My brain is telling me, the bottom right picture has to be the fluffiest thing to possibly exist fluffily in the universe

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

I want to hug it so fluffing bad!

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 days ago

I too was once the youngest child, then relegated to middle.

1 day if you're an archaeologist

My burned and now tanned skin says otherwise

Then they killed it and ate its limbs.

Chances are that this is for something like a petting zoo. The farmers that raise them for meat don’t treat them well enough to get them a wash and a blowout at the local salon.

This is the most accurate thing ever. I'm pretty sure I still have dirt in some of the creases of skin, and I haven't been in the field for 3 years

As someone who's skin is naturally about as pale as a troglodyte Irishman but lives in SoCal. Tanning can fuck you up if you tan too quickly I still have a large amount of freckles and discoloration on my shoulders from skin damage back when I was like 10, I am 25 it has been years. Though admittedly I do have a very light farmers tan on my forearms and on the upper part of my face.

Nature’s sunscreen!

is a tan washing off really a thing? asking because my skin burns just thinking about the sun lol

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We think the implication is that it's dirt, not a tan.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Tan dirt.

So it works. Maybe. Try squinting at it.
