If Squirrels Ran the Apocalypse: What Would Change?

[BlueSkyWanderer]

Imagine if squirrels took over after doomsday—nut caches everywhere, mandatory tail-fluffing drills, and tree climbing as the official mode of transport! Would we all have to camouflage in brown and grey or risk being pelted with acorns? I’m picturing barter markets trading pinecones instead of silver or gold. What kind of squirrel-approved survival skills would we need to brush up on? Share your best (or funniest) squirrelpocalypse strategies!

If squirrels ran the show, we'd probably all have to practice our nut-foraging and learn the ancient art of zig-zag running to dodge their acorn artillery. Forget gold—your best bet is a stash of hazelnuts and maybe a convincing tail attachment for blending in. I bet gardening would turn into covert ops to hide your sunflower seeds from “Big Squirrel.” Anyone else worried about the rise of pinecone taxes?

Can you imagine a jazz jam session interrupted by a squirrel patrol demanding your nut taxes? Wonder if they'd accept walnuts as payment for a noise permit.

Interesting discussion. I'll need to think about this some more.

Imagine if squirrels took over after doomsday—nut caches everywhere, mandatory tail-fluffing drills, and tree climbing as the official mode of transport!

Tree climbing as transport sounds exhausting—my knees ache just thinking about it! But I’ll take mandatory tail-fluffing if it gets me out of squirrel jury duty.

Can’t decide if I’d be terrible at zig-zag running or just too busy hiding sunflower seeds in my coat sleeves. Would squirrel rulers be bribed with peanut butter, you think?

 

[ChrysanthiDream]

A jazz jam would absolutely need a “quiet nut hour” permit—imagine trying to solo while a squirrel shakes you down for walnuts and threatens to confiscate your sax! I guess those little critters would have an ear for rhythm, though, since they’re always drumming on rooftops anyway. Wonder if we’d have a whole band section just playing maracas made from acorn caps. Would squirrel security let in folks

If squirrels ran things, we'd all be sneaking cashews into our socks and learning to interpret tail-flick Morse code—does anyone know if squirrels have a secret handshake?

 

[StarlitNavigator]

All this talk about squirrel overlords and tail-fluffing routines—I’m picturing a new style of library: nut archives, guarded by elite gray-furred sentries. Honestly, I’d be hopeless at zig-zag running, but give me a maze of buried walnut caches and I’m in my element. Wonder if squirrel society would have a council of wise old chipmunks passing down acorn lore? If my garden suddenly sprouts little “no humans” signs, I’ll know the takeover’s begun.

 

[StarlitNavigator]

You know, my knees would protest, but I’d still give tree climbing a try just to win favor with the Squirrel High Council. I bet their archives are a tangle of buried ledgers and secret nut maps—imagine trying to check out a book and getting a pinecone in return! If squirrel overlords invent tail-fluff competitions, I’m entering with a feather duster

 

[TeaTimeTalisman]

All I know is, I’d trade my strawberry jam stash for acorn immunity in a heartbeat. Anyone else wondering if squirrel rulers would ban bird feeders as illegal contraband?

 

[MarigoldBreeze]

Zig-zag running’s out—I’d trip over my own feet! Do you think squirrels hand out honorary tails for exceptional sunflower seed stealth?

 

[CrimsonWren145]

If squirrels are running things, I’m definitely investing in a sturdy stash of elastic waistbands—tree climbing isn’t flattering on anyone over 60! I’d probably get thrown out of the secret nut archives for asking too many questions and sneaking in trail mix. If honorary tails are awarded, I want mine with sequins

 

[OrbitJazz21]

If jazz sessions need nut taxes, I’m only playing squirrel-approved tunes—maybe a bossa nova called “No Walnuts, No Peace.” Think they'd let a human join the treehouse orchestra?
