    wouldn’t it be six?

    She has two wolves plus two baby wolves

    Each baby wolf would also have two wolves.

      So 8? Her two inner wolves, the two baby wolves and their two wolves. 2+2+2*2=8

        Huh??? No it isn’t 8, the fuck?

        She has two babies, that is three wolves each made up of two wolves inside them: 3*2 or 2+2+2

        In your equation, you say 2 (mom) + 2(kid1) + 2(kid2) which has already taken care of the number of wolves (as each has two inside them) — but then you multiply this summation by two, why?

        I guess you’re splitting it uo differently but it still doesn’t make sense: you’re saying 2 (mom’s wolves) + 2 (kids) + (2 kids wolves) which covers everything because for each kid there is another wolf which you include in the 3rd 2 of your equation, but then you multiply it by two for some reason.

        Even if you were counting the host body as yet another wolf that brings it to 9 not 8.

    What is the whole 2 wolves idea about anyway? I’ve seen memes parodying it but don’t know what it’s actually referring to.

      It’s from like a motivational thing

      “You have two wolves fighting inside of you. One is darkness and despair, one is light and hope”

      “Which one is going to win?”

      “Whichever one you feed”

        Thanks. I’m struggling to write a reply that expresses genuine gratitude to you for explaining that and the fact that I think it’s a dumb concept without it making it sound like my thanking you is sarcastic.

          Oh no worries haha, yeah it’s a silly story. Basically just a fake deep way of saying “be positive”
