Really glad randall xkcd made that "experts often misjudge the average layperson's knowledge of their field" comic bc my prior touchstone for easily conveying the same idea to people was this other xkcd

and now i no longer have to confuse people by saying shit like "i think we're having a joe biden mayonnaise moment here"

PHRASE ADDED!

  • "I think we're having a Joe Biden mayonnaise moment here." [For use when saying something common to you but baffling to anyone outside of your area of expertise.]

me: (at the alien brothel with my universal translator set to "2025 therapy speak")

gleepnork iii: hey there cute stuff. are you in the right head space to receive space head?

HEY. HOW DID YOU GET SO BIG.

WHAT KIND OF DOG ARE YOU.

I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

[video description: a Dalmatian following a horse that is white with black spots. end description.]

this is, btw, probably extremely fulfilling for this dog.

Dalmatians were supposed to be hunting dogs at the founding of the breed, but what they mostly became bred and used for was carriage dogs.

A carriage dog is a dog whose job it is to run alongside a horse and carriage and prevent anyone from interfering with it. They were excellent carriage security. Nobody could reach up and grab the horses reins, nobody could try to open the carriage door - you could even park with peace of mind

This is also how they became known as firehouse dogs, because fire trucks used to look like this

and i imagine having a carriage dog was very useful to prevent even well-meaning members of the public from doing anything stupid to the equipment or horses while you fought a fire.

So the dog in the video is probably feeling very Job Well Done about his activity

@elodieunderglass I feel like you would like this post

Thank you I do!

having pet stick bugs is fun because every so often i will hear the distinct sound of several stick bug falling and ill go to check on them and find them all in a pile on the ground of their enclosure and i have to figure out if theyve just decided that its floor time now or if they kept mistaking each other for actual sticks again and bundled together the ceiling until gravity got the best of them.

yeah they love forming a faggot together its like their favourite thing to do

please show us bugfaggot op please

they have plenty of plants and sticks to climb and play with they just keep doing this
