Seems like the tiny little boards were the only ones spared the madness and noiseposting that has infected the rest of the site. /an/ is still largely the same as it was 20 years ago. We can still talk about the animals we care about like we always did. Thanks for giving me a place like that. You don't know how much it means.Anyways. Sorry for the sappy post. I just realized today that this is one of the last places on the site where I can get a genuine human interaction instead of whatever nightmare social experiment the rest of the place has become and I wanted to let you know that I was grateful. Mods feel free to delete. Also here's my tortoise Scrubs. I got housing advice for him on here almost a decade ago now. Upgraded him from a fish tank with dirt to a little tortoise palace.
>>5173068uh... your welcome.
>>5173068Anyone ever tell you that you talk like a fucking dork?
>>5173075>Grass: your attitude>Duck: OP
>>5173068>/an/ is still largely the same as it was 20 years agoBig dawg, it’s been the same 12 of us talking to each other for the last 20 years. The board can’t change when the users don’t change.lol either way Scrubs is a nice looking tortoise and that’s a good picture.
>>5173068I have the same species of tortoise, and mine also has an overgrown beak. I'm still trying to troubleshoot a way to keep it down, 14 years in. Would welcome some others to chime in. Mine eats off a clay dish, refuses pellets. Not sure what else there is out there.
We still have issues with trolls gleefully posting about animal abuse and habitat destruction, denying evolution, etc, but its still one of the highest quality boards on the site. Also love you tortoise fren, make sure to give him tons of exercise. Might be time to give him some tough foods like full sized carrots to help wear that beak down a little too.
>>5173081>Big dawg, it’s been the same 12 of us talking to each other for the last 20 years. The board can’t change when the users don’t change.plot twist: >The entirety of 4chan is like 50 maybe 100 people larping as multiple posters on every board every day cause reee anonymity is like a drug for them
>>5173089>>5173110I've tried cuttlebone or having a rock in his enclosure but haven't had much success. So these days I just take him into a vet once a year or so for a beak trim with a dremel. Picrel is how he used to get exercise back home. He would zoom around to eat all the dandelions and the balloon would keep him from getting lost.
don't forget you are still on 4chan
>>5173153I use a slate and mix harder foods into her diet but it does seem to just delay the inevitable, I'm gonna have to take her eventually. Remember not to stand too far away when he's outside because of hawks lol. My baby loves dandelions too, it's crazy how much energy they have. I had to move her enclosure out of my bedroom because she used to just slam her shell against the side of her enclosure for HOURS when she wanted attention.
>>5173212Thankfully that picture was taken back when I lived with my folks in a suburb outside Chicago. So not many bigger birds around. I had inadvertently taught mine to knock like that when hungry too, lol. But since then I've upgraded him to this palace and he stopped. It's actually 2 tortoise tables pushed together in the middle.
>>5173219Ugh
>>5173068>I am so glad nobody is talking about "thing">Therefore I must bring up "thing" in a lengthy post so I can make people talk about not talking about "thing"Not slick enough
>>5173221And naturally any attempt I make to argue otherwise is just part of the psyop. But you're too clever for me.
>>5173221I might as well shoot my shot though. It wasn't even so much a relief about certain topics not being brought up but an entirely different way of interacting. On other boards a new product from X company comes out and instead of seeing genuine excitement over it you see a smug "Oh no Y-sisters! What do we do!?" post. Or in other boards you'll see a post bringing up some bad event or some form of rage bait with a "how do we fix X" when clearly it's just a rhetorical question being posed to post something that angers people.4chan has always had a different culture but it never used to be like this. It's not a specific political view or opinion that has ruined other boards so thoroughly. It's some kind of horrific mindvirus that has rendered any form of sincere discussion on anything at all impossible.
>>5173243He's right though. You're harshing the board by mentioning you're escaping from something it immediately brings up what that something is. The best thing you can do is just carry on. That's what you like about this place and that's what we want from you not this.
>>5173244Could be. And if I bothered you I apologize. But to me it feels more like stepping inside and mentioning how nasty it is outside. If anything it heightens the enjoyment of the inside.
>>5173245For you, it does the opposite for us
>>5173243pls be quiet
>>5173221>>5173244You guys are retarded its nice when people say kind and positive things about you on the internet. I appreciate that OP appreciates my posting.
>>5173293Nice and positive things that are off-topic are still off-topic and lead to people trying to slip in whatever other selfserving nonsense. We are not a digital hug or a proxy for a friend. Get back to whatever cock sucking board you came from.
>>5173253why do they look so evil.
>>5173301They know that being selectively bred to look cool has given them the short end of the stick genetically and their out for vengeance.
>>5173068I, too, appreciate that our collective autism is continuously animal/nature-based. That’s what a blue board should be. We are a shining example and other blue boards should strive to be like us.
>>5173293this. don't let the gay negativity of other boards infest this place. Enjoy things, enjoy life.
>>5173157This is my first time on this board and I was going to say that I appreciate that people are still calling each other faggots and retards and the like, despite the good vibes and on topic threads
>>5173068That's a pretty epic tortoise
>>5173068Also i think you should feed it harder food. That beak is very long
>>5173253Lord Voldemort
>>5173068>/an/ is still largely the same as it was 20 years ago.either you're actually a newfag or you haven't been back here long enough. even from just 2 years ago this board has had a precipitous drop in quality (and in post count) and the jannies are 100% complicit in letting it all happen.
