@Sarov Fun fact! If I removed all your veins, and laid them end to end.... You'd be dead.

@JourneymanGeek Fun fact: That fact wasn't fun.

@Sarov fun fact. You're not dead.

OR AM I?!?

♫ I sing my Undead Lullaby ♫

@Sarov ahem

ARE YOU SAYING YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND?

I never claimed to have what I want.

There was so much dew on the meadows this morning that playing fetch was like taking a shower. You could see the water splashing when Xabi did his usual power slide.

He came back dripping.

Two-fer. Now no need for bath.

What is written on the locket? 🧐

@Sarov Schrodinger's Sarov

@motosubatsu Zombies are just quantum corpses. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

@Wolgwang It’s the city’s tax/registration number.

Wait no I lied quantum mechanics never makes sense.

> I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.

@Sarov I don’t bathe a GSD unless absolutely necessary. Too much hair in the drains, too long to get him dry.

@Stephie And now you don't have to! :D

@Stephie I didn't know dogs are registered. 🥲

Xabi has a very laid-back attitude to getting dirty. More like “Mud? What mud?” And “I don’t have to clean myself, the muck will just flake off.”

Cats are like adult dogs.

@Wolgwang Anything that gets money into the municipality’s coffers. ;-)

^ Can confirm

Was this discussed on pets.SE ?

Also I am thinking to give a bounty to two of any answers here. Any recommendations?

@AllisonC seconded!

@Wolgwang nope. But it’s become less critical as the procedure was adjusted due to feedback from other sites. Originally it was “we will probably change it” and then became “ping us, if you want to unpin”.

Feel free to open a matching Q/A on Meta - you could do it rather quickly with a bit of creative copy-paste.

@Stephie Ok I will try to ask it in a few days on meta.

Can I copy-paste it from gardening and landscape? Like quantum computing SE "Shamelessly copied from the homonymous question on physics.SE" :)

@Wolgwang Thanks for pointing that out, have a cooky for your effort 🍪. I didn't keep track of the discussion. If no-one is quicker, I'll probably create a Meta discussion tomorrow or on saturday

@Wolgwang I copied from Parenting and put a version on Seasoned Advice, Gardening and Landscaping and on Coffee.

Happy posting!

Most of us copied, which is kind of logical when distributing a Meta topic across the various sites.

@Wolgwang Ok, the polling stations are open. I would let the voting run for at least 2 weeks to give infrequent users a chance as well.

I had a very mixed opinion on that question.. but as I was trying to type out why it was mixed, I figured out which side I fall on. :)

@Elmy Hm. Shouldn’t we better have answers that outline the reason(s) why the poster recommends one over the other? For example on Parenting an excellent argument was that we want to keep what helped the specific asker because parenting is always subjective to a degree. Or in Coffee SE we get a lot of drive-by posters that sometimes just tick the first answer (not necessarily correct) and never come back while the community overall is comparatively “slow”, so good answers take a bit.

I would love to hear @AllisonC’s reasoning, for example.

@Stephie Sure. :) I've noticed a tendency with questions where the accepted answer isn't the top-voted answer is because of a questioner with an itchy trigger finger on that "accept" button just taking the first thing that comes in regardless of quality.

My initially being mixed on it was the idea that there might be an answer that better directly answers the questioner's situation, but people voted for another one instead, but that's really rare, and doesn't provide a great benefit to the next person looking at the question

@Stephie The way the question or answers are written isn't set in stone. I went with the easy route that made the final decision a clear yes or no. Of course people have different views and oppinions, but in the end we'll have to boil it down to yes or no.

@AllisonC I feel like votes on answers are much more biased by time than by accepts. The first answer that was written has a tendency to collect more votes, simply because more people see it than the latest answer. That's mostly a problem on bigger sites, though, where there are 5 or more answers and after upvoting a few people lose interest in reading all of them.

@Elmy I can definitely see that on bigger sites with a lot more action. I tend to stick mainly around here and Arts & Crafts, which are both smaller, and where I've definitely seen that trend of "I asked this five minutes ago and got an answer five seconds ago, accept!"
