"We're all adults here, aren't we" is the worst rhetorical question.

@noondlyt You mean because people don't understand it's meant to make them think about what it means to be an adult?

Would that not put into question the people rather than the question?

@admitsWrongIfProven
Because the people asking it doesn't know that I posted a fart joke 5 minutes prior to this serious conversation.

@noondlyt Fart jokes are pretty compatible with my definition of adulthood, i think the people you reference might not be adults.
Do you know them IRL? "On the internet, nobody knows you are a dog"

@admitsWrongIfProven

I was making a general statement. This is not a serious toot.

@noondlyt Sorry if i'm too serious, those winds of deliberation must have escaped me unseen... *toot*

@admitsWrongIfProven

lol, I live on the fediverse and I read your handle 😀 All good. My humor is super arid and mainly I say things for myself.

@noondlyt @admitsWrongIfProven haha.. I post boob jokes.. I think adults have finely tuned childlike senses of humor sometimes.. when we aren't being fuddy duddies.

@ezmyrelda @admitsWrongIfProven

We have to keep a hold on our inner child and let them out to play often.

@ezmyrelda @noondlyt We can do a lot as adults, but sometimes the best we can do is air out what's been building inside us...

Btw Teddy and Sylvie look nice, give them a nice pet from me!

@ezmyrelda I think the proper protocol is to offer the hand and let Sylvie determine to bonk it or not, right?

@admitsWrongIfProven oh her and me is never to bonk... My mother has more luck because she's her 'person'. I'm dragonfly's person.

@ezmyrelda Heh... my knowledge of cats is superficial... gf is a cat person, i'm rather aloof.

All i know is i respect the cats total uncaringness and the cats sometimes come. Prompting questions about why they come to me ^^

@admitsWrongIfProven I read a book when I was about 11 that supposedly taught you how to talk to cats. The particular one has been lost to time and doesn't show up in searches or I'm brain farting the exact title but I digress. Me and cats have always been on comfortable terms. Not a dog person..

@ezmyrelda I can imagine Teddy being more cuddly than one might like, but i can't imagine him being malicious :-)

@admitsWrongIfProven He's a big softie but he does like dominance play with my brother..

He's actually the neighbors dog.. here's his other dog Puar
