a dog's monetary worth is negatively correlated to how useful it is. if you spend $2000 on a dog it is liable to forget how to breathe but if you take home one you find eating garbage on the street it could probably be trained to gamble or maul children you don't like
I had a passenger on New Years eve tell me about the docu series on Netflix, "Don't fuck with cats"
It's definitely not suitable for the Kitten Pics thread
spoiler warning, they show some of the clips that led to the internet going after the cat killer, so don't watch if watching cats tortured and killed upsets you
(I fast forwarded past those parts, because that shit really gets me riled up)

Who likes flowers?
Back in the 80s I had two friends who grew them. While they were fascinated by them, I didn't like the smell of death. The goddamn flies however, they loved that stink
True story
Decades ago I inherited a house with so much clutter it took me years to eventually restore order. Anyhow, at some point I noticed these big black flies in the house. First there was just one, then a few more, and I knew it was bad news, because they were the flies that eat dead animals. So I had to track down the source, which eventually turned out to be a dead rat, By the time I found it the flies juvenile forms (maggots) had pretty much eaten every last edible part of it, so it didn't stink.
Rather than be upset, I realized what a perfect system. The dead stink, the flies come, the flies eat the rotting dead, they fly away. No more stink, and the new flies are off cleaning up the rest of the Universe.
