Ferret.
Not something you can get in my country and they are cute noodles

Plus just like me they are prone to horrible digestive issues!

I love my beardie dragon Lizzy, she is one of the best companions i've ever kept super easy to take care of.

TheColonel , in If you had to adopt one of these exotic pets, which one would you choose?

Pig. Cute now, food later.

someguy3 , in What's the most unexplainable/unlikely thing that's ever happened to you?

In high school we were messing around on the computers, got to the login for admin, didn't know the password so I mashed the keyboard a bit and hit enter. It worked.

chicken ,

All I can think is maybe the system was coded to accept any password if no password has been set, and they hadn't bothered setting a password

someguy3 ,

Nope, other passwords didn't work. I hit the right password randomly. Unreal probability.

Sekrayray OP ,

Should’ve gotten picked up by a 3 letter agency then and there. You could’ve been the next super spy

ares35 , in If you had to adopt one of these exotic pets, which one would you choose?

behave or be bacon.

Elaine , in If you had to adopt one of these exotic pets, which one would you choose?

None. IMHO animals species that are not domesticated should stay in the wild.

That piglet looks pretty domesticated.

Unfortunately there are no "small" pigs. They are babies. And they grow into giant hogs. Which is not an animal most people are prepared to keep. So I'd veto a pig on those grounds.

pyrflie ,

I know, that's what I'm counting on.

It's named Porkchop for a reason.

For what it's worth, ferrets are domesticated (from the European polecat) and generally speaking just die if they end up in the wild.

I played this game for Christmas with my parents! For fun, they offered me $10 or a scratch-off. For the heck of it, I took the scratch-off and won $40. With the way my luck went last month, I'd have to pick the lottery ticket.

I want the little weasel guy. Pigs grow up. I don't like how birds sound or act, too fidgety.

I could do the lizard too, since I feel like all those weasels are super high maintenance? I guess lizards need high heat though.

But I want the weasel guy. I can easily watch him run around and climb things all day, and then take a nap.

Nerd02 , in If you could learn the spoken language instantly, which would you pick?

Seeing as I am already Italian I suppose I will pick Chinese.

Also I guess I'm going to be that guy. "La vida es bella" is not Italian, it's Spanish lol.

came here to point that out as well lol

neidu2 Mod ,

Could you choose Italian and become your countrys best linguist by objectively being twice as good at the language as any other native speaker? Or does it turn into Vulgar latin?

AA5B ,

That’s hilarious.

AA5B , in If you could learn the spoken language instantly, which would you pick?

Going by the picture, each means successfully losing a shit ton of weight, so I’m down with either

Nemo , in If you had to adopt one of these exotic pets, which one would you choose?

Piglet! Pet and emergency rations in one package.

LaserTurboShark69 , in If you had to adopt one of these exotic pets, which one would you choose?

Usually I go for the fire starter pokemon but electric lizard looks pretty cool

Elaine , in If you could learn the spoken language instantly, which would you pick?

Definitely Chinese preferably Mandarin since I already know some.

LadyLikesSpiders , in What's the most unexplainable/unlikely thing that's ever happened to you?

Very early in the morning, while walking to the bus stop to school, I saw, on the side of the road, just walking there, a Lobster. I am sure of what I saw. I went down to it, looked at it, really got close. It was a friggin lobster, miles away from the ocean. Now, I do live in Florida, so we're never really all THAT far from a beach, but I wasn't exactly coastal. A pretty long and arduous journey for a little crustacean to make

Darthjaffacake ,

They keep lobsters alive right before eating them right? Couldn't it just have escaped from whatever cargo it was being transported in or some restaurant? Still unreal 😮

LadyLikesSpiders ,

It really is the only conclusion I could come up with that made sense, but it was still just such a strange sight

Clbull , in [Weekly thread] How is your week going? 15-01-2024

Meh. The only thing going well for me right now is work.

Failed my recent ACCA exam (which I was underprepared for), though to be honest failing one exam out of four isn't so bad.

Other than that, it's been tonnes of friendship drama that's been exhausting to me both emotionally and mentally. I don't want to go into it.

On an unrelated note, I've been chatting to a lady I met on Facebook Dating for the past few months and we were planning to meet next Saturday. Unfortunately she double-booked and had to reschedule for a to-be-determined future date. The challenge is that she suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome and isn't even sure if she can or even wants to commit to a relationship when she lacks the energy to even function in her normal life. She's honestly been both hot and cold with me, and she has been worried about stringing me along.

Sorry to hear, hopefully you'll have a better week
