Easy: House cat.

One of the well-looked-after, non-abused ones, naturally.

I already know about the monkey’s paw curses for that.

You have the constant recurrent belief that your owners are not pampering you at all times on purpose. And that they’re basically stupid big kittens who meow all the time and are terrible hunters. And that they control the rain but won’t turn it off for you. And also I don’t like this brand of food any more.

And hairballs.

I suppose it’s time I had another nap.

… but I think I can live with all that.

Man called Cissé cracks down on homosexuals.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say he was compensating for something.

Considering there’s rarely anyone around for me to say anything to, I’d probably let fly a few choice words and then start trying to work out where the next one was going to land and try to be under it.

That’s assuming you mean nuclear mushroom cloud anyway.

Other, sufficiently large ordnance also generates mushroom clouds and we’ve recovered from a handful of those before.

So any research would be trying to find out whether it was nuclear or not.

I’ve seen Threads. And a whole heap of post-apocalypse stories. I do not want to live in those worlds.

Prediction: The 3D TV will return in the next five years, with AI to turn 2D TV shows into 3D.

Heck, if I invited people over and told them I was going to cook them a meal, their heads might explode. The “what” would be entirely incidental.

But it would probably be a Sunday dinner. Beef, pork or lamb.

And I’d probably have to borrow someone else’s house for it or set up a tent in the back yard because there’s barely room to swing a cat in here.

So what you’re saying is that I’m falling victim to a No True Scotsman fallacy.

I guess I’ll have to go away and think about that.

In before something like “The option does exist, but single article access is the same price as the minimum subscription. Thanks for contacting customer support.”

Are you suggesting that people who torture children aren’t subhuman scum?

Look up the paradox of intolerance. This is an instance of it.

Those who dehumanise are the true subhumans.

That looks vaguely like a letter C to the left of the cap, assuming the wheat ear is rotated to be vertical, but I can’t make out anything else quite so clearly.

I also suspect that the oval shape that contained the branding was all a shade of orange or red, not unlike that small area towards the middle.

Reds are among the first colours to bleach, and it may be that something protected that one small area, like maybe the sort of sticky price labels that were once common, so that would explain why there’s not much of it left.

CaNaCl sounds like a card game you play with grandma.

I hope being part of the British Commonwealth doesn’t exclude them.

Not being sarcastic.

The link, however tenuous, to Britain and our asinine degree of exceptionalism shouldn’t be a stumbling block, but I can see Europe - especially France - considering that to be a problem.
