- Any simple animal can pull on things. Using a mechanism devised by the mind of man celebrates our humanity. - crash davis 😺 Dec 3, 14:14
- plus, the mechanism that auto-opens the door breaks down more often, so just expend a little f'ing energy and save it for the people it was intended - prayformojo 🐵 Dec 3, 14:09
