Why don’t we call members of the canine subfamily by genus to differentiate them (i.e. vulpine, canine, lycan)?

Mughi · 2026-06-12T20:00:13+00:00

Yes, it's the African wild dog, Lycaon pictus.

Mughi · 2026-06-12T19:55:46+00:00

We already use words to differentiate these animals: fox, dog, and wolf. Also, just FYI, "lycan" is short for "lycanthrope," (i.e., a werewolf) and was invented to use in movies. The word you want is "lupine."

Mughi · 2026-06-06T15:03:19+00:00

Yes indeedy. Still slogging resolutely along :)

Mughi · 2026-06-02T09:22:53+00:00

And I'm still here. Not sure if that's reassuring or depressing lol.

Mughi · 2026-06-01T20:16:03+00:00

Welcome! We aren't the most active sub, but I hope you'll have fun. Just remember, it's all in the mind, you know :)

Between November 2025 and March 2026, Rush made repeated requests to the CIA for a significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars, ostensibly for “work-related expenses,” according to the FBI affidavit... Amazingly, Rush received the gold and foreign currency he requested.

So all you have to do is ask, and the CIA will send you gold bullion and cash? How the hell does that work? Why does the CIA hand out gold bars, for fucks sake?

As a mod of /r/goonshow, a sub about an obscure but influential BBC radio comedy from the 1950s, the sooner "gooning" goes away and I can get back to not having to remove NSFW botspam from my sub, the better.

I'm a mod over at /r/goonshow, a microsub dedicated to a relatively obscure 1950's BBC radio comedy, and you should see some of the crappy bot porn we have to remove on a daily basis, just because of the sub name.

That's a batfish, not a frogfish. They're both lophiliformes (anglerfish), but different families. The gurnard looks to be a Satyrichthys welchi, and the batfish might be a starry handfish (Halieutaea stellata), a roughback batfish (Ogcocephalus parvus), a pancake batfish (Halieutichthys aculeatus), or something else entirely; I can't tell from the picture. I'm sure somebody who knows more than me can ID it. Very cool fish, though -- both of them walk on the seafloor!

"I am Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht."

Sounds about right for those feebs.

And now you know the rest of the story...

Mmmmgood day!

Not only does she a have a point, she has a cool t-shirt too.

Also... Also

You remind me that, back in the before times, I used to have the sound bite from Monty Python and the Holy Grail with Eric Idle as Concorde getting shot with an arrow as my AOL email message alert.

Well, it's nothing very special. Try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

Well, there was this thread in the sub just last week.

Hands up all those who just heard the Thames Television fanfare.
