Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

Something interesting that happened to you
Something humourous that happened to you
Something frustrating that happened to you
A quick question
A request for recommendations
Pictures of your pet
A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

They say that awkward questions from kids are a good way to identify societal issues (as in if it's hard to answer because the answer paints society in a bad light).

Today I got asked why the dog doesn't wear a seatbelt in the car. I wasn't quite sure how to answer, since I think the reason is that we simply value the lives of our animal family members less than the human family members.
