Probably the only actual sovcit. Bigfoot has no need for your driver's license. Bigfoot does not recognize any court. Bigfoot travels.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He is the sovcits spirit animal.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

This makes more sense than a sovcit

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe Bigfoot pays his taxes?

Based on this graph of sightings over time, he's spending less time in the Pacific Northwest and increasing time in Florida.

https://www.core-wm.com/2024/07/02/navigating-floridas-unique-tax-environment-for-high-net-worth-individuals/

Florida has long been a magnet for high-net-worth individuals, thanks in large part to its favorable tax climate.

Florida’s most attractive tax feature is the absence of a state income tax. This applies to both earned income and income from investments, making it particularly appealing for high-income earners and retirees alike.

Florida does not impose estate or inheritance taxes, providing a substantial advantage for wealth preservation and transfer.

I figure he's probably using legal methods to shelter assets from taxes, rather than trying to illegally evade 'em.

I would call it a spurious correlation, except it's hard to measure the impact of the enthusiast meet-ups that Bigfoot leads...

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Well sure, he's got to be retired by now.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Based on the number of sightings on this map, I'm starting to think that maybe most people have just never seen a homeless person before....

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I know I'm not going to be the one who tells him he isn't!

[–] marduk@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Probably depends on if they are homosapiens or not. My guess is if they aren't, they'll be treated like any other animal and put in a cage

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

He doesn't have to be a homosapien, he could be a corporation instead!

If we assume Bigfoot exists and is intelligent, I would suggest they are more like an indigenous tribe or people like those un-contacted tribes in the Amazon rain forest or the folks on North Sentinel island.

Kind of left alone to manage and govern themselves.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bigfoot, if real, is an animal and thus not a citizen of any kind what-so-ever.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's just my fursona. I am not really a dog. ;)

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Humans are also animals lol

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Maybe, but why does he sound Australian?

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I've got a theory that Bigfoot sightings are frequently just people who dropped out of society to live a primitive life in the woods. In that case yeah, basically.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Nope, no passport. Deported! Maybe Canada can have him as part of an eventual trade deal /s

[–] Pacrat173@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Well Bigfoot isn’t a human so therefore wouldn’t be able to apply for citizenship to any country as far as I’m aware. So he could be stateless. Or if you consider Bigfoot more of a animal it’s just a animal

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

No because Bigfoot doesn't exist. Therefore he fails the "is" part of the assertion.

[–] DreamAccountant@lemmy.world -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's fiction. So, it's whatever you want it to be.

You don't know if he was on a weekend trip from Australia. it's fucking fiction.

They have an underground subway straight from Perth to Montana. It's still just stupid fiction.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Hey, this person is trying to convince us the subway from Australia to Montana is fake! Then it must be real!

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Yup. They are part of "They", as in the ones who are hiding the truth from us.
