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!

Indian giant squirrel. Be a squirrel but fabulous.

Remy the rat from the hit movie Ratatouille

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

[-] WowMyNameIsUnique@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] PostnataleAbtreibung@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

I am totally with the capybara.

Yep, the only option really

[-] TawdryPorker@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I was here to say...

A man (or women) of culture I see!

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

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.

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

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

[-] RudeGryphon@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

A rodent of the people!

[-] sarchar@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago

Ferret! Just play and have fun 24/7.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

But... rodents...

[-] PostnataleAbtreibung@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] sarchar@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] RudeGryphon@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

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

[-] sarchar@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

Probably gonna need it twice daily.

[-] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I want to specifically be that capybara riding the crocodile.

[-] RudeGryphon@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Everyone needs a friend they can ride. 😬

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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

[-] soyagi@yiffit.net 4 points 11 months ago

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