Salient?
Soylent?
Once of the most common incorrectly used words and a pet peeve of mine. Star Trek certainly hasn't helped!
I guess we all make mistakes Mr. “Once of”
The funniest part of this is the poster suggesting that dogs are not sentient.
As a kid I was really confused about animals like dogs acting like they have emotions and shit. "Wow, they kinda act similar to humans despite not being special like us humans that go to heaven." were my thoughts. All that because I was raised in a religious family being forced to visit church every week and getting brainwashed here. Fuck religion. It's a potent poison to mind.
Dogs are sentient.
my dog isn't
Dogs are sentient, except that one
My dog loves chocolate I give him a bit every time I eat it.
Chocolate is poisonous to dogs! They usually love to eat it, but enough will kill them.
Please, for the sake of your dog, check with your vet for details.
My cats fave food is onion rings
(Don’t feed your cats onions)
My cat is a vegan.
Yeah well mine’s an alcoholic, so.
Alcoholic cats aren't too bad as long as they stay away from the coke or meth.
Once my dog ate an entire bag of dove chocolate from the pantry when we were out.
I can do that easily.
One time, I was sleep deprived for days, and I hallucinated gemstones on the ground.
So would my youngest cat. This morning, she left a dime that she found somewhere in her food dish. she brought me a quarter the other day too. and, she would enjoy a peanut m&m if she were to find it.
