I think I’ve only ever met 2 furries in my entire life. I don’t know where this person is that furries are so common. Then again, I’m not a nuclear engineer. Maybe radiation attracts furries?

Seattle.

Lol I was gonna answer this too, even have a dedicated furry bar

This is one of those things that might not always be immediately obvious if you’re not plugged into that specific community.

I’ve never met a furry either. But completely by chance, I found out that my city of 160.000 people has a group who does regular furry walks. Basically, they’ll do a walk and meet the public once a month. I had no freaking clue we had that here. It wasn’t a thing I was looking for and never ran into. It was completely by chance that I read an article about it.

So uh, furries are probably closer than you think is my point 😀

Idk maybe he’s at a furry convention?

Furries are all cyber security engineers so start each conversation with your favorite windows update so far.

Only if you really want to blow their doors off.

In a million years, I never would have guessed that this was an issue.

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 30 points 6 days ago

That's because you're not a nuclear engineer.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Maybe tell them you're a taxidermist? Although that might be a different kind of turn on.

Now, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

[–] DistrictSIX@lemmy.zip 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

"An nuclear engineer"? That's suspicious grammar for a nuclear engineer.

I was a peer writing tutor at a top engineering school. I would be surprised if an engineer had verb-noun agreement. (That said, my kid was a nuclear engineer and is a great writer, so that is the danger of stereotypes...)

This is how you know its not written by chat gpt

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Whatever just don't tell Lemmy you're a landlord

[–] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Good. Landlords should be scared.

He's obviously in his furry suit.

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 16 points 6 days ago (6 children)

Definitely a Seattle issue. We have a queer furry cidery—the first one in the US!

[–] TheCleric@lemmy.org 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

A building turning furries into cider? And people are happy about this?! I mean, we in he US will give miles of leeway to anyone if they check one “minority” box.

He should tell them he is a cyber security chad expert. That will stop them!

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 13 points 6 days ago

The subcultures have all the fun

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Good to know PNW furries don't hit on my career.

I don’t see the problem
