From Wikipedia: "A funny animal is an anthropomorphic animal character who lives like a human. They are typically bipedal, wear clothes, live in houses, drive and ride vehicles, and have jobs or may even be recognized citizens of countries, which distinguish them from other animal characters who may nonetheless display anthropomorphic characteristics such as speaking or showing facial expressions."

Snoopy is often portrayed doing these things, but they are all fantasies. However...

Is Snoopy a funny animal character?

Points for:
1. Funny
2. Animal
3. Often bipedal
4. Can communicate to the audience

Against:
1. Not that funny in later comic strips
2. Very aberrant lifestyle, somewhere between beast and man
3. Bipedalism may simply be a projection of his rich fantasy life
4. Can't talk, merely telepathic

Back in the day, if you wanted furry content, you were limited to literally every cartoon available on television, and a large proportion of the comic books and comic strips as well as the majority of products marketed toward children.

Tom of Finland. What a legend.

@melissasage An oulipo-like instance where subsequent posts from the entire pool of users further reduce the number of allowed characters.

Example: User1 makes a post and can use all characters except for e. User 2 makes a post and can use all characters except e and £. User1 posts again, and can use all characters except e, £, and 8.

Once enough posts have been made to exhaust the entire character set, it loops back around to allowing all characters again.

@melissasage You can only sign up for an account if you have a pre-existing Google, Facebook, or Github account. You can't choose your own username -- it will be the same as whatever the pre-existing account name is. The avatar will be the pre-existing account's current avatar. It is impossible to update either one after you sign up

@melissasage When you try to create a new toot or reply, you automatically unload whatever was in your clipboard at the moment into the textbox
