Furries are all cyber security engineers so start each conversation with your favorite windows update so far.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maybe tell them you're a taxidermist? Although that might be a different kind of turn on.

Now, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Whatever just don't tell Lemmy you're a landlord

[–] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Good. Landlords should be scared.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

You got your rent check written up yet boot sucker?

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Oh brother. I'm not a landlord any more but if I was I'm sure I'd be petrified

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

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 102 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Unlike those industrial engineer peasants.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Well you see American manufacturing keeps getting hamstrung by an orange dipshit who thinks he's saving it

Maybe they want to get a spiderman style radioactive dog bite to turn into their ideal puppy form.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Unironically yes. Lots of variation in pay and prestige among different engineering disciplines. Manufacturing engineers are not typically very well paid from what I’ve seen.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That went directly over my head. Apparently I’m out of touch. Haven’t dated in many years.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, same. I didn’t realize being a furry was so expensive.

[–] ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah 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.

[–] faythofdragons@piefed.social 26 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Johnny Cash says otherwise lol

I think there's a large population only because this is inherently niche. And niche things attract niche interest groups in larger quantities.

TLDR FUR FREAK GALORE

[–] deur 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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)

The hacker known as Lemmy?

Atleast 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.

How does he know who's is a furry and who isn't at a party? Are they always dressed up?

[–] peregrin5@piefed.social 70 points 1 week ago

because he is at a furry party. they are all dressed up. him too.

[–] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

In my limited experience, they're pretty up front with it even when they're not wearing a fursuit or furry merch.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In a million years, I never would have guessed that this was an issue.

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

That's because you're not a nuclear engineer.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think I’ve only ever met 2 furries in my entire life. I don’t know where this person is that furries are so common. Then again, I’m not a nuclear engineer. Maybe radiation attracts furries?

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't know where this person is that furries are so common.

Seattle.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Lol I was gonna answer this too, even have a dedicated furry bar

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

This is one of those things that might not always be immediately obvious if you’re not plugged into that specific community.

I’ve never met a furry either. But completely by chance, I found out that my city of 160.000 people has a group who does regular furry walks. Basically, they’ll do a walk and meet the public once a month. I had no freaking clue we had that here. It wasn’t a thing I was looking for and never ran into. It was completely by chance that I read an article about it.

So uh, furries are probably closer than you think is my point 😀

Tell em you work for Boeing.

[–] mdurell@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Only if you really want to blow their doors off.

[–] darvocet@infosec.pub 26 points 1 week ago

He's obviously in his furry suit.

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Definitely a Seattle issue. We have a queer furry cidery—the first one in the US!

[–] TheCleric@lemmy.org 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

A building turning furries into cider? And people are happy about this?! I mean, we in he US will give miles of leeway to anyone if they check one “minority” box.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

but it's queer, so you know... it's really well designed, clean, the neighbors love it....

He should tell them he is a cyber security chad expert. That will stop them!

[–] DistrictSIX@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

"An nuclear engineer"? That's suspicious grammar for a nuclear engineer.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

This is how you know its not written by chat gpt
