    I wish I didn’t know that. Now I really want to pet a jaguar.

    Very soft

    It’s a trick. The jaguars killed Sebastián and used his phone to lure in more prey.

      How long do I get to pet the Jaguar before it kills me?

      source
      • MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Is it sleeping? Or awake?

    • comfy@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yep, I’ve also gotten responses pretty reliably from professional artists, including those I’d assumed would be far too busy to answer (including the directors and writers of famous tv shows).

  • dohpaz42@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Sebastián, I have one very pressing question. Are jaguar soft?

    FTFH.

    Pro tip: don’t waste people’s time by forcing them to respond before you ask your question. Be polite and pleasant, AND ask your question at the same time. It saves both them and you a lot of time.

      although this is usually correct, here it is important for the joke that setup and punchline are seperated by anticipation.

      source
    • AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      First of its a joke with a set up and punchline. Secondly its a group chat as can be seen from the two hearts and group chats work differently.

      This is probably my biggest pet peeve. I stopped responding entirely, now I just wait until they ask their question. Eventually they’ll learn.

      source
    • RustyNova@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I write all my messages like there will be a 5 day delay for a response. Some people think I am mistaking the chat app for an email service lol

      Another thing that is irritating is when people

      Type part of a sentence And sends it

      But continue on

      And on

      And you’re just like

      Are you done?

      It’s arguably less productive than asking to ask, as your attention is constantly grabbed to the new messages, instead of going back to your thing while waiting for the other to say their question

      • Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I do this except I’m just adding more sentences or rewriting my last message with more info

    Touch is a good option to distinguish between a jaguar and a shark in a dark room - jaguar is soft and shark is smooth. Easy. You’ll never cagain onfuse a jaguar with a shark.

    source
    • leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Shark’s only smooth from front to back. Otherwise shark’s sandpaper.

      source
      • Klear@quokk.au ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Nope. Sharks are smooth as hell in all directions.

      I still remember when I went to an aquarium as a kid and touched the sting rays. That texture has stayed in my mind ever since. I still can’t find anything it compares well to.

        I still can’t find anything it compares well to.

        So … what was it like ?

        You might enjoy a shagrin couch.

  • humanspiral@lemmy.ca ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I was 100% sure that would be the answer. Is there a feline that is rough?

    source
    • TheSeveralJourneysOfReemus@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I have one yes, very rough. Negative survival intincts. Got trapped once and didn’t even try to get out.

      source
  • Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    This is an abuse of power. But since you’ve crossed the line already, could you ask about axolotles? Do they look happy even when they are sad?

    source
  • LeapSecond@lemmy.zip ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Pretty sure Sebastián would be happy to answer this question to non-journalists too

    source
    • Klear@quokk.au ⁨36⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      Non-journalists are soft too.

      source
  • shadowwwind@beehaw.org ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Next question, can I visit and experience the softness myself? 

    source
    • DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes but only once

        Can you imagine how it would feel if the Jaguar curled up in your lap and went to sleep?

      Why’d you remove your own upvote? You’re allowed to like the smell of your own.

      source
      • RustySharp@programming.dev ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        It’s a server setting. Their instance doesn’t auto-upvote, and can’t downvote.

    Why are there two reactions? Who else was let in on this critical information?

    source
    • GandalftheBlack@feddit.org ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Sebastiàn liked his own message

      source
      • vodka@feddit.org ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        As he should, it was a good message.

    I recently learned that kangaroos are soft, which surprised me as I always imagined them like weird deer and deer are not soft. I feel like this needs to be a list I can look at somewhere.

      Are you looking for the Animal Smoothness Scale?

      source
      • boonhet@sopuli.xyz ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I think they’re looking for the Animal Softness scale

        The two together form a two dimensional chart though

        source
      • Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I wonder where humans lie on that scale. There’s such a range between ages, hormone levels, and even seasons (my hands are normally soft, but dry winter air is currently interfering with that.)

        source
    • Rekorse@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Animals vary from one to another as well though. Even in the same litter, you can have one with rough fur and one with fine soft fur. That’s besides the fact that there are many breed of deer.

  • pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    But are sharks smooth?

    source
    • Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Depends which direction you pet them.

      source
    • phdepressed@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      No

      source
      • bizarroland@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        They can be if they are attracted to you.

        source
    • smeenz@lemmy.nz ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Only when they’re trying to date you

      source
    • NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Depends on the angle.

    Sometimes jaguar sharp

    Don’t just take Sebastian on his word. Ask him to send you a sample.
