What if Giraffes ruled the world?

Asked by fremen_warrior (5510points) July 25th, 2012

What would an all-giraffe civilization be like? What books/movies/talk-shows would we see? Would giraffes wage wars? Would there be minorities? Would zebras do all the heavy lifting? etc.

There would be wars. Giraffes are clique ish and territorial. There would be minorities, too. The shows and books would all be about trees and food.

Computer keyboards would have to be a lot larger…

There goes my trees.
Giraffes left to run amok all over the world would decimate trees and other plant life causing a lowering of oxygen in the atmosphere which would cause organisms to begin to reduce in size, and ultimately we would all end up dwarfs, even the Giraffes.
Bad idea. lol

Females would rub against tree trunks to make some of their spots look bigger. Males would ogle them and debate the merits and demerits of large spots.

There would be a lot of neck bashing, generally a tall order!

The ceilings of houses would be higher, and all cars would have sunroofs.

Humans would be pets that are kept around to scratch unreachable spots. Wait! Is there and unreachable spot for a giraffe? So scratch that. The world would be covered in a strong piss smell.

There would be a lot less shade in the world.

Ever thought how long the bed will be? and how big houses? and how tall cars to sit in? One floor would be equal to around three to five floors! And finally Apple would make no profit out of long long earphones!

Have you seen the horns on their heads? They’re the devils greyhounds in disguise, I sense trouble is afoot, or should that be at hand?

Giraffe orgies would result in their necks knotting with others.

Blind executioners who want to perform beheadings would NOT be discriminated against.
Makers of men’s ties would have to expand their work spaces.

All other animals would be compelled to lick grape popsicles.

They would release their buddies from jail, a.k.a. zoos.

Why isn’t this a General question?

Spots would be the new black in fashion terms. Nobody would ever wear leopard print again. Beauty would be all about long legs and… horniness.

I denno, but if they start ruling us like tyrants and being all asshat, I’m gettin’ my axe.

A 110 story building would be REALLY tall. Solid wood doors would use up whole trees.

Imagine a basketball league with giraffe players. If they use their mouth to grab the ball, that’s the opposing team well and truly fucked. Unless they’re birds with big ass beaks, like toucans.
