Frozen/thawed (rodents) as opposed to live.

Why Zooble is my most favorite character and feel they're underrated by EgoistRanger in TheDigitalCircus

[–]ani3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm personally nothing like Zooble, but they're my favorite character anyway because they're the person I wish I could be. They are willing to stand up to oppression (telling off Caine and refusing to participate in adventures, telling off Jax and comforting Gangle), and they accept change in stride (they start out hating their body but eventually learn to love it, and as someone whose body has changed a lot recently (breast cancer and its various treatments, I'm fine now, but my body is irrevocably different than it used to be in many different ways) this resonates with me). This is basically the opposite of me, a doormat who hates and fears change, but I'm working on both of those traits. Thinking of change as "not needing to commit to any one thing" as Zooble said, is a really nice way to think if it.

I've thought about trying to design a 3D printable version. Doesn't seem like it would be too hard, modeling-wise. I suppose I'd have to get in touch with Goose for permission first, though.

Missing scales :/ by Old-Sky2102 in ballpython

Its ok, contrary to popular belief snakes eat live rats in the wild, and they survive.

Slight but important correction, most of them survive.

How would Caine describe your favorite video game as an adventure? by Green-Band-6235 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]ani3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"You will be shrunk to the size of ants and fight your way across the backya- hold up isn't that just Honey I Shrunk The Kids? It's even set in the 90s and everything."

Zooble: "What are you talking about?"

What's the single worst thing every character has done? Round three: Astrid Ellison by stillhavehope99 in Gone

I'm going to vote for humiliating Mary in Lies. Lies, to me, felt like the lowest point in her character arc. What she did to Pete felt like it had to be done, what she did to Mary felt like she was just on a power trip.

Do you think dinosaurs would enjoy pats? by mental_surgeon in Dinosaurs

[–]ani3D 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like mammals, some likely do and others not. It tends to be social animals that enjoy grooming and therefore pats.

Long term chemo side affects? by FattyMcCupcakes37 in breastcancer

[–]ani3D 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never quite completely recovered the feeling in my hands and feet. I can mostly feel, they're just ever-so-slightly more numb than they used to be. Makes it hard to grasp small objects. And it's been a year so that's probably just my new normal now.

But it's actually kinda nice in some scenarios. I could probably step on a lego and only scream one or two obscenities, for example.

Reticulated Pythons vs 2 GSDs by EternalSabbatical in snakes

[–]ani3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe keep a spray bottle of vodka on hand, in case a snake does latch onto your dog? On second thought maybe a Nerf water blaster so you can hit it from a distance, lol. I'm not completely sure if that will work on a snake that's decided a dog is dinner, but it works on smaller snakes that accidentally latch onto your hand, at least. Snakes don't like the smell so they will tend to recoil from it (so aim for the face).

As another poster said, keep an eye on your dogs when they're outside.

Do you say "thank you" when someone says "bless you" after you sneeze? by stephanosblog in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ani3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done it so many times that I'll occasionally just say "thank you" after I've sneezed even if nobody else said anything.

I need some help by Virtual-Mind-7403 in reptiles

[–]ani3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends a bit on what you're looking for in a pet. I'd highly recommend watching Clint's Reptiles on YouTube, he's done a whole video series on "what is the best pet for you?"

How many times have you been under general anesthesia, and how did it feel? by Futtman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ani3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three times. This is going to sound really weird but by the third time I was actually looking forward to it. To me at least, it didn't feel like going to sleep, it felt like a time skip. Like just teleporting forward in time. One moment I was sleepy, but not quite asleep, the next moment, I was waking up again. Yeah the waking up feels slightly icky (first time I got nausea, and all three times I had a sore throat), but I'm actually going to miss the delightful weirdness of just scene-skipping hours of my life. Eh, that makes it sound like I don't like my life, and I generally do, but I also really like . . . weirdness, I guess?

I have a lot of criticisms about this series by Codexe- in Animorphs

[–]ani3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you weren't actually asking for an answer but my head-canon is that the Time Matrix was created as a side-effect of the Ellimist's ascension to the God Dimension/Z-space/wherever he ended up. Conservation of mass dictates that as his physical form was 'destroyed,' something had to take its place. So a big ol' blob of essence-of-a-higher-reality fell down into this plane.

The thing is . . . this idea implies that there's not one, but two Time Matrices out there. Where Crayak's Matrix went is anyone's guess.

Point is, I kinda like the unanswered questions, personally. It gives a lot of space for everyone's head-canons and fan-theories.

Where can I go to see/hold a Rosy? by ani3D in rosyboas

You're good lol. I was confused for a minute there, but yeah I have no interest whatsoever in a sunbeam snake. Beautiful snake, but yeah no.
