who the fuck let us brits have an empire when we created something we unironically call Zebra, Puffin or Pelican crossings, despite there being no resemblance to any of those animals in them, except MAYBE, TENTATIVELY, that the zebra crossing has black and white stripes.
...
that aren't zebra-like at all.

@Nine pelican comes from PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled, and pelican just being... close enough
anyway my favourite name is pegasus crossings that have a raised button for people on horses to reach
@Nine ive never seen one because i grew up in a semi-rural place that was quiet enough for horses to just go on the roads (or fields, which were plentiful). but apparently they exist!
@Nine also i guess... since cars exist... why would you take a horse to a city anyway...
@Felthry @g "Sandra, please?..."
"Ugh, fine, okay."
"look it's not as if I can take MYSELF to the shops, I'm a horse. I don't have those, Poseable tums?"
"Opposable thumbs"
"yeah those weird things. I got hooves, Sandra, Hooves."
"..."
"...I'll let you put the pretty saddle on me?"
"...alright deal. I guess I need some milk anyway"
"Yay!"
