      Holy shit, this is my son in a couple of decades!

      We are an animal-loving family. We have a tortoise. We go it when he was 3.

      It’s a species that gets big too. Sulcata, aka African Spurred Tortoise. In 6 years he’s gone from the size of a chicken nugget to the size of a thanksgiving turkey. Or a Halloween pumpkin, perhaps.

      When he’s 30 I hope to be able to offer him “appy bites” and think of the fediverse as he low-key scampers over. I could take a bite myself then let him chomp on the whole damn apple!

      He really likes his greens though. Like a little armored cow. Except for bright yellow dandelion blossoms. Holy shit those are his jam!

      Once I was in the exam room at a doctor’s office, waiting to be seen. After a decently long wait, one of the nurses came over and apologized for the delay, explaining “the doctor is a little tied up at the moment.” She turned around to leave, paused, then turned back to me to elaborate “uh … Not literally.”

    tendy, choccy, and appy just make my skin crawl when I hear anyone over the age of 5 say it.

        Fuck yeah. I would sometimes pull a snickers out of ny pocket asking co-workers if they wanted “pocky choccy” just to see them try to compute what I was saying.

      Appy feels weird to me. Not actually sure what tendy even is. Tender, as in chicken tender?

      But choccy is incredibly common here in Aus. Especially when “chocolate” is used as an adjective. You’re less likely (though certainly not unlikely) to hear “do you want some choccy”, but “do you want some choccy milk” is very normal.

        Yeah, tendy is a chicken tender. I don’t know if people actually use the phrase, but it was a joke used to talk about the fat internet (4chan in particular) person a long time ago, with them yelling to their mom for more tendies. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard anyone say it in real life, but I have heard people use it as a joke in video game chats, and in text all over the internet.

        Yeah, they only work in a baby voice. Either a baby saying it, or an adult in a baby voice is fine. If an adult is doing a baby voice and not talking to a pet or a baby though, something is probably off with them.

    Involving other people in your fetishes is weird, they need to stop (though I’m like 90% sure this story is made up).

      Aegyo is an acceptable gender performance and occasionally fetishized. Perhaps in this case assuming no creative writing, but id imagine in most cases people just want to seem cute or youthful/playful
