See, I could argue for sentience in vegetables (self-awareness on the other hand, not so much).

For those that have not heard it.

I do have a good friend who is vegetarian, and who explains her reasoning as, "You can't exactly torture a vegetable to cut costs." If there were ever a sentiment that could convince me to go vegetarian, this would be it.
And in the shade.
And near a cave.
That sense that the creature is more. Elephants, some higher primates and some dolphins/whales seem to have it. They mourn their dead, create art (if given the tools) and have rituals.
There are some dogs I would consider it murder to kill for their meat, and some humans I wouldn't. So I definitely know what you mean.
I think I've always had a soft spot for brawling-based action heroes anyway. I always find myself wishing there were more of them, or wanting to cram existing figures into the category.
I won't deny the 'pretty', but that boy could be ugly as a rotten tomato and I'd still be a fan, so long as he keeps his acting chops. Some may disagree with me, but I think he's one of the better American actors of the day. Along with Robert Downey Jr. Iron man = <3Well, according to my friend, Steve (well, Chris Evans) doesn't look silly doing anything. I had to hear about "how pretty" he was during all of Captain America and the Avengers.
I...
I'm with my people.
Oh, God, I've been so alone.
I have a very large rack!
Eight? Jesus... I once discovered 3 in my bedroom at once and was this close to just signing over the lease to them and quietly removing myself.
If there is a wasp within seeing distance of me, I can not do anything except follow it around with my eyes. I may even occasionally forget to keep breathing. XD
ROFLMAO! City folks! You so funny!
I had a wasp land on my bare flesh yesterday. I grumbled at it until it flew away. I had one land in my hair once; I got stung because I didn't position my fingers right when I picked it up to be rid of it. I have some friends, brothers, who have the funniest way of dealing with wasps: one of them catches them by the wings with a pair of needle-nose pliers, and then throws them on the ground, where is brother smashes them with a ball-peen hammer. Yeah, there's generally alcohol involved.
Wasps ain't scary. Spiders, on the other hand....
I once saw an owl carry off a small house cat. That was a strange day.
I disagree with your thesis Liosse. There are no cute spiders. Ever. By their very definition anything with that many legs, than many eyes, and that can cling to any surface can never be cute. It can only ever be horrifying.
I tend to have a rule that if it's clever enough I could argue for sentience I won't eat it.
So, I was sat here, reading internet things, headphones on, singing along. Happy in my own little world. I turn around, and there is a husband sat on the sofa where there was no husband before.
Somehow he opened the door, came up the stairs and settled himself onto the sofa without me noticing. It was a bit of a shock.
And then I licked his forehead.
On the tail end of our creepiness conversation, anyone who has not given this a listen at least once should. You might laugh at it or might find it genuinely creepy, but either way it's interesting.
Definitely not realistic at all, but what internet creep story is?
Um, squick warnings for blood and trigger warnings for wartime medical-y stuff.
Night, fellow weirdos. It's nearly 1am here, so it's up the wooden hill to bedfordshire.
AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON PIGS YOU SICK EATERS OF MASS PRODUCED BACON!
Donner, party of 15.I tend to have a rule that if it's clever enough I could argue for sentience I won't eat it.
So...there are some humans you'd eat, then?
Mmmmm....bacon...AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON PIGS YOU SICK EATERS OF MASS PRODUCED BACON!

*hides*
That's what I do, sir.(Thank you. I knew if no one else would, you would get that.)
Ever played Bioshock?
The splicers were based physically on early attempts on reconstructive plastic surgery for WWI veterans.
I'M JUDGING YOU!
You look in an animal's eyes before you eat him/her or his/her kin!
Still judging!
Yes.You look in an animal's eyes before you eat him/her or his/her kin!
Mmmmm....bacon eyes.Bacon eyes? You mean, like, two over easy eggs above the bacon (which forms a mouth)?
Will you believe me when I tell you I have never, in my life, played any videogame in the known universe? There are three I have watched someone else play: COD, that one with characters from Mario and Zelda and shizz duelling eachother, and Portal.
But one of the things I find interesting about that vid is that if you take out the girlish giggling and the wooooo they all diiiiiiied within a mooooonth and have him use only skin as opposed to all flesh, I can actually see someone working under those conditions entering into a dissociative state that would allow them to do that. It would be quite unlikely, but far from unheard of.
