predators are more conflict-averse than prey - a herbivore can get into a territorial dispute, get gored by a horn, and spend the next while weakened but still easily able to regain its strength from grass and tubers or whatever. a hunter that gets scratched by prey it still manages to kill might not be able to get a kill afterwards, and slowly starve. an ambush predator will back down if you stare at it, but a plant-eater will try to kick you to death.

gotta fight them inner demons, baby

this is sort of cousins with my favorite practice, which is replying "yeah, that's what i've been saying" after any weird sound or audible bodily function.

roommate's cat: mrorow?

me: yeah, that's what i've been saying!

I enjoy adding "as one does" in parentheses after describing a strange thing to do (as one does).

i hope you dont wanna come down any time soon haha
