You shouldn’t repeat rumors you heard without any actual evidence at hand to back them up. That’s just baseless gossip. It’s poison spewing from your mouth to the ears of anyone who hears you.

I’ve also read convincing theories that he was on the spectrum, which could explain a lot of his challenges interacting with people, as well as his obsessive tendencies.

3 comedy points.

It’s tribalism, embraced by people who are proud of just barely graduating from animal status.

Who sneezed on my beans?

Then he runs out of quarters for laundromats and starts using ovens.

That’s how a lot of marketing astroturfing works though.

You let people post things organically, then you signal boost the shit out of them, and nobody can claim it’s false or contrived, because OP really did just post a thing they like.

Let’s be honest here. Wanting to be a talking animal isn’t really any less weird than wanting to yiff one.

Trying to distance yourself from the latter by claiming the former is a futile effort.

Sure there’ve been talking animals since humans have been telling stories, but what seems to be new is the rando who’s always there in the comments to say “Yo, I’d totally tap Tigger’s ass”, “That Coyote character is a snack.”

Amen to that. Monoculture is bad, in every context.

The Vulcans have it right: Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

I definitely notice it with a push mower, but there’s also the issue of the grass blades themselves always being cut in one direction. That’ll produce a noticable effect over time if you don’t vary mowing vector.
