Don't mind me just mowing my roof.

Green roofs have a huge list of benefits.

  1. They keep the place better insulated, both warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
  2. They help reduce local air temperature, particularly in cities, by reducing reflected sunlight / radiation.
  3. You can farm animals on them(see https://oldcountrymarket.com/ )
  4. You can have a rooftop garden and bee colonies. See the western half of Vancouver BCs Convention Center. Where they maintain a wildflower garden and beehives on the roof of the building and the chefs inside the building harvest honey from the beehives.

Only fault of the realtor is they didnt get the place landscaped prior to the photo.

where's my fur coat smh

Ears are wrong since they suggest directional ears, but we don't have the muscle, or critically the ligament attachment points on the skull, for that.

As far as claws go, again, no marks of strong cartilege / ligament / bed on the fingers and toes that would indicate functional claws.

Nipples: the smoking gun would be a pregnant woman or an infant, but theyd be able to see that unlike rodents, humans arent having more than two babies at a time outside of extremely rare cases, more than two babies just dont have room to fully gestate, so theyd likely cut that number down.

Fur: the sheer amount of plastic clothing we've generated will put that to rest fast.

Whiskers: There would be ligament attachment marks on the skull where the muscles used to move them would have been. Also maybe blood vessel/neuron marks on the bones.

Also the almost complete lack of snout would indicate heavy hand usage and not diving into things headfirst like rodents and cats have to.

Fun fact on Sony:

Warframe, regardless of what you think of Digital Extremes, had cross platform play pushed last year out, more recently cross platform save too. Both worked out of the gate when launched, they did their homework.

At its inception, each platform had its own little icon beside the player name to indicate what device they were on.

Sony took a look at the system and apparently freaked out that there was the potential of a PS player losing a PvP match to an Xbox or Switch player and demanded via legal threats that it be changed immediately.

MS didn't seem to care and I think Nintendo was just amazed a half decent looking game with as many mechanics as Warframe can run on the Switch.

So now, players can see who is on their platform, and a universal icon if they aren't.

MBAs who contract dev work out to India to make a quick buck without realizing how bad the code they're going to get back usually is.

Shoutout to Raj the QA lead I worked with in India though. That dude's team was thorough.
