teslasaurDoes Lemmy like nuclear engineers?
đ˝đđđđđđđđđIs Lemmy a furry?
I think thereâs a large population only because this is inherently niche. And niche things attract niche interest groups in larger quantities.
TLDR FUR FREAK GALORE
Or the same group of people who were going to be furries (predominately a thing developed on the internet) were going to first be deliberate internet users who then naturally discover lemmy.
Yes.
Tumblr is the crucible in which the furries were spawned. When you think about it Tumblr was the 4chan for women/people who write fan fiction. Wild West vibe.
When Pixar animated that lion on its back with fuck me eyes its been downhill since. They employed the people who humped their stuffed animals and werent told to stop.
Jokes aside I like seeing the different groups that share the similarity of being irritated by centrally controlled forums/ privacy on Lemmy. My kind of weirdos (for the most part)
Love being wrong
Furries have been on the Internet much longer than tumblr has existed. Perhaps even longer than the world wide web has existed: I know of at least one group that was on IRC in the 90s
They were big on usenet groups and loved talking about 90s children cartoons. Alt.tv.animaniacs and alt.tv.tiny-toon.fandom were notable and are still archived and browsable, though if youâre using something like Google groups you have to either search for key terms or be ready to flip past the 25+ years of spam posts that have been made since the groups were active in the 90s
www.animaniacs.info/ata/ - an old school poster still runs a faq on the animaniacs one. The person hosting this animaniacs site has to be 50-60+ years old. Note that another section of the site shows the show had a reference to adults obsessively documenting the show: www.animaniacs.info/pppgalf/ which was because the network was very much aware of them because they were sending cease and desists over erotic content like fanfic and ftps with porn
antifandom.com/âŚ/The_World's_Biggest_Tiny_Toon_Fa⌠tiny toons also had a similar reference, apparently, because of similar problems including tress macneille getting threatening letters and rule34 of her character mailed to her (though in those days it was just called fanart)
Like most things it seems like the majority of the group was probably fine, just super into a cartoon, and a few bad actors crossed the line which allowed the whole group to be painted as dangerous obsessive freaks. But back in the early 2000s this was one of the bigger examples of âfurries are creepsâ style punching down that was everywhere on the internet (and pretty much still is tbf)
Yup. That IRC group was in fact themed for one of those 90s cartoons (trying not to dox them too hard, for all I know they are still active. I know of them through a friend Iâve known since middle school, who doesnât talk much about the whole furry thing these days)
otterAFAIK, it was Disneyâs animated âRobin Hoodâ that did it first.
Iâm sure itâs been around longer, but if youâre going to give anyone credit, itâs gotta be Disney.
Hereâs a NSFW 1970s poster for you that doesnât look very different from todayâs. ebay.us/m/lC8tOr
A friend has made a compelling case that furries are a bioindicator species web communities. If the community hosts furries, it means things are going on there, if it doesnât host furries itâs probably not worth your time.

basiclemmon98Atleast from my own experience there is alot of it here. For some reason, top comments about sexual restriction-related posts on Lemmy tend towards the fear of bans coming for furries. Make of that what you will.
Any negative comments about their weirdness will not be met kindly here.

Iâm not pro-furry, and itâs clear that this statement on its own is sufficient advice â largely, regardless of its subject.
(fuck fascists, tankies, trolls, MAGAts, hexbear, ml, etc., though)
Ooh, blanket âfuck communistsâ? We really are gearing up for another world war.
Aw, youâre so tired on the keyboard front lines, you canât even quote a single line accurately?
Honey, you need a nap. You sound like a fucking idiot. Do better, Felisha. Bye.
When people started first migrating from reddit there was a TON of furry porn.
I think he understands the problem considering he mentioned his 200k income at the start of the post.
Fur suits are expensive so hes the perfect money source :D

Unlike those industrial engineer peasants.
Maybe they want to get a spiderman style radioactive dog bite to turn into their ideal puppy form.
Well you see American manufacturing keeps getting hamstrung by an orange dipshit who thinks heâs saving it
Heâs not trying to save it. Heâs simply creating market fluctuations and buying the dip. He creates conditions that cause investors to worry and stock prices to fall, then he buys when the prices are low and finally he announces that the tariffs are being postponed for 90+ days (that is, into the next financial quarter). Stock prices start to rise again and eventually they return to where they started, like it never happened.
In the meantime, people are losing jobs and their houses, but thatâs a small price to pay to make him and his inner circle wealthier.
We design the stuff here and have it made in China when we want to scale. Thereâs plenty of manufacturing engineer work, but itâs not in tooling.
This is an outdated mindset. Design and manufacturing work best together in a tight feedback loop, and China has become perfectly capable of doing their own design work. America has positioned itself to become nothing but a nation of consumers and venture capitalists.
atomicorangeUnironically yes. Lots of variation in pay and prestige among different engineering disciplines. Manufacturing engineers are not typically very well paid from what Iâve seen.
henfredemarsThat went directly over my head. Apparently Iâm out of touch. Havenât dated in many years.
BeesbeesbeesYeah, same. I didnât realize being a furry was so expensive.
WugmeisterYeah average fursuit costs around as much as a small car or motorbike. However, unlike a car, you can buy it one part at a time.

Youâll know itâs him when he comes to your townâŚ

A sugar buck?
spinnetroubleThis person either has the worldâs best furdar or the fucking worst, but there is no in between
SibboHow does he know whoâs is a furry and who isnât at a party? Are they always dressed up?
because he is at a furry party. they are all dressed up. him too.
In my limited experience, theyâre pretty up front with it even when theyâre not wearing a fuckin fursuit.
I donât see the problem
teft"can I be your fast breeder reactor?"
đ
I wonder if theyâd help me work out a system to pump some hot waste fluids in my bedroom.
peoplebeproblemsThe subcultures have all the fun
Good to know PNW furries donât hit on my career.
magnetosphereIn a million years, I never would have guessed that this was an issue.
Thatâs because youâre not a nuclear engineer.
Heâs obviously in his furry suit.
He should tell them he is a cyber security chad expert. That will stop them!
Definitely a Seattle issue. We have a queer furry cideryâthe first one in the US!
Is it for queer or furry or queer furries.
First openly queer and furry (together) was my understanding.
I think non queer furries are a tiny minority in that game
A queer building turning furries into cider? And people are happy about this?!
mojofrododojobut itâs queer, so you know⌠itâs really well designed, clean, the neighbors love itâŚ
RubberElectronsWhich one? Over by cap hill?
Itâs called Slightly Furry. Itâs in north Becon Hill, just north of I-90 right off the exit!
