The cute little hands are part of the appeal for me!

Otters. They are just too damn cute.

My wife finds my obsession with soft butter for toast to be a bit extreme, but I hate trying to spread it cold. I have "soften it in the microwave" down to a perfect science where it comes out soft but not melted.

Did evolution really forget to cover this niche?

IANAScientist, but maybe being a creature that can potentially fly onto land but not be able to walk once there was an evolutionary disadvantage, and was bred out.

Those who understand binary and those who don't?

Are winrar memes the champion as far as long-lived memes? I think it might be the longest running internet meme I can think of.

That's the most interesting wikipedia entry I've read in a good long while.

I don't have enough confidence that random people in my vicinity at any point in time will know the word to ever, ever use it. The possibility of someone taking it as the n-word it kinda sounds like is just too damn high.

In the context of changing the course of things early on, I'd make everyone post under their real name in any context. To be clear, I DO NOT support that today. The cat's already out of the bag and pseudonymous communities are the norm now, I don't think we can unscramble that egg.

But if somehow, from day one, you needed to attach your own name to everything posted online, I feel like we'd have ended up with a less toxic internet than we have in many places today.
