Why doesn't bigfoot use tools?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Bigfoot uses screwdrivers.

Nah, too many moving parts.

I saw Bigfoot Knapping with the queen.

Did he still have the Chinese menu in his hand?

I saw Bigfoot Knapping with the queen.

I saw Lon Chaney, Jr., walking with the queen. I wonder if either of them gets jealous.

I meant to say accurate throwing and tool creation. One wrong word and I'm accused of "BLAARGing". You could have asked why and I would have clarified, but instead you feel the need to make assumptions.

I'll make the answer a little simpler:

"Bigfoot" might not have the dexterity necessary for tool creation/knapping. The same way chimps and gorillas don't.

Since "Bigfoot" doesn't exist, you can give it any characteristics that you like.

The irony is strong in this one.

I'm tired of this forum's denialism.

Bigfoots do use tools! Sometimes human-made tools to open bean cans! Grabbing a piece of wood and using it knock trees IS using tools.

They also make shelters, nests, stick structures to mark their territories!

Oh, and they also keep pets.


C'mon folks, its April's fools and a bigfoot thread. You know you can do better.

 

[bruto]

Too clumsy, bad hands. A crow can pick up a stick, but poor Patty scissorhands can't seem to get a grip.

Wanna see a bigfoot tool?

Here's one:

Oh, and I had to add: anyone who honestly rully truly thinks that I "conclude " IT's BIGFOOT" for every odd thing that happens" is not only not using critical thinking skills, but not reading, or thinking about, one or the other or both, my posts. I'm one of the most skeptical posters on this site.In, er, the way the word actually means.

This isn't an assertion, it is a fact: the only true skeptics in the bigfoot field are proponents.

No, it's not an April Fools joke either.

ETA:

No bigfoot skeptic has begun to think about applying critical thinking to this topic.

I can't help uncomfortable facts. They're still facts.

If bigfoot doesn't use his tool then where do baby bigfoots come from?

 

[Mudcat]

I would like to say it's a romantic notion that there's this wild man living at one with nature that somehow outsmarts humanity's best efforts to find it and thwarts our best technology with ease.

Cynically, and probably more realistically, speaking it's probably more likely that Bigfoot proponents realize that tool usage would leave evidence.

[Hellbound]

A bigfoot used my tool.

At least, I'm pretty sure it was Bigfoot. I was still pretty drunk when I woke up next to it, and I didn't hang around long...

Yeah, but.

One wrong word and I'm accused of "BLAARGing".

victim-playing, classic BLAARG tactic.

No, it is the 766 posts, including your response here which fit 100% into the BLAARGing model of never acknowledging the obvious evidence yet again burying bigfoot under the mountain of it.

So instead it is victim-playing, and then repeating exactly the same evasion/diversion tactic:

"Bigfoot" might not have the dexterity necessary for tool creation/knapping. The same way chimps and gorillas don't.

Thank you for demonstrating selective attention in pretending the very post you quoted didn't mention, as have others, the non-knapping tool use by primates.

Is this a coincidence? Of course not. It is the game. You have all the intelligence to look up tool use in non-primates too. Like sea otters:

Using a rock on their belly as a tool to help smash shells is not the only example of tool use amongst sea otters.

I don't mind playing the game with you, but not because I would be so dull as to attempt convincing you of something you already know: that there is no bigfoot.

Instead this is the study of game-playing.

No, see, Bigfoot is more intelligent than anything.

You see, Bigfoot knows that tool use would leave traces which could be discovered, and evidence that would prove his existence. Adn the first rule of Bigfoot club is that no one, ever, ever, ever, anywhere, can know about Bigfoot club.

Makes mating a bit difficult for them, as they can't let their partner know they exist, so you can see why the species is in decline...
