Does it live in water?

 

[xtsukiyox]

Does it have feathers?

No.

Does it live in water?

No.

OK, I just talked to the s/o, and he said "you put it as animal? shouldn't it be mineral?"... The better consensus is that it doesn't really have a perfect category, but it's definitely not vegetable.

 

[owlegrad]

Does it have legs?

 

[xtsukiyox]

Does it have legs?

No, but if you'd like to rescind the question because of my late-edit note above, I'd agree.

 

[owlegrad]

No thats fine it counts.

Can't think of any animalish minerals right now though.

 

[xNeenax]

What does s/o mean?

 

[xNeenax]

Is it microscopic?

 

[xtsukiyox]

Is it microscopic?

No, you can touch & see it.

What does s/o mean?

Significant other. 😛

What does s/o mean?

I could have sworn we answered that in another thread.

 

[owlegrad]

Pet rock?

 

[xNeenax]

I could have sworn we answered that in another thread.

No! If you guys did then sorry I don't go memorizing ever single thread on this forum like some people do 🙄😛

 

[xNeenax]

Does it start with the letter P?

 

[xtsukiyox]

Pet rock?

No, but that's pretty funny. I would have put that solidly in "mineral" to begin with.

Things made by / of animals like leather coats also fit into "animal." (We never really figured out what plastic / petroleum is... mineral? animal? vegetable?)

Really? 😕

It's a mineral. lol

 

[xtsukiyox]

Does it start with the letter P?

No, not in any name variation I can think of.

 

[xtsukiyox]

Really? 😕

It's a mineral. lol

Yeah, but isn't it ultimately made of dead plant or animal?

ETA: +1 question to you folks because I asked a question. 😉

Edit again to add: The thing I'm thinking of isn't made of plastic or petrol.

 

[owlegrad]

Yeah, but isn't it ultimately made of dead plant or animal?

That would be like claiming crude oil is an animal or olive oil is a plant. That's silly.

Do you eat it?

 

[xtsukiyox]

That would be like claiming crude oil is an animal or olive oil is a plant. That's silly.

Well, olive oil isn't a mineral... Leather isn't a mineral either, but would be by similar points as classifying olive oil as a mineral.

Do you eat it?

It would be gross to eat it, but some people do.

 

[owlegrad]

Those would all fall under the heading "things" as in person place or thing.

 

[xtsukiyox]

That's true, but I think that's a different game. 😉

Whenever I play the animal/mineral/vegetable version in mixed company, there's always friendly banter about what fits into which category. *shrug*

 

[owlegrad]

Do you wear it?

 

[xtsukiyox]

Do you wear it?

No, at least not on purpose.

 

[xNeenax]

Does it live on the human body?

 

[xtsukiyox]

Does it live on the human body?

Yes, but I wouldn't say it lives.

 

[xNeenax]

Yes, but I wouldn't say it lives.

Is it on the hair?

 

[owlegrad]

Is it a part of the body? Like nails for example?

 

[xNeenax]

Can it move by itself?

 

[xtsukiyox]

Is it on the hair?

No, not unless it's a mistake (same as if you were wearing it).

Is it a part of the body? Like nails for example?

No - It's not specifically a part of the body, like what you'd learn in anatomy class.

Can it move by itself?

By gravity, I suppose. No, it has no other motility.

 

[xNeenax]

Does it start with the letter R?

 

[owlegrad]

Recap please.

 

[xtsukiyox]

- It may fall into animal category (I put it there originally) but the argument has been made for mineral; it is definitely not vegetable. It is also definitely a "thing" (person, place, thing).
- It does not walk on 4 legs.
- It is not an owle.
- It does not have feathers.
- It does not live in water.
- It does not have legs.
- It is not microscopic, you can touch & see it.
- It is not a pet rock.
- It does not start with the letter P in any name variation I can think of.
- It would be gross to eat it, but some people do.
- You don't wear it (at least not on purpose). 😉
- Does it live on the human body? Yes, but I wouldn't say it lives.
- It is not on the hair (again, at least not on purpose).
- It's not specifically a part of the body, like you'd learn in anatomy class (i.e., nails).
- It has no motility (besides gravity, I suppose).

Does it start with the letter R?

No, it does not start with the letter R in any name variation I can think of.
Just out of curiosity, why "R"?

 

[owlegrad]

Is it a liquid?

 

[pharm B]

Is it composed of living cells?

IDK I'm just throwing out letters for absolutely no reason 🙄😛

Does it start with any of the letters in my username?

 

[xtsukiyox]

You guys made me google. Which is going to make you giggle, when you get the answer.

Is it a liquid?

I suppose, until it dries out.

Is it composed of living cells?

Not primarily.

Does it start with any of the letters in my username?

See, this is more clever than just throwing out letters. 😀

There is one naming variation I can think of that starts with one of the letters in your name, but it's not the most common way I hear it.

 

[owlegrad]

This is a tough one. Although some of your answers make it tough to rule anything out.

Is it dirt?

 

[xNeenax]

I wasted everyone's chances by asking dumb questions 🙄

 

[xtsukiyox]

Is it dirt?

No. (Not primarily. )

 

[pharm B]

Is it a booger?

 

[xtsukiyox]

Is it a booger?

👍 Yessir!

Neena, I was thinking of "nasal mucus" when I answered earlier.

 

[owlegrad]

I understand your animal/mineral debate now, though I still think "thing" is a fine category.

Some of your replies are pretty funny. 👍 Wearing and eating are my personal fav.

I agree, perhaps I'll play it as "thing" if I ever choose a booger again. Now you see why I was amused I had to google it.

 

[xNeenax]

I don't understand it 😕
A booger is neither an animal or a mineral to me....
You're choice was kind of disgusting kiyo!

C'mon, you laughed, you know it.

The traditional game of 20 questions (at least how I've always played it), the person who gives the clue answers the question "animal, mineral, vegetable" first, and for free, then everyone else takes turns asking 20 yes-no questions. Out of those three, what is a booger?

Neither!

I didn't think it was funny.
If I do another analogy thing, I'm going to associate you with a booger 😀

 

[xtsukiyox]

So PharmB, ya gonna post one? 😀

 

[xtsukiyox]

New round - Animal, mineral, or vegetable?

Mineral. (In good faith, I don't think the category would be debated for what I have in mind.)


PS, Owle told me to. 😛 B, if you decide you want your turn, I will abdicate.

Saying "alot" alot is obviously self-referential.

Is that a question?

no, but I guess I'll ask a question
