Don’t go petting Bison.
I don’t really care if you die but they don’t like people petting them, and those of us who respect them enough to just watch them don’t want overfamiliar people causing them to stay too far away for us to see them.
Do feel free to pay a visit to a pet shelter and spread some love around even if you can’t take one home.
You made points others didn’t, and your edit demonstrates another aspect of the alone/crowd response to a prompt.
Laughing with a “crowd” supports you until you realize you were alone all the time, whereas thinking you’re the only commenter frees you to share your insights, but finding you were part of a crowd made you embarrassed about it. Don’t be. We all know being first allows comments to get more points, but more slowly typed comments also add value to the conversation.
