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?

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

Idk maybe he’s at a furry convention?
Furries are all cyber security engineers so start each conversation with your favorite windows update so far.
"An nuclear engineer"? That's suspicious grammar for a nuclear engineer.
I was a peer writing tutor at a top engineering school. I would be surprised if an engineer had verb-noun agreement. (That said, my kid was a nuclear engineer and is a great writer, so that is the danger of stereotypes...)
This is how you know its not written by chat gpt
Maybe tell them you're a taxidermist? Although that might be a different kind of turn on.
Nope, Chuck Testa.
Now, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Whatever just don't tell Lemmy you're a landlord
Good. Landlords should be scared.
or beans
You got your rent check written up yet boot sucker?
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
Unlike those industrial engineer peasants.
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.
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.
That went directly over my head. Apparently I’m out of touch. Haven’t dated in many years.

A sugar buck?
Is Lemmy a furry?
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
A friend has made a compelling case that furries are a key indicator species in web communities. If the community hosts furries, it means things are going on there, if it doesn't host furries it's probably not worth your time.
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.

How does he know who's is a furry and who isn't 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, they're pretty up front with it even when they're not wearing a fursuit or furry merch.
In a million years, I never would have guessed that this was an issue.
That's because you're not a nuclear engineer.
Tell em you work for Boeing.
Only if you really want to blow their doors off.
He's obviously in his furry suit.
