gf: "you ever notice that cat people also usually really like sharks? i guess it's because sharks are cat coded"
she's... right about this? i think???
@halcy yes, I saw a program about sharks where they turned them on their back and rubbed their bellies to calm them.

@Phoibi i went to an aquarium years ago where they had some sharks in a nice tank, and then next to it they had something that was like, fake shark hide that you could touch

I wanna touch the sharks...

@halcy @Phoibi some aquariums have small dogfish sharks you can pet, i've done it

edit: i have just learned that what i petted was probably a catshark 😸

Although they are generally known as catsharks, some species can also be called dogfish due to previous naming.

@vyr @Phoibi hey i have a question for any biologists:

what

@Phoibi @halcy fish naming makes GPU naming look restrained, organized, and tasteful
