What are some of the changes you would expect in a furry reality? (yiffit.net)

Everyday things would be different. You have to account for tails everywhere. Bandaids wouldn't work with fur. Would shirts be worn, or would natural fur coats be all that is there? Food workers would have full body nets. Claw tips come out of a different area and would make some tasks that use fingertips difficult (typing)...

Public restrooms would have dedicated hairball disposal stalls with a new kind of toilet that is up around chest height.

That brings up a question, would you self groom with licking resulting in the hairballs, or would there be a grooming industry and products built up around self care that prevents them in the first place?

[–] Burgerlurker@burggit.moe 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Absolutely both lol. There would be a heavy artificial market for grooming products built upon manufactured social pressure, just like in real life. But also just like in real life there will be those hippie weirdos who insist on only natural self grooming without product.

Some social pressure, but if shedding is a thing, I'm sure there would be a tendency to want to take care of that without any external marketing pressure. It's an interesting thought experiment to what sorts of extras would have manufactured pressure, overall hair/fur trimming, whisker trimming, maintaining poodle looks...
