http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/an-important-distinction I think this comic does a better job illustrating the difference than I ever could.
@archangelic@cybre.space http://www.scp-wiki.net/log-of-anomalous-items might be a fun read. You might need to look through the rest of the site some to understand it completely though.
I'm now wondering in what sort of culture that this: https://youtu.be/mg3bFxdAZsY would be the most practical way for boiling water.
@typhlosion That could be a fun way to explain why cats will just jump at nothing. Somebody could be telekinetically petting them and we wouldn't even know it!
@Felthry This sounds like a plot of a Doctor Who episode. Really wish I had the creative output to try doing something with this.
Modular
@Felthry There's a card game called CardBots that I imagine could be strikingly similar. Basically it's a card drafting game where players take from a pool of weapons/misc. tech to create and battle giant mechs. Replace tech with biological parts (or combine both if you like!) and the mech with the players themselves, and there you go!
The only issue I see is having a 'deck' of full sized body parts doesn't seem that practical to carry around.
@Felthry My best guess is it comes across as condescending somehow.
I wish I could provide more insight beyond that, but I'm probably just as clueless as you. I've only learned it's a thing that just isn't done and moved on.

lewd?
@Felthry @Oneironott I'm more a fan of ears as erogenous zones.

I might have read a few stories that involve elves of some kind.
I also blame cat-girls in general.
Granted this obviously doesn't work for all of my music library, but there's a surprising portion this could happen with.
@typhlosion Belated greetings.
Lewd story idea
Character_1: Monster-person of a type you'd expect to force themselves on innocent girls. Hopelessly naive when it comes to sex.
Character_2: Outwardly an innocent girl, but is one of the biggest perverts you'd ever meet. Lusts after Character_1 for obvious reasons.
Plot: Character_2 attempts through various convoluted means to get Character_1 to have sex with her, failing spectacularly every time.

Saw the article earlier today. They kinda cheated and introduced their own buffer-overflow bug into the DNA sequencer's coding. It only worked somewhere around a third of the time because of parallelization of data input and the fact that it could be read backwards instead of forwards. So to get it consistent not only would the code need to be super tiny, but a palindrome as well!
@Terrana@tootplanet.space @Felthry Yes it is, although DA places his name a bit out of the way.
@Felthry I don't think I've shared Cryptid-Creations with you yet and I realized I absolutely should have by now. They do daily paintings of absurdly cute critters. It used to be all puns or wordplay for the subject, but they started branching out a bit recently.
