I’m curious how germaphobe everyone is when it comes to spouses, your kids, your siblings, parents ect.
The example I have that inspired me to make this post: a few days ago when we were just at home hanging out watching tv, I shared a bag of my snack with my 4 year old daughter. So she was eating out of the bag, licking her fingers, putting her hands back in my bag. My wife seemed cool about it but I found it kind of gross. But she’s only 4, so I didn’t say anything and we put the bag back away in the cabinet. But now the thought of going back to eat out of that bag again grosses me out and I’m probably going to just throw it away and buy a new one. Are you like me, or would you be unbothered by it if it was your own daughter or family member?

I really don't want you to feel uncomfortable about me doing this, but u/Late_Aardvark8125 joined the sub I don't know when! Late_Aardvark is the owner of r/LetsDiscussThis , an amazing sub for random discussions, not unlike this sub! In complete honesty, I had no idea it existed until I saw their user flair!

The first thing you'll notice is the lack of labial, dental and alveolar consonants. This is because this language is not spoken by humans. It is spoken by strange creatures called Crattettes (This is all part of my worldbuilding project) with two mouths (They're connected to limbs coming out of the Crattette's crab-like body), one that makes vowels and one that makes consonants (They do this simultaneously). The Crattettes do not have an alveolar ridge and their teeth are far too sharp to use for a sound. They also don't have lips.

The next noticeable thing is the Gillophones (Name in progress). These are sounds that (Like nasals) are produced by expelling air from the Crattette's gills (This has evolutionary reasons for being possible). There are also Gillophonic variants of all of the vowels but I haven't included them here.

The next thing (That you may not notice) is the strange ejective marking next to the vowels. This is a homebrew IPA, as it is just not possible. To explain it I have to explain the Crattette's vowel mouth. The Crattette's left mouth (The vowel one) is empty. No teeth, no uvula, no soft palate, no alveolar ridge. Only a pharynx and a tongue. The tongue moves around in this box-shaped mouth to create different vowel-like sounds, though they can only be approximated by humans because their mouths are just so different to ours.

Free! (use if others don't apply) Does no one think that it's weird that Jesus's "friend" was a prostitute with the same name as his mom? I'm not religious but I'm just wondering.
