Actually now that I’m thinking about it it would be really cool to have a homebrewed campaign where hybrid/animalistic races get advantages based on symbiotic relationships their animal side has in real life

Ruminate is actually when cows regurgitate grass from their stomach back up to chew on it even more, which is even better.

A few weeks ago I was chatting to some classmates and one of them said she believed eating cows was unethical, but horses were fine, because horses aren’t factory farmed like cows. And that if everyone ate horses the world would be a much better place. There’s so much to unpack there I can’t even start. Absolutely baffling. I think about it constantly.

I thought this was an interesting interview - there are some errors that read like the work of transcription software, but it’s mostly clear, and I appreciated how much thought Emily and Sarah put into their India/cricket build on the basis that since the build was to be smashed by a cricket ball, they didn’t want it to look like smashing India, that would just be offensive. They couldn’t do obvious national symbols like the Taj Mahal for that reason, which is why they went whimsical and created a banyan tree with teams of tigers and peacocks playing cricket underneath.
And that Liam and Emily’s dinosaur theme park featured herbivores only, because they’ve learned the lessons of Jurassic Park.

If there was one animal literacy thing I could change with a wave of a wand, it would be increasing people's understanding of how dangerous megafauna are. I think that in the US (and probably other Western countries too), we're so removed from wildlife and even large domesticated animals that people really have no perspective on how much a big animal can fuck you up. Even if they're "gentle."
This is a discussion going on on Twitter, too, the last few days: there was a thing where an Iditarod musher shot a moose to protect their team, and a lot of people are confused as to why that needed to happen. Apparently this moose had been hanging around the course for quite a while and was becoming quite dangerous to the sled dog teams. Moose are territorial and not to be fucked with. Everyone from Alaska or areas with moose are like "yup, that's just reality."
Same thing with the bison birth I watched last year. Folk really thought the staff should be in the habitat on the ground with the bison herd, helping with the birth. Sure, that's what we do with cows if we have to, but... bison are definitely not cows and, again, will squish you.
People tend to get it more with the predators. Few people will argue that a cougar or an alligator or a bear isn't dangerous. I think people kinda go both ways on wild pigs / boars depending on their experience. But herbivores or things that don't look traditionally pointy... it just kinda doesn't click.
Any large animal is probably stronger than you think and more likely to hurt you than you realize. Be it a dolphin, an elk, a sea lion, or even an emperor penguin... just don't go near them, buds.
