@Felthry @g "Sandra, please?..."
"Ugh, fine, okay."
"look it's not as if I can take MYSELF to the shops, I'm a horse. I don't have those, Poseable tums?"
"Opposable thumbs"
"yeah those weird things. I got hooves, Sandra, Hooves."
"..."
"...I'll let you put the pretty saddle on me?"
"...alright deal. I guess I need some milk anyway"
"Yay!"

@g @a_breakin_glass @Felthry I would absolutely accept this

@a_breakin_glass @g @Felthry god please no the uk would probably call them something fuckin' daft like unicorn crossings...

....

actually that one's okay I think hm. not sure.

@g @Felthry omg toucan crossings are a thing too and they are just Puffin crossings but for bikes side by side with them, and yeah Puffin Crossings are literally just Pelican crossings but the signal to show when it's safe to cross for pedestrians is beside them rather than on teh lights, and also they have sensors to detect when it's safe for drivers to go again too.

I...

the pegasus crossing is a new one on me and my mind is BLOOOWWNNN

@g pega wha...

...WH!?

WE HAVE.

WHJA

I

@Felthry Yes, or, well, Wikipedia does at least:

Pelican crossing. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Pelican_crossing_on_Cuffley_Hill_%28geograph_2443957%29.jpg

and here is a Puffin crossing:

...I think they are literally exactly the same, except the Puffin one... has a bike lane?? I think???...

...idfk what that has to do with pelicans or puffins tho.

@kyra @jk "We live in a society"
"ah fuck, no, no I don't wanna, I want out, that weird joker lives there now and I do NOT wanna be around them"

@Felthry I honestly never understood it myself like, zebra aren't striped regularly, and certainly not as broadly as that. Pinstripe crossing I would have understood but... zebra??

Also Pelican and Puffin Crossings are a thing and no i do NOT know wtf those are either or how to describe them, even though I am English, and no I have no idea WHY we call them that either, lol.

We brits are fuckin' weird.

@monorail @Mara realtalk tho shoutouts to the time I got nudged into last place by AI while playing against two friends on Double Dash (local play, whee!) right at the start, got a blue shell, andw ith a yell of triumph fired it... RIGHT after I got ahead of Bowser, who mushroomed into my behind, and somehow it launched me WAY into first place, at the split second I fired the shell.

...immediately blue-shelling first place.

Who was me now.

Blueshelled myself back into last position.

@Mara @monorail "no see it's ACTUALLY a genius strategy because by deliberately going last you can get a blue shell more easily and make up the time later in the race and .....and the AI used the blue shell immediately instead of strategically saving it, uh... hm..."
