We should find a microwave big enough to fit you inside.

She apparently holds the lives of soulless beasts above that of human beings.

Are you in PETA?

Oh god, don't say that, about people sized microwaves.

I worked as a chef in LA for 3 years, and we had our own walk-in oven. I had nightmares about being locked in that thing and cooked alive.

Scary stuff.

I post a cool article on how a bacteria that reproduces in cats but is carried by others (including humans) has the ability to impact our thoughts and actions, and the PC's answer is to immediately resurrect an absurd thread on microwaving cats. I suppose I should not be surprised.

What's absurd about it? Killing all cats would eliminate future problems, and what happens when you microwave a cat? It dies. Problem solved.

A) Killing all cats is an interesting scenario, and would cause problems. [what I thought but didn't post]Imagine the economic ramifications of a sudden kat-nip surplus, or the spike in psychiatric care for former cat ladies.

B) I'd rather deal with going slightly more crazy with cats in my house than deal with mice.

EDIT: I am dumb and have been told I should feel bad about it.

Do you really believe that I'm seriously recommending that all cats be destroyed?

Man, I hate having to say, "I was just joking!"

Do people really not get it?

Sad.

My response was hasty and not specific enough, so... fair I guess. I'll edit after posting this

Did I think you were serious, no. I expressed two thoughts shitily from my phone after too little sleep.

They'll be ok. They were the first to know and invested in microwave manufacturers stock.

Yep. Cairns and other terriers have a reason to exist apart from cuteness.

I am not. It is also yet to be proven that you are a human being.

It was proven at the time of birth.

Even with the lack of genitals, they were able to make the call, huh?

The ones you keep in a jar under your bed don't count, Gelly!

So what you're saying is that they shriveled up and fell off and you don't really have them, then...

Yeah. She was pretty damn vile. I had to bathe in holy water to stop the corruption from spreading further.

They grew back though. Mars has great tech.
