Everyone counting legs, nobody counting arms.
My lady had a limb for every day of the week!
Don’t ask what the Friday limb was…

Is there an author that writes like this? I would like to read an entire book of this.

I love Douglas Adams and HHGttG probably did more to inform my politics than any other single source, and it feels completely relevant today. If anything, Adams wasn’t cynical enough when writing Zaphod.

Christopher Moore as well! Let me go find some snippets.

I can see the similarity but IMO this isn’t that close to Douglas Adams.

Terry Pratchett Discworld books? From memory the ones about witches at least had a good bit of it.

check out Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Justice series. For a long while you’re not actually sure what species the characters are, what they look like, if they even have gender, and how many limbs they have.
It’s a series that focuses solely on plot and has a very loose definition of identity (and it’s awesome)

Depending on what specifically appeals to you, you’d probably like Literary nonsense aithors or Absurdist fiction authors.
