I got one person to read it, I am happy.

Make that two!

Good read, but is it really still that common to use “Indian” that way?

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 25 Apr 06:49 next collapse

It very much depends.

Like Inuits and Eskimos, some prefer one term and are offended by the other, and with others it’s the other way around…

Interesting. In Canada you only hear it from things named a while ago.

I imagine giant sloths as Ent-like, moving through the trees slowly, smelling this, eating that, not really worrying until there’s a weird little monkey with a stick with a rock on it.

Mmmm, no, very mammalian

This guy can’t lizardpost.

I mean the obvious answer is to smell and then eat them. That’s what I do.

You smell wonderful.

Giant sloth, we’re in the pleistocene.

You smell wonderful in this pleistocene.
