I would actually personally contest that. My dog definitely does something like throw the ball back to me when we're playing fetch and he's near me. He actively moves his head to get more force behind the ball to return it to me.

u/TrippyTriangle 1h ago

no one is doubting that dogs can do that, it's a reference to this meme: https://www.reddit.com/r/CuratedTumblr/comments/1e6cmub/on_this_day_nine_years_ago_tumblr_user/

I never knew that otter had an ‘s’-less plural form like deer and fish

'otters' is also a correct plural form.

u/The_cogwheel 1h ago

Best part, it was supposed to be a recon mission - get in, get enemy troop positions for an artillery bombardment, then report back without getting spotted.

Except they got spotted and Wilfrid got shot. So Léo Major went "alright, plan B. Theres no witnesses if everyones dead" on their asses. By time the allies were ready with the artillery, there was no target to fire upon as the Nazis fled the town because of Léo

u/ParryThisYou 2h ago

Hey you should lower your volume, that orange sign means it could damage your ears.

14

u/The_cogwheel 2h ago

That was more because I fumbled the screen cap a bit and accidently cranked the volume higher than normal. Its typically lower than that.

But thanks for your concern.

Most -chans are teens/children because they are examples of moe morphism.

From what I understand most of them came from somewhat innocuous ideas of a teenage mascot (see more on the Moe subculture) but yeah a lot of them are sadly sexualized like a lot of anime teenagers. (I won't link it but you should be aware of lolicons if you are on the internet)

I've been there! We also visited cuckfield and wetwang on the same trip. I think the destination was bamburgh castle (we were watching The Last Kingdom at the time, great series) but we detoured for various small towns with silly names. The locals were so impressed that such funny and original people had come to take pictures of their signs. I read somewhere that the shitterton sign in particular is made of stone because people kept stealing it. Not sure how true that is though.
