“The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a bunny in the depths of an ether binge. And I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. Probably at the next gas station.”
A new study suggests that the naked mole rat is basically immune to aging: https://elifesciences.org/articles/31157
Specifically, "unlike all other mammals studied to date, and regardless of sex or breeding-status, the age-specific hazard of mortality did not increase with age, even at ages 25-fold past their time to reproductive maturity."
@DialMforMara @cassolotl@dev.glitch.social ooooh! I haven't read much of the Chanur series, but I like this very much, yes. :D
Pooka is lying on the bed looking Very Alert, but not particularly upset. Nar has vanished under the bed and probably won't be coming out anytime soon...

@DialMforMara @cassolotl@dev.glitch.social given that they're shapeshifters, they can change genders at whim and will. some "settle" on one configuration and keep it most or all of their lives, but most go through "phases" of trying various ones out. technically, an adult non-breeding member of this species has four genders to choose from--male, female, agender, and undecided.
@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social @DialMforMara a child-gendered person is anybody of that species under the age of 500 years, regardless of their current genital configuration; they're assumed to still be "experimenting." once an individual passes 500 years they're no longer child-gendered. it's recognized as an arbitrary cutoff, but given the other options available it's considered an acceptable boundary. ;)
@DialMforMara @cassolotl@dev.glitch.social my shape-shifty dragon species has seven genders: male, female, agender, undecided, transitioning, child, and unknown/undeclared. "unknown/undeclared" is usually reserved for other species, or situations where there's no "signals" to decode which of their species-gender a person is. "transitioning" is specific to shapeshifters, and has to do with magical mechanics of reproduction.
@Kistaro @anthracite okay this has potential. the more you mine the more it's ~inflated~ lololwat
@anthracite I would make some joke about "mining PornCoin" but something tells me PornCoin already exists and I don't really want to know.
@zebratron2084 @acetone_kitten Thursday works for me! /woot/

(translation: my brain is currently cheese; tomorrow is pretty much fine for me; if I could get a ride either to or home from that would be awesome but isn't necessary; have I mentioned that my brain is currently cheese)
