re: NSFW impressively overendowed cartoon dragon 

@typhlosion @Edelwood So _very_ pretty.

I wonder if it's possible to beat Super Mario World without killing any enemies other than bosses? I saw something about how speedrunners often kill yoshis, and that got me thinking about a "humane" speedrun category.

Why do we call Germany that, when its own people call it Deutschland? Why did the term Dutch get applied to people from the Netherlands, instead of translating Nederlander to Netherlander, when the German people call themselves Deutsch?

If someone is genderfluid, but their gender only changes very slowly, would it be apt to say their gender is very viscous?

@Caudle As a mysophobic person, it's not quite universal.

@dodec Oh, they look like someone with stories to tell.

@Caudle If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer. I'm all for getting people more into this side of the internet, away from all the corporate nonsense.

@Caudle The circles we're in, it's very unusual to see someone who's on both. I don't know how much effort it would be to change it over here to fit the longer character limit.

I'd also recommend looking at instances running customized versions of mastodon, as there are many, such as awoo.space, where you have a much longer or even unlimited post length.

@Caudle Your threads do seem longer than they need to be. You don't seem to be using the full character allowance; are you merely copying from birdsite?

@noiob @Jo A soldering iron seems like a lot of power to ask of USB.

A possibly related phenomenon is called crown shyness – certain species of trees will very politely avoid overshadowing each other in a forest canopy, leaving gaps between each others' branches.

Mostly trees of the same species will do this, but different species of tree have been observed doing this too.

Again, no one's entirely sure how the trees do this, and some botanists are probably arguing about it somewhere right now.

@funkeh Oh, and can I claim quilava on behalf of my headmate @Felthry?

@funkeh I'm a hybrid arcanine/ninetales, does that count?
