I would also be a capybara.

Beaver. They build themselves a fortress with a moat and underwater entrances and they have that big ass tail they can slap on the water.

Found the engineer!

I am totally with the capybara.

Remy the rat from the hit movie Ratatouille

Can you cook well or do you just have a hair pulling kink?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well I'm not one to rule anything out...

Indian giant squirrel. Be a squirrel but fabulous.

One of the rats in the nonexistent 1980s production Rat Park, the funky Canadian comedy animal show based on the research of Bruce K. Alexander with uncredited riffs on themes from Robert K. O'Brien's 1971 novel Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.

Unfortunately, Rat Park was retroactively canceled by copyright-enforcing time-travelers after the release of the 1982 American cartoon film The Secret of NIMH which rewrote the biochemical uplift of intelligent rodents into a story about wizards and magic.

Oddly specific. I love it

Yep, the only option really

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I was here to say...

A man (or women) of culture I see!

This might be one of the most clever answers to this question I've received. Great choice. May you find mutant turtles you can raise one day.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Probably a rat. I would only live 2-3 years, but they'd hopefully be a good 2-3 years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Marmot/Groundhog/Woodchuck/Whistlepig. I want to be relied upon to predict the Spring forecast over and over and over and over.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

A rodent of the people!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Mickey Mouse. He never has money troubles and barely seems to age.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want to specifically be that capybara riding the crocodile.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Everyone needs a friend they can ride. 😬

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Nicknamed Rodent in high school so I guess I'd be me.

[–] sarchar 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ferret! Just play and have fun 24/7.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

But... rodents...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would have answered ferrets, but unfortunately they aren’t rodents

[–] sarchar 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not the smartest rat in the pack! Oh well!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love that attitude. I hope you love your best ferret life. Just remember to shower.

[–] sarchar 1 points 1 year ago

Probably gonna need it twice daily.
