Speak for yourself, I hope the furry aliens make me their pet.

I would love the life of a house pet as long as I can play video games instead of sleeping all the time.

We just collectively need to convince our new overlords that it’s enrichment and just let me keep it I already have it, and I’ll be totally friendly and compliant whenever you want, I can pause, it’s cool.

Yeah, I mean I can multitask licking their tentacles while I game.

Would it change your mind if the aliens are responsible owners and neuter their pets?

Got my tubes tied when I was 27 (no kids no interest).

So nope, not in the slightest.

We're on lemmy, none of us are having kids anyway.

It's all fun and games until de-worming time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How many people have worms? I thought that was rare... Am I missing something and Kennedy is actually not an odd-ball?

[–] LovableSidekick 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not many people have them, but the aliens don't know which ones - and they already have the anal probe equipment handy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Shit, here I thought we were all going to just take heart guard haha. Your way doesn't sound as fun.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

almost all animals and a lot of people too have worms, most of them aren't really dangerous though, so no worries.

but it's less prevalent in humans than in other animals due to hygiene or sth

What's great is when they show up and become furry because they decide that furries have devised the best possible social system in the cosmos
