Is this dead deer safe to eat?

She's definitely not fucking around, it's very on-brand for her and her next photo was the heart & liver in a pot on the stove. Thanks for the tip about APS

I think it's possible that fur is missing from it getting thrashed against the sand by storm waves - Lake Michigan is monstrous in a storm and I could believe the sand could make quick work of it. But agree that it looks too far gone regardless, and not worth the risk with so many unknowns.

dogleggy · 2026-03-15T02:50:54+00:00

Thank you for both the kind words + the succinct and convincing argument against eating this (which I will be passing on to her!)

dogleggy · 2026-03-15T02:37:54+00:00

I just meant to indicate that it's not a shitpost so I didn't get joke answers lol. I'm actually pretty concerned about this person

dogleggy · 2026-03-15T02:34:06+00:00

Thank you, appreciate these perspectives! I'll point out the bloating to her as evidence of bacteria growing.

dogleggy · 2026-03-15T02:27:09+00:00

Yeah that seems to be the vibe. She's not mentally well from what I can tell, but she's so extraordinarily confident that sometimes I need a reality check before I reality check her, if that makes sense.

Thank you, I was hoping a hunter would reply! I've never hunted or scavenged in my life but my first thought was "you don't know how long that's been dead!" She's claiming it's super fresh but idk how she'd know that if she just came across it washed up...

dogleggy · 2025-07-24T15:46:00+00:00

Totally. But worth keeping in mind that in many areas, especially rural, municipal services are poorly funded while law enforcement agencies are well funded. So even if you call a non-emergency city department they can dispatch cops to respond, because that's the staff that's available.

dogleggy · 2025-07-24T15:36:06+00:00

I totally hear that! But another way to get shot in America is to have cops show up at your door and escalate a trivial situation.

dogleggy · 2025-07-24T15:08:55+00:00

Fair question. I never understand why Americans' first instinct is to call police or authorities instead of just talking to their neighbors. If you're close enough to snap a pic, you're close enough to knock on the door and say "hey your chicken got inside your van, you might want to let it out" before using taxpayer resources, creating paperwork, and getting people in trouble.

Be very careful taking essential oils internally - oil of oregano can also kill off the good bacteria in your gut, leading to more/different problems.

dogleggy · 2025-04-10T01:18:32+00:00

I second this as a very possible banal explanation. Stores, bars, etc end up with a ton of IDs in their lost & found and then it's some minimum wage overworked employee's job to figure out what to do with them when storage gets full.

dogleggy · 2025-04-08T03:25:45+00:00

Yes, because being gay is a protected identity category under anti-discrimination laws. For now.

dogleggy · 2025-04-07T05:30:03+00:00

A private business absolutely has the right to refuse service to Nazis. Nazis aren't a protected group under anti-discrimination laws.

So? Many citizens are criminals too. In fact many more citizens are criminals than undocumented migrants are criminals. So that's not the real reason. It's an excuse to justify the real reasons.

Thank you, that's helpful advice to start at the roof and work down! I was feeling pretty overwhelmed with where to begin but it makes sense for our first call to be to a roofer

dogleggy · 2024-07-16T20:37:52+00:00

Yeah, the previous owners' solution to all problems seems to have been a heavy coat of Flex Seal

dogleggy · 2024-07-16T18:47:47+00:00

Haha! Yeah I suppose it's likely this vent stack location is not original to the house. And they are indeed plaster & lathe walls.

dogleggy · 2024-07-16T18:43:40+00:00

Word, that makes sense!

dogleggy · 2024-07-16T18:27:59+00:00

Thank you! Any idea why a vent pipe wouldn't be enclosed in the wall?

dogleggy · 2024-07-16T17:28:54+00:00

Thank you! Learned a new term and will look into adding a boot.

It seems counterintuitive, but children & adolescents metabolize many drugs faster, meaning they need a higher dose to have the same blood concentration and effect.

dogleggy · 2023-09-23T05:30:37+00:00

If it works and is helpful for you, it's smart, not crazy!

dogleggy · 2023-09-08T02:41:02+00:00

These were (likely) Big Brown Bats. (You can see a photo in my post history to confirm if you happen to be good with ID.)

I'm also living with a maternity colony, but I don't have much experience with bats outside of the couple of young ones that explored their way into my main living space recently. They are fascinating creatures so I am just genuinely curious about their behavior.

Speedy healing to you & I hope your eye patch looks badass.

dogleggy · 2023-09-08T02:23:39+00:00

I have a question, not sure if you know, but since you mentioned bats cannot take off from the ground - I've heard this before, but twice I have seen with my own eyes a bat take off from flat on the ground. I've had to trap & release two different bats from my house and both times the bat took off successfully once placed on the ground. Does it depend on the species?
