  • Sir Terry Pratchett. Actually, probably counts as multiple because the opening to The Shepherds Crown makes me bawl like a child, and it’s pretty much a step-by-step guide for mourning.

    Discworld has been my comfort series for a long time. I have read most of the books more times than I can count. Spent months tearing through multiple a day.

    Of course, his condition was known amongst the fans, we had all known it was going to be sooner than later, but it felt like a long chapter of my life was closed. I had looked forward to every release, cherished them. The man’s work had been beside me through some of the hardest times, always bringing a smile back to my face.


  • We have three options here:

    All dairy products are actually non-dairy equivalents that happened to just take the original names.

    There are equally intelligent milk-producing species that either keep themselves in a milk producing state or are otherwise forced into said state.

    Or

    There is an unseen slave caste of lesser intelligent members of species that are harvested for their products.






  • Your average retail employee is not paid enough to give a shit. Just follow two simple rules: Don’t let management catch you, and don’t leave trash out. Those things end up making it our problem.

    Can also be worth asking if there’s an unadvertised sample program. Like at my bakery, we have an option to buy cookies by the pound. I’m not supposed to bring up samples to customers, and they’re mainly supposed to be limited to kids, but if anyone asks me? Fuck yeah, which flavor you want? They’re mostly going to get tossed out anyway.


  • Sorry for being behind on replying.

    So, one that I don’t really get why it grosses people out, but female opossum can stuff a decent chunk of their own face into their pouch. Like, double over and just get up in there. They keep it fairly clean, and can retrieve dead babies(more babies than nipples, some just fail to develop), sometimes snacking on them.

    The reality of “playing dead” can get people. I have watched crowds blanche as we broke the illusion of them just “falling over”. They do fall over often, but it’s accompanied by voiding their stomach. They look and smell diseased when they do it. Never had one actually do it on stage, our ambassadors were heavily worked with before ever doing a public appearance, but just being able to give a first hand explanation got some fun reactions.

    On the topic of opossum shit, this one is getting well known, but can still catch people off guard: They do feces recovery, like many species! Just handfuls of their own shit, shoveled on in. They also prefer to use a waterway as a bathroom, so they sometimes dip their tails to act as a catch for the feces. They’re just… They’re covered in it. Yet they are surprisingly clean animals!
