Same way we decide which animals to eat and which to pet I guess

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 81 points 1 month ago

No no no. I would eat a cow. But I would also pet a cow.

I guess it depends if it's alive or dead.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 month ago

Pet the bovine cadaver coward.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Mmm, beef patty.

[-] applebusch 10 points 1 month ago

dissociates

[-] X@piefed.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Living cow: i pets moo cow

Freshly dead cow: no pets 4 u cow

[-] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

A living cow: pet pet -

With my axe!

Then dead cow: yummy looking beef steak.

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago

They were all alive at some point

[-] Janx@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago

First one, then the other! The order is important...

[-] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

There are no animals I wouldn't eat or pet

They're really unpleasant to eat - much like a tarantula they're basically all exoskeleton and that makes them a bit like chewing a big mouth full of fried peanut shells. But flavor-wise the meat is actually pretty tasty!

Pet/food decisions are mostly based on carnivore/herbivore type. Eating carnivorous animals poisons us over time, among other issues. Video about it: Why Predator Meat is Literally Poison (It's Not What You Think)

^ my joke but better

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 103 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Mermaids are the apex predator & rule the seas - none of the critters are friends, just captive slaves that try their best not to piss her off.

And that's why a little murmaider is ok.

[-] SleepyPie@lemmy.world 82 points 1 month ago

Wow you had so many of these ready to go 👀

[-] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 33 points 1 month ago

Seems like, somehow, people have spent a lot of time thinking about Ariel's tits. Perhaps science can tell us one day why.

[-] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Buncha hebephiles apparently, because Ariel is forever 16.

[-] Im_old@lemmy.world 68 points 1 month ago

Well starfish have their mouth in the middle of their body, so...

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago

How else do you think they stay on?

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago

Totally. She picks the best kissers.

[-] Pistachio@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

breast kissers

[-] kalpol@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

All right boys, party's over

[-] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 67 points 1 month ago

Clearly her bra are her closest friends.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

Meanwhile, I just want to see bunny Armok.

Those claims ain't surviving their adductor muscles being severed

[-] xkbx@startrek.website 29 points 1 month ago

I’m assuming the same way we decide which animals are okay to eat or not - arbitrarily and by culture. For example, maybe some Pacific tribes of mermaids might be fine using starfish, but Atlantis area that would be considered barbaric, perhaps even with a touch of propaganda saying they use starfish for sexual reasons as well. I love where this is going, I’m gonna go write a controversial AO3 fiction about a Pacific mermaid fighting against Atlantic racism, but secretly in a degrading race-play relationship.

[-] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

This is Indian Oceanic Mertribe erasure!

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

Ok, now tell me how do I decide which animals to suck my nipples?

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 19 points 1 month ago

Alive: friends. Dead: clothes.

[-] Astronut@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well, obviously her bosom buddies are her friends! They just clam and do their job.

Edit: when you think about it though, do you really want a couple of clams in charge of guarding your titties?

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Maybe the ones she uses as bra are her very best friends?

[-] M137@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago

The person who wrote this is in the very small minority of people (of all genders) who don't think boobs are awesome.
And even then, how is being her bra not being a friend? Bad bras that cause all sorts of issues and discomfort is such a common thing that any bra that doesn't should automatically be seen as a friend.

[-] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

She is like a hermit crab, using only the discarded shells as her cycle progresses.

I'm not sure there's a way to do that without being shellfish.

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Bra ones got game

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 month ago
[-] RoddyStiggs 6 points 1 month ago

¿Por que no los dos?

[-] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Pure aesthetics.
