It’s a trick. The jaguars killed Sebastián and used his phone to lure in more prey.
(Edit: As someone who’s contacted experts for research to improve Wikipedia, they’ve all seemed really happy that someone was interested enough in their subject to ask. If you have a question you’ve tried and failed to find an answer for, the worst they can ever do is say “no” or not reply. Try it sometime!)
no
How long do I get to pet the Jaguar before it kills me?
Is it sleeping? Or awake?
Yep, I’ve also gotten responses pretty reliably from professional artists, including those I’d assumed would be far too busy to answer (including the directors and writers of famous tv shows).
Sebastián, I have one very pressing question. Are jaguar soft?
FTFH.
Pro tip: don’t waste people’s time by forcing them to respond before you ask your question. Be polite and pleasant, AND ask your question at the same time. It saves both them and you a lot of time.
although this is usually correct, here it is important for the joke that setup and punchline are seperated by anticipation.
Thank you!
This is probably my biggest pet peeve. I stopped responding entirely, now I just wait until they ask their question. Eventually they’ll learn.
hi
I write all my messages like there will be a 5 day delay for a response. Some people think I am mistaking the chat app for an email service lol
Another thing that is irritating is when people
Type part of a sentence
And sends it
But continue on
And on
And you’re just like
Are you done?
It’s arguably less productive than asking to ask, as your attention is constantly grabbed to the new messages, instead of going back to your thing while waiting for the other to say their question
I do this except I’m just adding more sentences or rewriting my last message with more info
I do that too but then they answer the comment before ei finish the edit and I have to remind them to reread :(
Next question, can I visit and experience the softness myself?
Yes but only once
Forbidden dinner date
Right? Must pet spicy floof!
Can you imagine how it would feel if the Jaguar curled up in your lap and went to sleep?
I sure hope I can imagine it, because that’s as close as I’ll ever get XD
Why’d you remove your own upvote? You’re allowed to like the smell of your own.
It’s a server setting. Their instance doesn’t auto-upvote, and can’t downvote.
Neat.
I recently learned that kangaroos are soft, which surprised me as I always imagined them like weird deer and deer are not soft. I feel like this needs to be a list I can look at somewhere.
Are you looking for the Animal Smoothness Scale?
I wonder where humans lie on that scale. There’s such a range between ages, hormone levels, and even seasons (my hands are normally soft, but dry winter air is currently interfering with that.)
Animals vary from one to another as well though. Even in the same litter, you can have one with rough fur and one with fine soft fur. That’s besides the fact that there are many breed of deer.
This is an abuse of power. But since you’ve crossed the line already, could you ask about axolotles? Do they look happy even when they are sad?
I wish I didn’t know that. Now I really want to pet a jaguar.
I was 100% sure that would be the answer. Is there a feline that is rough?
I have one yes, very rough. Negative survival intincts. Got trapped once and didn’t even try to get out.
But are sharks smooth?
Depends on the angle.
No
They can be if they are attracted to you.
Very soft
Don’t just take Sebastian on his word. Ask him to send you a sample.
Sometimes jaguar sharp
