Not really, we've just made it way easier to see what the average people are thinking/doing/believing at any given time. Kinda like how the "Florida Man" meme hinges entirely on Florida's sunshine laws making police reports freely accessible, thus making it seem like Floridians are getting arrested for zanier things just because they're the only place we can access the records, social media and the internet have made it easy to see every deranged opinion, widespread falsehood, and bizarre event that in earlier times would be lucky to make local news, now can get 10 million views on Twitter within hours of it happening. So it's all just a side effect of the ease and rapidness of modern unfiltered communication.

Sadly I don't think so. Humanity had two things going for it that allowed it to evolve into the game-changer they became; an incredibly high brain-to-mass ratio and opposable thumbs. Brain size plays a huge role in determining the cognitive capabilities of a species (to the point we can extrapolate about long-dead species like Troodons just by comparing their brain size to modern-day ancestors like birds) and opposable thumbs gave us the dexterity necessary to create tools and interact with our world however we see fit. Cats and dogs lack several of the biological factors that would spur a species towards evolutionarily advancing their intelligence to the point of true sentience.

Now, if humans had never evolved and I had to pick who might have taken over, I'd say octopi, on a hypothetical Earth that was entirely covered in water. They have big brains, prehensile tentacles, and have been observed creating tools, solving complex puzzles, and forming strong emotional bonds with their handlers. In another timeline I could totally see them as having taken over the planet instead of us.

Lol I'm a furry so I'm obviously a fan :P My primary character in the Into the Black RP series on this forum was an anthro fox, a corrupt police officer named Emilena. She was fun, I improved a ton as a writer through playing her over those years.



I think anthropomorphism is great for taking some of the restraints off storytelling and exploring more specific facets of the human condition under a microscope. Animals are very one-track for the most part, and so many exhibit their own specific personality traits that make for wonderful characterizations, it's a very useful medium for learning the nuances of writing and having fun at the same time.

RIP. So what was actually in the box? Since it’s the last puzzle, was it the key to the door?

That must be a strong hatch to succeed where chucking the box down a one-story ladder didn't

>:-P I'm just mad the program didn't actually find it, it totally should have even with just the E and no A. There's not even a punctuation mark in the way, rofl

Thanks Little Bro and Protege for reviving the thread!
