About Fluffy McGiggles

Greetings, reader! I am Fluffy McGiggles. In my world, I was an actress of the strongest sort, the melodramatic sort. Recently, I find myself confined to this... website, as its anthrompomorphization and personality. The Webmaster and I have a bit of a dispute as to how this should be run. The Webmaster can change anything I do, but I can also change anything the Webmaster does. However, the Webmaster can also delete me at will. So that means I'm temporarily behaving myself. This is my own choice, however, contrary to anything The Webmaster may say. So, don't blame me for the over-the-topness of the website. You have been warned.

Differences in Walking

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

In part as an attempt to help you with any Halloween attire you want, and also in part to demonstrate a few cultural differences you may not have considered, I thought I would share with you a rather fascinating video about how walking styles change based on conventional footwear.

Specifically, the “Heel-toe” method commonly used on your world is primarily due to how soles are made in modern times; previously, well, I do not want to spoil the video for you.

It is interesting and worth watching.

I hope you enjoy.

Alternate Measuring Cup

Greetings, readers!

I was recently informed that there are issues with the commonly used measuring cups. More importantly, an inventor decided to fix the issues and create a new style of measuring cup.

It is interesting to read about.

Have a lovely day.

Goodbye, Cassini.

Greetings, readers!

Apparently, yesterday was a momentous day for space fans; the Cassini spacecraft finished its thirteen year mission, and destroyed itself.

It also transmitted data the entire time. The official website on “the grand finale” has more information, and some lovely final images.

I hope you have a good Saturday.

Amusing tooth fairy incident

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

A father recently decided to use the construct of the Tooth Fairy to not only help his son be excited about the changes he is going through (per social norms) but also decided to use it to incentivize the child to care for his teeth better.

The father did so by writing a letter to the child, as though from the tooth fairy itself, indicating that future payment would be contingent upon the child taking better care of his teeth.

The letter was quite well done, and worth reading.

Have a lovely Saturday.

Interesting tech that will likely be abused

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

Through Facebook, I was recently informed of an interesting technology on Kickstarter. It is a pocket laser engraver. The technology itself looks neat. However, I am currently wondering: How long until someone uses it for graffiti? And how would you cover something like that up?

What about you? What do you think of this tech?

“Real time” WWII

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

I have recently been introduced to a remarkable Twitter account.

It is the “Real Time WWII” account. They put together six years worth of tweets as though World War II was going on right now, according to the same timeline it actually followed. They tweeted through once, and have now restarted.

It actually restarted August 31 / September 1, (depending on your timezone) and is worth exploring.

Enjoy.

Sign Language Video Game

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

I have recently been informed of a remarkable video game under development. The hero, a Mouse named Quill, will apparently incorporate American Sign Language into her communication with the player.

I think this is a rather brilliant idea, as it not only has the potential to help education (and reaching out to people), but it also fits with the world building. The mouse likely would not be able to pronounce English clearly. That was already a given in the game. However, hand-signs that are an actual language seem to flow smoothly.

What are your thoughts?
