Gigantic meme time. :D

65. What TV show character would it be the most fun to change places with for a week?
I don't even care how fun being stranded would be in practice, I want to be on Lost! ♡ Change places with maybe Charlie - someone who doesn't have to do much, but also gets to meet all my favorite characters on a regular basis, especially Locke. :D (And he didn't get accidentally killed by Locke either, which is something I'd very much like to avoid too, lol.)

222. If you could talk to animals and they would understand you, but you couldn’t understand them, what would you do with that power?
I could properly reassure or at least distract panicking pets at the vet. :) This kind of superpower would also make someone a supervet instantly, but I don't think I could emotionally handle being a vet even with it, so someone who is not me should get it. :D

456. What do you think of the electric scooters you find in most big cities?
Good for the people who use them, but I've never done it myself. (I've never even used a scooter of any kind in the first place, I'm not sure if it's something you need to practice so that you don't fall over? xD)

Aww, that's a great answer! <3 (but, yeah, I would not want to be a vet either)

We have scooters here. I get annoyed at folks who don't stand them up properly and out of the way places. But I think they are a useful addition to a city whose pub-transit is not the best.

I think they should be driven on the road. With the note that I've only seem them used places where going on the road would have been safe. I wouldn't recommend it on the highway, but in a shopping center...

I agree with that, and here, where we do have bike lanes in most of the area with the scooters, I rarely see them on the sidewalks.

Awww, that's really sweet. I think I'd like that kind of ability, too, because there's a lot of animals who are distressed (not just at the vets, but in other situations too, such as rescues and at animal shelters and even just basic things like training) that I think it would be beneficial to have an ability that allows them to understand you even if you cannot understand them.

We have electric scooters in our downtown area, although it is annoying how they can be discarded randomly along the side of the road instead of where they should be relocated at, but y'know.

I've also never rode on a scooter, although I suspect that it's pretty simple if you're used to, say, riding bikes or rollarblades or something.

I just wish people wouldn't use them on sidewalks. Especially because they never stop or slow down, and always look at you dumbly when you hurry out of the way. I actually had a few kids almost run me over once, and I could tell they thought it was the funniest thing ever because I freaked out. (I'd say parents should tell their kids to be respectful of other people's space, but let's be real, they're not going to listen.*)

*Or the parents are just as rude. I've had adults do essentially the same thing, on bikes and scooters. I think they don't realize that there's something alarming about someone rushing right at you.)

Muahahahaha. :D

Yeah being stranded on an island may not be fun, but considering they seem to be able to survive, totally bearable for a week.

I love this altruistic look at the question. Go you! <3

You don't really fall over, they're easy to ride. My problem with them is that standing up for any length of time is bad for my back. So if I want to do something good for my back, I'll walk, and if I want to go somewhere fast, I'll take a bike. It's never going to be a scooter.
