It would have cost you nothing to not say this. On the up side, I'm not hungry anymore, so I can save on food.

I hear they taste fowl

As a general rule, youre not wrong. Its a bit different in this neighborhood (eastern MA). Pretty sure these streets were designed for horse and buggy. People park on the street here and that makes it a 1 lane road in most cases. It's really not built for anything modern.

Could be worse for a lot of reasons.

A car weighs a lot more than a sprinting adult. The inertia and potential force applied are much higher.

The bumper is at a height that would connect with vital areas on a child. Youre not just looking at broken legs.

If you dont see the kid in time, they may well end up UNDER the car or worse, the wheels.

I can totally see how this is a thing.

I almost hit a child last night. A mom (assuming relation for brevity) took her hand off her child for just long enough to pick up a smaller kid. He took the opportunity to run right to the next house, across the street. Fortunately I was going like 10mph at most because I know the neighborhood, and was watching closely. Still only had a couple of feet to spare due to reaction time.

No one was hurt and the little purple dinosaur got a scolding. Hopefully he learned to keep an eye out for cars. I would not have been able to live with myself if I had hit him.

Color me impressed. If I tried making something like that, it would likely come out as some eldritch horror.

And the cat head was something you just had lying around?

No clucks given.

Hooman, I does no has opposable thumbs. Plz halp.

A friend of mine is vegetarian, and a pretty good cook, so I have tried a good number of the meatless options commercially available. Some of them are very tasty. I have not encountered one that would "convert" me yet. All thus far have been identifiable as not-meat due to texture or taste. Ultimately I don't think we will ever be meat free as a society, but as lab grown meat and meatless product advances, we will get MUCH closer to it.
