what's your favorite drink? and planet?
Favorite drink: Ginger ale. Either Vernors (a very soft and sweet ginger ale; tragically underrated and hard to find on the west coast), or very sharp brands on the other end of the spectrum. Things in between like canada dry are not very good in my opinion though.
Favorite planet: I guess Earth? Idk, planets as a category aren’t something I really think about all that much but there’s some awesome stuff here, and like we have all these plants and animals? I love them. Even if we as a species eventually manage to discover literally everything on our home planet, and collect all that knowledge so there’s “nothing left to discover”, there’s just so much here that an individual person if they seek it out will never stop finding things to learn about this planet and the things that live here in their lifetime. And all the things to learn are so great! Like do you know about pangolins? They’re precious! And Spanish Moss, it’s actually not a moss or anything like that; it’s a bromeliad meaning it’s related to pineapples! So it looks like dull moss but if you look closely you can see little flowers! That’s so cool! Hoatzins are a bird that grows claws on their wings like fucking dragons when they’re babies and they use them to climb trees! And they’re such gorgeous birds! And did you know that various species of corvids have demonstrated having legit societies where they play organized games, have local cultures, differing societal structures within the same species, hooligan subcultures, they mourn for their dead very very loudly, and have been known to form what appear to be actual friendships with humans who are nice to them? I think all that is so beautiful in its own way. And we as a species can be pretty fucked up but there’s still a lot of beauty in humans, and there’s so much to learn about each other individually and culturally. I can be pretty pessimistic about us, being a member of a corrupt western society, but I do love this planet a lot when I get thinking about it
