but if they were so big i'm sure some crazy people would have started domesticating them. would this lead to them being normal pets?

Hi! Can I join? (I find the current straw discussion to be fascinating)
Here's a really neat video about something similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egEraZP9yXQ
Username/Nickname: GatheringStorm/Sachto/Johnsti/ other names of characters I've made up
User ID: 134110
Pronouns?: Umm.. Yes. I know what they are. Or is there supposed to be a space? I am definitely pro nouns. Or at least, I'm not against them. I'm all for such an essential part of speech staying a part of the English language. Didn't know anyone was trying to get rid of them, though. Huh.
Just Joking: I/Me/Myself/They/She/Her/Them
What kind of nerd are you? (music, math, video games, etc.): Uhhhh.... Nothing really specific. I know a lot of random facts. I'm into science I guess? And chickens. I know a lot about chickens. Also, I just read a book about codes and ciphers, so I'm kind of on a kick about that. Oh and plants! I love plants, especially ones that are useful to humans (eg: edible, can be made into disinfectant etc.). I don't know too much about music or video games, but I'm all for learning about anything.
Notable Achievements (for fun, it can be anything you're proud of lol):
I can throw small rocks/sticks with my feet.
I am skilled with shooting rubber bands. (I used to be able to hit a light switch from across the room.)
I'm in the process of trying to make a pencil and paper version of Enigma (It started out as just a really complicated code... but then I realized that the Germans had already made a better version.) Still... I'm trying to incorporate other aspects into it too - like changing number bases throughout the message? So you wouldn't know if 12 referred to the letter that 12 represents or if it was actually 7 in base 5 or whatever?
Some random facts:
Cardinals (the birds) were named after Cardinals (the religious authority).
There are two types of earwax - a dry powdery kind and a yellow sticky kind (I have the yellow, sticky kind).
Aloe Vera is (in my opinion) one of the most useful plants ever. You can eat it (if you wash off the sap), you can apply it to your skin to help heal sunburn and other mild skin irritations and the sap can be used as a laxative.
The same chemical is responsible for both men's facial hair and their tenancy to go bald.
Apple seeds contain a chemical (I'll have to look up the name again. I think it started with an 'a'?) that releases a very small amount of cyanide into your bloodstream when you eat them.
Pinglist? (All, or specify which ones): yea (all)
Color Hex: probably either 2DA533 or 0305BC I like a lot of shades of green and blue.
Title, because titles: Ummm I don't know.... Bibliophile? Human Thesaurus? Chicken Lady? Take your pick.
Other?:
I have no musical talent whatsoever. I think was just about the only person in Honors Algebra ll this year that didn't play an instrument or sing or both. Oftentimes people just assumed I was in band or choir. Well, I'm not and their eardrums wouldn't want me to be. There. I'm done ranting about that. (To be clear: I totally respect and admire anyone who can sing or play an instrument. It's an amazing talent.)
That was really long.
Sorry :(

Hey there! Accepted, feel free to introduce yourself using the whole club pinglists.
(Also, remember to ping me next time or I might not see your post ^^)
There might be pancake throwing, get ready to duck.
(I suppose I should've been more specific on the pinglist question, do you want to join any of the specific pinglists other than the general one on the first page?)
Wait, so will I die if I eat apple seeds?

Only if you eat about 200 of them in a short span of time. :)
How do I ping?
Also, I would love to be added to Animals/Nature, Reading/Writing, Fantasy, History, STEM Stuff, Rants, and Dreams.
Pancakes sound delicious!
