandits would have studied every survival manual and probably written a few of their own by now! My garden would basically become their snack bar. I can just picture a squirrel council debating whether to cut through chicken wire or dig under my raised beds. Maybe it’s time to start hanging supplies from fishing line booby traps or—better yet—create decoy stashes filled with lima beans (even squirrels have taste, right?).
Honestly, I imagine they’d unionize in about a week and demand tribute in the form of unshelled walnuts. Humans would be left learning to decipher squirrel signals just to keep what’s left of our peanuts. Anybody ever try to build an obstacle course around your food stores? I swear, squirrels see it as a challenge rather than a deterrent
