How long do I get to pet the Jaguar before it kills me?

Yep, I've also gotten responses pretty reliably from professional artists, including those I'd assumed would be far too busy to answer (including the directors and writers of famous tv shows).

Yes but only once

Right? Must pet spicy floof!

Why’d you remove your own upvote? You’re allowed to like the smell of your own.

Non-journalists are soft too.

Shark's only smooth from front to back. Otherwise shark's sandpaper.

I remember when I went to an aquarium as a kid and touched the sting rays in the touch tank. That texture has stayed in my mind ever since. I still can't find anything it compares well to.

Are you looking for the Animal Smoothness Scale?

Stroked many a roo, wallaby and other macropods and they're not soft everywhere. More interesting is that there's no real give to their softness. They're solid muscle below the skin so you don't really want to poke them too hard. Does depend on the species too though - I ain't touching a red. A quokka and bettong are quite pliable and have that give when you stroke them, like a cat.

Domestic cat that is. When I stroked a cheetah it was all muscle and smooth but not soft, more like a deer

Animals vary from one to another as well though. Even in the same litter, you can have one with rough fur and one with fine soft fur. That's besides the fact that there are many breed of deer.

Us now 🥲

They definitely are, regardless of the direction.

Depends on the angle.

No

Only when they're trying to date you

although this is usually correct, here it is important for the joke that setup and punchline are seperated by anticipation.

First of its a joke with a set up and punchline. Secondly its a group chat as can be seen from the two hearts and group chats work differently.

hi

This is probably my biggest pet peeve. I stopped responding entirely, now I just wait until they ask their question. Eventually they'll learn.

I write all my messages like there will be a 5 day delay for a response. Some people think I am mistaking the chat app for an email service lol

Another thing that is irritating is when people

Type part of a sentence

And sends it

But continue on

And on

And you're just like

Are you done?

It's arguably less productive than asking to ask, as your attention is constantly grabbed to the new messages, instead of going back to your thing while waiting for the other to say their question

Do not the big soft cat
