Now you guys made me miss alfalfa sprouts

[Avarice]

my nightvisions's shoddy (I think I can thank blue eyes for that)

blue eyes = bad nightvision?... I thought it was the opposite.  I have very blue eyes, and sunlight is painful to me.  I never go out in daylight without sunglasses, unless it's extremely overcast.  My nightvision is definitely above average.  Most of the time I'm at home, even, I prefer to sit in the dark by only the light of my monitor.  It's all I need to do most things.

I can vouch for this sentiment.
I have blue eyes and my night vision is better than some of my friends without blue eyes and I also have light sensitivity.
Sounds like a folk tale

Well guinea pigs are kept for eating, so that way you feed it to yourself too.

So if I feed a guinea pig arsenic (which its immune to) and then feed the guinea pig to my mortal enemy...

TIL that in France extremely violent anime like Hokuto no Ken were censored by changing the lines in the show to make serious situations goofy.

This murder scene in City Hunter for example.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Encore mort" means "I'm dead again", the context being that blondie had already been supposedly killed.

guinea pigs WERE actually domesticated for consumption, probably (imo) because the new world lacked many domesticatable to non-modern day people animals like the old world had,

I don't know why they chose small furry thing (guinea pig) over very large one (Capybara). Unless they did chose both or something.

Guineapigs were easier to keep fenced (and alive). The tribes that domesticated them had small, round, single family huts, with a stick and grass corral fence around it for the guineapigs. They don't need much besides some leaves and seeds, which could be provided from a family's cooking leftovers.
Capybaras need strong fences, water for swimming, mud, and tons of food.

Plus a guinea pig can't bite your hand off

Packers have (more or less) beat the Seahawks for their first win of the season, at the first time of asking.

There were some... interesting officiating calls during the game.

Also they breed like rodents.

Also they're called guinea pigs because they were literally the metaphorical pigs of the region. Or so I had an appiffany of earlier and decided was right. It makes a lot of sense though doesn't it?
