The badger moniker comes from lead miners that initially settled the Wisconsin territory. They often didn't even bother building homes at first and just lived in their wildcat lead mines, like a badger.

I'm in new mexico and saw a badger crossing the road while I was driving to work. It stopped in the middle of the road, turned towards me and waited, like it was deciding whether or not to fuck up the large metal thing coming towards it. Then slowly turned and continued on it's way when it decided I wasn't worth it. No fear whatsoever.

TBH, “reveals itself by shivving you anyway” is probably closer to the truth with Brittons and their tea.

Dog had a bone to pick with that badger

I'm pretty sure you made this up, so i believe it completely.

This is all true but it's missing a key detail. The Australian badger is actually completely unrelated to the European and American badgers (which are mustelids). The Australian badger is a marsupial most closely related to the Tasmanian devil.

I don't want to know if this is true or not. Nobody look it up.

Those are the ones related to drop bears, right? I mean they've gotta be.

Of course Australian badgers would do this.

You had me in the first half

"oh dear oh dear i'm so sorry about this, i really am."

Having met dachshunds, and having met American badgers, I'm going to put my bet on "poorly"

A couple hundred years of bred instincts aren't going to save the walking hotdog from the meth bear

I have three dachshunds. Two minis, Mary & Maizie, and a full size, Monty.

Mary we often call a little wolverine, because she can be vicious when she plays, making the most horrific noises you've ever heard out of any creature, much less someone that looks so absolutely disgustingly cute and adorable.

Her sister, Maizie, is the sweetest, kindest, shyest and nicest creature. Unless she sees a rat. Then it's terrifying. She makes no sound as she runs at full speed, and snaps it up and shakes at the speed of sound. I don't think her feet even touch the ground.

Monty is the biggest baby, he just wants to sleep and cuddle, even when he was a puppy. Unless you touch his mama. I am not allowed to hug my own mother, because he stands there and barks and howls and shoves his body between whoever's touching her and her. Lol.

If anything of them could take a badger it would Maizie, but I don't think even she could.

Also, this was originally supposed to be much shorter and more on topic, but then I had a chance to describe my dogs, and, y'know, muh babies!

It depends on how many dachshunds you're willing to lose.

I remember learning that after my dad told me stories about badgers near the Minnesota farm where he grew up killing dogs significantly larger than dachshunds and thinking “how the fuck does that work??”

could one say, they don't give a shit?

Cook meth?

No, this is a wolverine:

It's about twice as big as an American badger.
