It's like having an exotic pet that tries to emotionally manipulate you

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Kids are like the least exotic pet out there.

I could save up and buy a savannah cat every decade. But there's only one person who's ever going to be my kid. You know what I think when I look at my kid?

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."

That's an exotic pet. Fuck a leopard.

Maybe if you hadn't fucked a leopard your kid wouldn't have been so weird.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

Anyone who would fuck a leopard seems likely to have a weird kid no matter who/what they have it with.

When it comes to pets, exotic refers to uncommon. Kids are the most common of pets.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In a lot of US cities, I think dogs have surpassed kids as the more common pet.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Seems to be the case here in Seattle and I very much approve. I'm one of those people, in fact. My dogs are so much quieter and easier to train than children are.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Easier to train than adult dog owners, too! A truly impressive amount of Seattle dog owners think "no dogs allowed on the play field" means "designated off-leash dog park".

Except when you try and take it back... oh uh, ah, uh... I mean "yes".

The sounds a dog makes is far less grating to the ear than the sounds a child makes.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That depends largely on the dog.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

It has to do with the high-pitched voices for both children and dogs. Small dogs, small humans? High-pitched voices.
