No, the guy wasn't fucking the gator. I mean I'm pretty sure I would remember that if he was.

For some reason the ratio of employees to lowkey furry lovers would seem higher in the IT world.

The furry fandom is basically designed to be a welcoming community for kind-of-dorky, socially inept people, especially queer people, who care a lot about the Internet working properly because without it their community would cease to exist. The Venn diagram between that and IT people isn't quite a circle, but there's a longstanding joke that if someone ever blew up a major furry convention the Internet would go down for good within a day.

If anything, I'm surprised we don't have more of them on here. I know we have a half-dozen or so, but I would think there'd be more. Maybe the furries don't get into roadgeeking much because it's too hard to drive a car with paws.

Since I'm into D&D I end up finding out a lot about what the furries are up to secondhand. The D&D and furry communities are more or less next door neighbors. There are a few D&D character species you can choose (tabaxi and dragonborn especially but there are also obscure ones like the harengon) which result in characters that would fit in either. So a lot of stuff ends up going over the fence in both directions.

Well, now you've made me an ally. (A guy calling himself Plutonic Panda should also be one :-)

Not following your own advice, I see.

Also, there does seem to be an overlap between furrydom and car culture more broadly. I guess it just doesn't extend to roads.

Yeah, I have seen some examples of the "sexy posing on fancy car" pinup art out of the furry community.

Maybe I should make a dragonborn who hoards shields and gratuitously spouts info about route numbering rules and control cities so I can wave them over the fence and try and get more furries into roadgeeking.

Wouldn't that make for a lower ratio, not a higher one?

I don't know about the ratio, but the point of the joke is if you took out a big enough chunk of the furries, there simply wouldn't be enough people who knew what they were doing left alive to keep the Internet running.

Sorry, I forgot the [/pedantic] tag when I formatted my reply.

I feel like there's a small but not zero chance you're gonna start talking about possums here. That's enough to make me nervous.

So, if I have this correct the dolphins have allied with the opossums?  The alliance makes sense since the opossums can get to bridges that aren't along waterways linked to the oceans.

The Daily Question thread needs to have a question based on this at some point.  I would have done it today had I gotten to it on time.

IDK, you tend to latch onto things like a dog with a squeaky toy. Pot calling the kettle black.
