    Which is terribly underperforming when you consider how many more dogs exist in proximity to humans compared to hippos. If a prankster wizard suddenly conjured a few million hippos into homes around the world you can bet they wouldn’t settle for merely snuffing out 50x-70x more humans. On the upside, they’d definitely chomp a lot of people we don’t like too

      I honestly don’t know what the big deal is. I saw hippos in lots of homes growing up. All they wanted to eat were marbles.

        I encountered that a few times growing up too, I’ll never forget the ravenous way they murdered every marble they saw without a hint of concern for the devastated marble families left behind .

        No, they live mostly off the crumbs of peanut butter on toast.
