What's the worst non-people mammal?

Pandas. Too dysfunctional to live, too cute to be allowed to die without soaking up entirely too much in charitable donations.

[ZBridges]

Disregard, mispost.

Probably this sad creature.

Do explain.

I must confess, I'm curious what doesn't make sense to you.

EDIT: Never mind, then.

May I ask why you think I’m bad at being a mammal?

He doesn't, NG. The link he posted takes whoever clicks it to their own profile.

Oh. Thanks for clarifying

Though the current theory does seem to be that NG isn't a mammal at all, which would certainly disqualify her from being the second-worst one.

Don't be dicks. Naturegirl is people.
But then again, so is soylent green.

Drop bears. They are a menace to all living things. A shocking percentage of Australians suffer from spinal injuries as they grow older, due to constantly looking upwards to scan the trees, gutters and lamp posts for any signs of the murderous little bastards.

Still, a better fate than that of those who don't stay hyper-vigilant, I suppose...

They mostly get tourists, so it's a net win there.


I have also learned that horses have been bred to have weird genetic issues that can make them just regular "too muscular" or "freakishly too muscular, also can't always walk without falling over." But that's only certain breeds.

Pandas. Too dysfunctional to live, too cute to be allowed to die without soaking up entirely too much in charitable donations.

Could be. Similar breeding issues as with horses (don't do the thing they should be good at, because they overshot), except people didn't do it to them.

It's a very traditional forum joke, writing something negative like "Don't tell them, but I really hate this person" or positive like "The best person on the forums is this guy" and then it takes everyone who clicks on the link to their own profiles.

(It's because the way the forum code works is that if a profile shown but no one profile is specified, it defaults to show you your own profile. So when you click "my profile" it doesn't actually specify your account number it just lazily says "access profile", so if you link everyone to that address it defaults to direct everyone to their own profiles)

That’s an interesting code shortcut

Why are blue LEDs used as power indicators? Blue's an eye-piercing color at night, so why don't manufacturers go for a different color that doesn't strain the eyes as much?

[Frumple]

Because people thought they were pretty/stylish, and cultural inertia handled the rest. That's basically it -- that it's actively unhealthy for people to be around has been known for a while, but tech folks still use blue largely because people have been using blue for a while now and it's supposed to be the high-tech/fancy color.

For what it's worth, there's a slowly building sentiment against the shit as people spend more time around it (and computer screens, which share similar issues). It's just got to finish kicking in

Hammer works better.

My current PC has a soft white which is alright, but I do miss the classic 'menacing red'.
