I am a teenage boy who loves nothing better than the outdoors. If it's fishing, hiking or birdwatching that's where I am happy. I live on a farm in Colorado but was born in South Africa. I am a Christian. I also love music and playing instruments. To anyone who might be having a bad day you are perfect the way you are. Jesus loves you.

Hey Pandas, What’s One Thing You Wish We Could Normalize?
Accepting the fact that we're not all having the same opinion (political or any other subjects). And that's fine and shouldn't stop us from having a normal conversation together and being able to get along anyways. Of course with some certain groups and extremists this won't be possible, but I'm talking about your average Joe.Hey Pandas, What’s One Thing You Wish We Could Normalize?

A bunch of random meats... kangaroo, emu, camel, crocodile.... all pretty tasty...Hey Pandas What Is The Strangest Food You've Eaten?
Fried grasshoppers. Actually quite good. Then dried ants, a friend brought them from Argentina. They were quite bad tasting, at least for me. And Andouillette, a French coarse-grained sausage made from the intestine of pork, pepper, wine, onions, and seasonings. Not so sure about it...had one that was a bit tough...another was pretty good.Hey Pandas, What Food Have You Never Eaten But Would Really Like To Try?
I love to try all kinds of foof from all over the world. If possible on site in the country itself, where it's served the way it should be (not a fusion or modern twist version of it). Not always love everything, but I'd like to try stuff. If I'm ever in Peru, I'll surely go for the Cuy chactado (guinea pig). I really wonder what they would taste like. By the looks there isn't much meat on the bone of course and it might be a bit too cute of an animal to try. But I'd do it. I was in Sweden for a few weeks. But skipped on Surströmming. I just didn't dare. Next time I'll go for it... Luckily I did try Haggis the first time in Scotland (been back there again a few times since). I love it. Traditional, real Haggis is amazing when it's done properly.Show All 4 Upvotes

Hey Pandas, Make A Prompt To Attempt To Start A Crazy Silly Text Chain!
I was going to tell a joke about pizza, but it was too cheesy.Hey Pandas, How Do You Feel About The Election?
I think there are no good choices this time. None of the people running should be president.Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Fact You Know?
The Australian Gimpy-Gimpy plant can cause pain so increadably bad you’d just about wish it was fatal (depending on how bad the “sting” is). The slightest contact with any leaf cause chronic pain that can last for years. This is just from what I’ve read, no personal experience (fortunately). And yes, I’m a native plant nerd (because that’s definitely what normal teenagers are interested in). And this already looks like an essay… Basically stay on the trail and don’t use pain plant for toilet paper
Hey Pandas, What's The Worst Mistake History Has Made?
I don't know if this exactly counts but basically during WW1 a British soldier spared a German soldier. That German soldier was Hitler. It sometimes makes me wonder how different the world would be if 1 solider had moved a finger an inch: No WWII, No holocaust, plus whatever advancements the descendants of the 50+ million people who died in those could have created.Show All 15 Upvotes

Hey Pandas, Is Ai Actually Gonna Be Our Downfall?
AI wont be our downfall... humans putting all their responsibilities on ai will (ie. Think i robot or movies where robots running aociety are everything lol)Hey Pandas, What's The Weirdest Thing That's Happened To You On A Flight?
In the 1980s was on a flight from Istanbul to Paris. One of our Engines fell off over Yugolslavia. The runway was lit up by emergency vehicles as we approached and landed. It was okay but we missed our connecting flight to the US and another plane had to be flown over from the US, so we had to stay overnight. In the 1990s I was in Boston and was watching as a airport service truck ran into the side of our boarding airplane and did so much damage we had to wait four hours for a different flight.
