Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit and is now exploring new vistas in social media.
- Comment on What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic? 6 months ago:
I was talking about the outer plastic.
The kind of cheese slices I'm thinking of are sort of a solidified cheeze-wiz substance, I suspect that if there was nothing between them they'd merge back together into the blob they were probably originally extruded from.

It bundles them together. Imagine buying a loose handful of slices, it doesn't work well.
- Comment on Is eating potato chips better than nothing in terms of pure nutrition and wholesomeness? 6 months ago:
If you're really that sick for that long, I would honestly call a doctor for some advice. Where I live there's a number, 811, for non-emergency medical advice. Maybe there's something like that where you are.
A while back my dad almost died from the flu because he couldn't eat well enough to keep his electrolytes balanced, you'll want to avoid that before it becomes potentially life threatening.
- Comment on What are some common everyday examples of this phenomenon? (see body) 7 months ago:
The classic Superstition in the Pigeon study by B. F. Skinner back in 1948 is always a good thing to read when this subject comes up.
Otherwise something awful might happen.
- Comment on Why are there circles of melted snow on this icy pond? 7 months ago:
There are species of seals who actively keep holes open in the ice to use as breathing holes, allowing them to hunt fish even in frozen-over bodies of water.
They're all ocean-dwelling species in the arctic or antarctic oceans, so this isn't the answer to your specific question, but I just think they're neat.

It's okay, that grammar error put you back in the "human" camp. For now.
