teats, because in the holiday special malla(chewie's wife) does not have pronounced breasts, implying wookie teats.

I'm glad we addressed this.

dogs have 8-10 nipples, and wookies are reportedly based on dogs, so it may be a safe bet to up your estimate!

How the fuck do dogs have varying amounts of nipples?

2-3 = -1

I do not have negative nipples

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

It's on the inside.

Breeds and size.

how bulldogs have smash noses and retrievers have long snoots, for example.

larger breeds usually have bigger litters, so more teats.

i don't like that the site is named dog desires, but the article sounds legit.

Why assume they have either? They are aliens.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

why, indeed?

I'm not the op who made the assumption you're referring to, try asking them.

i assume they made their assumption for the sake of humor.

clearly a barn-burner.

Pecs come from having arms configured to be moved in multiple axes. If you didn't have pecs, you wouldn't be able to push your arms forcefully in front of you. Think of the classic advice (not entirely a good idea, mind you) on dealing with aggressive dogs: grab their front legs and pull them apart, ripping tendons, ligaments, and other painful goodies. They can't resist that because they don't have pectoral muscles like we do.

So wookies would have pecs. Their arms are configured, as we see, in a similar manner to ours. Deltoids and lats (and other muscles, obviously) to move the arms up and down, pectorals and rhomboids and serratus(es/i) and teres(i) (and other muscles, obviously) to move them front and back.

Closest analogue for a wookie to an earth animal is going to be a marsupial. They are arboreal, they get really angry and rage about but are supposedly peaceful, and it seems like they only have one kid at a time (we only ever saw a female wookie with one lump). They even have the noses of koalas. Thus they would likely have pouches, so maybe a nipple analogue would be buried in the pouch somewhere down by the abdomen.

Why did you sit in the front? You don’t sit in the front. Ever. Simple as.

[-] brisk@aussie.zone 7 points 11 months ago

That's highly cultural.

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place 6 points 11 months ago

fun fact: back in 2000s before Uber, I used to sit in the front every time. I thought it was more respectful of the cab driver for some reason 🤦‍♂️

[-] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 8 points 11 months ago

In Australia it was normal to sit up front with the cabbie and talk shit with them. Uber and Covid introduced the back seat thing here
