I designed and printed a custom nose guard to help my dog with DLE

Yes; that's my point. Is there a way of making the internet better, such that this can be handled more seamlessly, so that the people impacted by things that others find mild can just...avoid it? Not all internet has a landing page where someone can post a "trigger warning" (for lack of a better term). Nor should it: trigger warnings don't work, and may even be harmful.
Now this actually sounds like a good use-case for LLM/'AI'-enhanced browsers. Everyone has different triggers and YUK! levels and it would take an insane amount of time & effort to encode all that, and setup on each different person's client side, but an 'AI-browser' with 'smart filtering' (or whatever they'd call it) would likely be quick to setup for each user's (dis-)tastes and be quite flexible in recognizing the…
I worked on that for a little while on 2022, for kids!
Definitely an opportunity there.

#53I've had dogs for the better part of my life and not a single time was a 'foxtail' an issue, whereas grasses that grow these kind of constructs are pretty common around here. Did I (and my dogs!) get lucky? How common are these issues?
I have a tiny long-haired dog (the first dog I've ever had) and I'm glad our first trainer/behaviourist mentioned the dangers of foxtails to us. We casually asked the vet if it was a problem and she said they see around 2-3 animals a week with issues caused by foxtails during the late summer/early autumn months. This is in the Southern UK. It's been getting drier and drier every year. And subsequently more and more foxtails seem to be appearing.
The main issue we've found is she gets them stuck under her "armpits" and under the tail. Places that make them very difficult to find. Even more insidious is when they embed themselves in the harness, only to make an appearance weeks or months later when the outdoor foxtails have mostly been cut down.
The problem is that they can work their way under the skin with a barbed spike that is one-way only. So if they get deep enough the only remedy is to cut the skin with a scalpel - by the vet of course.

Serious question: should the whole internet have content warnings for anything that might be found objectionable by someone? This seems super mild. Maybe embed it in site metadata, and then you specify your preferred experience in your browser of choice?

Never seen roadkill? Or a bird pecked to death by other birds? Biology is brutal, reality is brutal, this is very mild.

This is interesting. Foxtails are pretty common where I live, so common that one species of Foxtail has the name of the city (Bromus madritensis) (Madrid, Spain). Not a single time it has affected any of my dogs or even heard about it being a problem at all. I wonder if it's not all species of Foxtail

This was already tried literally decades ago[0].
Now answer some questions:
what should happen when some objectionable people would access a site what doesn't have anything in the site metadata?
what should happen when some very objectionable people would access a site what do have all the required data in the site metadata and they would still complain?
Also you are clearly missing the usual "think about the children" drivel.

#60How wonderful! Also, please tell me you at least _considered_ naming it the "Snoot Boot…"
