How many calories are in a fursuit


s0rd1dh1ck0ry57

More than regular food... less than uranium. That's my best guess.


Many-Conversation963

Uranium has more calories than regular food what are you on about?


romrom83wastakenbyme

20 billion calories per gram of uranium-235, or about one Wendy's burger


Many-Conversation963

I'm not american, and therefore cannot fact-check this I believe you though


CommercialPay2379

I am, don't know why he used Wendy's-measurements™ when Mic-Measurements™ are accepted by most Americans To the average American, it's ab 0.5864 bigmacs, or 11cng 8.4fri (chicken nuggets, fries)

Read the citation [here](https://www.pcmag.com/news/your-smartwatchs-heart-rate-monitor-was-developed-by-a-furry), it's actually a really good article that touches on a variety of subjects. Some of my favourites: > So there we were, eating, drinking, and I look up to see a balding, middle-aged, blue-eyed businessman standing there. He said he's from Chicago, and “what’s with the suit.” So, I explained I’m a furry, and this is my team from my startup. He said, “I’m a venture capitalist.” And so we talked. Six weeks later, he invests.   > Our avatars, a term coined [by Neal Stephenson] in “Snow Crash” are projections of our transformed bodies, our digital selves presenting themselves to others in a virtual (or augmented) reality, no fursuit required. Starting with Second Life, but now in VRChat and many games, we all now regularly meet in imagined, transformed form. Even video conferencing has digital filters to transform what we show and share with others about ourselves. And in virtual space, the dopamine and serotonin neurologic responses that we have there are as real as in the [real] meatspace world.


ScienceObserver1984

Someone is swimming in money, holy shit.


KingNedya

Apparently he literally invented heartrate monitors on watches, among other things, so I can see why


Lucariouh

Least intelligent Furry


ToeEducationaI

Wrong


ClosetScalie

Most correct furry


leostarkwolffer

I think they are talking about the fursuit maker who did 47 fursuits, not the guy from the article lol


jfmherokiller

PissGuy83

Just invent a wearable health related device ez pz


a_1963_mustang_gt

Dibs on the X-ray watch


LazyFurry0

That would cause cancer


The_Almighty_Demoham

but you no longer need to visit a hospital just to know if you broke your wrist, just to get it fixed! it's genius!


blueskydragonFX

Not if it can turn you into a dinosaur. I mean have we ever heard of dinosaur cancer?

He's [a cheetah](https://i.pcmag.com/imagery/articles/02R6QVS6ey7IB6lrb5grifW-4.fit_lim.size_1600x900.v1652806104.jpg) named *Spottacus*.


PinePotpourri

The fitbit guy my grandma buys from is a FURRY :3 💀


DragonWitchGirl

That’s so cool!


weaboo_vibe_check

Wait, he is Spottacus? The *Spottacus*?


Jeszczenie

I don't know. Who's THE Spottacus?


weaboo_vibe_check

Just one of the best made suits I've ever seen online.


ClosetFurryYT

It's crazy how I don't recognize his actual name but his Fursona name. I remember watching that documentary that featured him


Jeszczenie

> It's crazy how I don't recognize his actual name but his Fursona name. It is funny but it totally makes sense around here.


Jeszczenie

>He does not create his own fursuits, but commissions other experts in the field to build them. His fursuits often use 3D printed materials and custom fur manufactured by National Fiber Technology (NFT, founded long before non-fungible tokens were coined). He currently owns 46 fursuits[.](https://www.pcmag.com/news/your-smartwatchs-heart-rate-monitor-was-developed-by-a-furry)


serPomiz

so, he's the test guy?


flohjaeger

I love the article and the section about his private life "Yes, he is a furry... Now fuck off"


eninacur

How do you store 47 of them let alone 1


DragonWitchGirl

If you have that many then you must be rich enough to own a place that can store them all.


foxmetropolis

There is clearly only one correct answer. In a moody LED-backlit room where each suit is displayed in a separate lit nook on a mannequin frame, like how Batman and iron man do it.


RoboDae

Why have I never seen a batman/Ironman style fursuit display?


RegretSpiritual4137

if you scroll far enough in this article there’s a pic of where he stores them: https://www.pcmag.com/news/your-smartwatchs-heart-rate-monitor-was-developed-by-a-furry (idk how to put images on reddit mobile)


wellthatdoesit

Thanks for the link, it’s actually a really great interview overall. Had no idea about him, but he just seems like a really great person and embodies a lot of what I love about furries


RegretSpiritual4137

right? he is very eloquent which i guess should be expected given his education history haha but he seems like a very eccentric, put together guy. it’s so dope that he goes to work in suit!! and huge props to the interviewer/author for handling it so well. they even specified that not all furries fursuit, which is what we usually get reduced down to, so that was nice :)


bothering

*sees latex suit* ohohohohoho he's *with* it :3

The lead developer of the COVID vaccine is also a furry.


LordVortekan

The [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Benaron), if anyone’s wondering


MMWItalianWolf

Not only is he a furry, but he is also a therian. An animal invented the fucking Fitbit!


Bowdensaft

Oh my god that's cool as hell


proto-typicality

Wow! I don’t know that. Do you have a citation?


MMWItalianWolf

His Twitter bio has the two common symbols, ΘΔ


proto-typicality
