Should that be regarded is a minor mistake, or a threat to the structure of the entire thread?

Is the sky falling?

Solitaire1 · 02-28-2026, 10:30 PM

Wouldn't PoohBear be the expert on a falling sky? Then again, would what fell down from the sky be more of a concern? What if a pack of honey badgers fell from the sky?

poohbear_nc · 02-28-2026, 10:38 PM

What sky are you standing under?

Could it be that a plane carrying wild animals as transporting them to a Zoo but an accident resulting in the honey badgers being dropped from the plane? Considering how tough honey badgers are, couldn't they survive a mile-long fall to the ground?

Splat? Unless they fell into a snowdrift perhaps?

Does anyone know the terminal velocity of a honey badger?

Martinoptic · 03-01-2026, 03:14 PM

Would it not depend on how it's falling? With its feet extended sideways would TV be less than if it was in a ball? Could it get into the delta position?

Is a honey badger capable of flight?

Solitaire1 · 03-01-2026, 07:15 PM

Judging by the toughness of a honey badger (they can survive just about any attack [there's a video that shows one covered with porcupine quills and it doesn't even slow it down] and they are just mean for the sake of being mean), couldn't they survive something as simple as a long fall?

Is a honey badger capable of flight? The question should be is a honey badger is capable of more than one flight?

Have you never heard the old saw about all mushrooms are edible at least once?

Solitaire1 · 03-02-2026, 04:28 PM

Could honey badgers be like mean and aggressive flying squirrels (which can't really fly but can glide)? Could it be that honey badgers don't care if they get hurt, they will just go after the one(s) who caused it pain?

Could the honey badger thought process be as follows?

"He hurt me, KILL!!!"

DNSB · 03-02-2026, 06:52 PM

Does a honey badger have the patagium that gliding mammals use to glide? Is not the largest gliding mammal the giant flying squirrel with a maximum weight of ~4.3KG? Would a 9KG honey badger with average limb length and a full patagium have a glide angle in the 60°-70° range?

Can I get myself out of this intellectual blackhole? Did I need to know that modern wingsuits can achieve a 14°-22° glide angle?

Do they use an Acme bat suit like Wile E. Coyote?
