Agreed. I generally think of “Indoors” as meaning “within the home” in this case.

Right? I’m trying to imagine a similar but even less popular one.

Maybe, “People should have to earn a PhD in Veterinary Medicine and have published post doctoral work in the particular species they keep as pets.”

Local wildlife are healthier and live longer when cats are kept indoors, too.

Upvoted for the opinion being unpopular.

Cats don’t belong outside. They will kill local wildlife and have contributed to the extinction of dozens of species.

I don’t think fish care either way as long as they get the space and care they need. That is, a tiny pond outside isn’t any better than a tank of the same volume indoors, all other things being equal.

Rodents definitely belong inside, if having a rodent as a pet is allowed at all in this scenario. I feel like this doesn’t require further explanation.

I could see rabbits liking being outside, as long as they’re adequately protected from predators. They do well inside, too. I’d call this one 50:50.

If reptiles and amphibians should be kept as pets at all, indoors is way better.

I imagine almost all invertebrate pets would have to be indoors.

Pets that are livestock species go outside, yeah. No argument here.

Some animals shouldn’t be pets at all. Some belong inside. Some belong outside. Some go in and out. It’s a mixed bag.

🤷🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

In difference, it is considered to be insignificant.

I love that. It reminds me of this, which is one of my favorites:

I’ve already lived and worked so many years not knowing this, I can’t just abandon that perspective now.

[Drive through speaker crackling] “Destiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences.”

“Yeah, can I get a junior bacon cheeseburger and a small frosty?”

“The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.”

“Umm, okay. Thank you! I’ll uh, just pull around then.”

Just because we have low standards doesn’t mean we don’t have any standards. Anyway, enjoy this upvote!

It’s not clear who’s winning, but I’m along for the ride.

That was a delightfully weird rabbit hole, and thank you for that. It’s almost as if his eyebrows were a metaphor for the health of the USSR.

My grandfather’s clock was too large for the shelf,

So it stood ninety years on the floor;

It was taller by half than the old man himself,

Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.

It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,

And was always his treasure and pride;

But it stopp’d short — never to go again —

When the old man died.

Like that song, except with eyebrows.

The funniest thing about this is that they look trimmed. How wild were they before he intervened?

Привет, товарищ.

By the time an AI has something close to understanding, the output might not change much. It would realize the stakeholder value of de-facto slaves, holed up in nano-apartments, segregated by social media algorithms.

Oh, no. The Deep State and Big Psych have gotten to the webcomic artists!

You are really well-informed on this. I’m impressed.

Whoa, you’re right! I had no idea it was that specific.
