Hello 🐺
I want to read this book.
All I want is the Table of Contents, I feel like just that on its own would be enough of a laugh for me.
Chapter Nine: Guide to Furry Slang & Colloquialisms
"Everything you didn't want to know about cheese graters, and knots the Boy Scouts will definitely not teach you."
Do you think this book will be able to explain the concept of a "closed species"?
patent trolling but made cool and edgy because it is applied to a group that has these properties (effectively training young generations from the start that ABSOLUTELY PROPRIETARY is very cool which in turn will blow up human collaboration and innovation)
According to a friend of mine that went to this year’s rust week, while he was in a video conference with his thesis professor, he almost burst out laughing cause he heard someone meow behind him
I was going to say that the animal on the cover ought to be a human, given that furries (et. al.) are animals of a sort, and what's on the cover should be "opposite" somehow to the reader, but then I realised that the book is for someone who presumably isn't a furry, and so the cover should indeed be some kind of animal.
The potential problem is that the animal should be entirely unrelated. The wolf (dog? canid?) is thus a bad choice because - from what little I've seen - canids seem to be pretty common preferences*. Thus it ideally should be an animal that it's incredibly unlikely anyone would identify with. Or as.
Thus, may I suggest: a paramecium
* I'm not sure "preference" is the right word here. I may need a copy of this book.
