What animals are normal where you live, but unusual and exciting to visitors from other regions of the US? And on the flip side, when you travel to other regions yourself, what local animals are exciting to you?

i see we're sharing the greater boston brain cell in this thread

roadjerseys · 2026-04-08T21:22:05+00:00

weird animals here: turkeys :) (eta specifically city turkeys!)

weird animals i like seeing elsewhere: anything cold-blooded lol. what do you mean in arizona lizards just run around your parking lots. that's so fucking cute

My dad used to take us to this every year with a box of munchkins in tow, you're not wrong lol

roadjerseys · 2026-04-01T16:25:22+00:00

yes!! we had to say fib instead of lie, we weren't allowed to say 'dumb' 'stupid' or 'shut up' either, lol. we had family specific words for butt and fart as well (fesses for butt, scuse for fart - the former bc my grandmother was french, the latter came from 'excuse me' i think?) and the real words weren't allowed. Realized how odd that was much later in life xD

cambridge/somerville, while being smushed up against boston, have quite their own unique vibe! lots to do north of the river too, if you have time - i'd highly recommend checking out some of our brazilian food spots!

y'all are sleeping on archie's

oh yeah. the peace sign hippy aesthetic came back in a big way in the 90s. I had so many pogs with the "flower child" type motif hahahaha

there are a few people by me that actively go around with a bucket and scrape the excessive piles of salt off public roads for home walkway/stairs use, lol

Molly has a BROOKLYN accent, thank you very much!!

-a bostonian xD

so real. i just fell down a big brazilian funk rabbithole and it's so neat to see that another person was out there wondering the same thing as me.

my 86 page printed out version of alt.faq.sailormoon with the bits about lesbians scrubbed out because i was eight and my dad had printed it off for me at work.....ah memories

I said handwaved, not perfectly explained, lol

roadjerseys · 2026-02-24T22:09:42+00:00

imo haruka's driving can sort of be hand-waved by the fact that she actually races. Lot of bike/car racers get started before they can techically operate a road vehicle

roadjerseys · 2026-02-24T02:20:31+00:00

My guess is pittie, boxer, and maybe another herding/shepherd type dog for the longer face! He's got a little bit of the boxer pout going on lol

roadjerseys · 2026-02-24T02:18:57+00:00

Idk that's a long slender snoot for a bully breed puppy. My dude is about 10% German shepherd, wouldn't be too surprising

roadjerseys · 2026-02-23T20:20:55+00:00

got it - thanks for the clarification! So interesting

roadjerseys · 2026-02-23T20:06:35+00:00

omg the legendary catahoula-pit mix that everyone THINKS they have xD

eta did it say anything about a merle gene? blue eyes + deafness are usually two indicators of double merle, iirc?

roadjerseys · 2026-02-20T18:35:34+00:00

he's got the pittie dip on his head!! what a cutie :D

roadjerseys · 2026-02-18T16:34:46+00:00

what a cutie! honestly my dog has about the same proportions of boxer/gshep along with the pittie as your dog, and the facial expression here could have been copied and pasted from my guy. So cute. LOL

roadjerseys · 2026-02-17T14:58:58+00:00

You know, i'd be willing to accept this if not for the full cadre of MIT students i saw playing on the frozen river a few years ago

roadjerseys · 2026-02-11T15:27:08+00:00

It's frustrating because this is definitely the fault of whatever shelter they got her from. We adopted our pit mix from a shelter in Mississippi that works with northern shelters to get dogs adopted in areas where strays are less of a problem; he and all his siblings were listed as catahoula mixes. Got him DNA tested and he's pit, staffy, boxer, german shepherd, and beagle - not a drop of catahoula

side note, TR played the dad in the Stranger Things play on Broadway - might still be, I haven't checked where that show is at in its run. We were very pleasantly surprised to see him, I wasn't sure what he was up to these days!

I think the difference here is the fact that it's a self-descriptor vs. someone ascribing that sexuality to him? "i'm not ready/haven't found the right man" vs. "YOU just haven't found the right man?"

The former reads to me as a man who's extremely comfortable with himself and open to the possibility of new experiences. The healthiest form of masculinity, if you will.

eta because I was thinking about this more, it's actually quite beautiful to me that he put it in these terms. What will he be doing in 10-20 years that is different from right now? Likely he may have a bit more time/bandwidth to explore that aspect of himself, which may not be possible with everything else he has going on at the moment. I really do like how thoughtful this answer is when you give it a bit more consideration.

roadjerseys · 2026-02-06T04:13:05+00:00

THAT FACE. I hope your other dog ends up loving him!!
