| May 1 at 21:04 | comment | added | Anonymous | As in, say on the off chance that I get famous, some idiot from PETA reads my book and claims I'm promoting animal cruelty or some such thing. If seals can indeed eat sushi, then I can just show proof of that. But if they can't, then in the book I'm going to make a point of seals being able to in that world, such as the rice thing I mentioned above, or perhaps something better. | |
| May 1 at 20:16 | comment | added | Anonymous | @sphennings I would have to change seal behavior and diets to fit sushi being edible if the answer was no, but if the answer was yes I wouldn't have to do that. | |
| May 1 at 14:27 | comment | added | David R | Even if someone fed sushi containing cooked rice to seals, there is a big step between that and a seal making the connection that the plants growing in fields is eatable. Rice in fields has stalks, hulls, and bran which are removed in the harvesting and milling process. knowledgebank.irri.org/step-by-step-production/postharvest/… | |
| May 1 at 2:46 | comment | added | sphennings | If you are going to have seals in your world be capable of eating sushi then why are you asking us what is possible in the real world? In your world you have already decided that the answer to the question is yes. | |

Cheers. | |
| Apr 30 at 16:01 | comment | added | JBH | Hello @Anonymous. Let me help clarify the problem. Taken as written, this isn't a worldbuilding question. It's a Biology question. We have a real world question policy that I once supported, but it's been abused for so long that I no longer support it. Had you explained that you would need to modify the nature of seals in your world based on the answer to the question, that would have been sufficient to stop the debate because it's no longer "just" a real world question. Note, though... | |
| Apr 30 at 15:41 | comment | added | Monty Wild♦ | @sphennings Sometimes the world being built is changed by the answer, rather than having been changed in the question. Just because you can't see what's changing in the question doesn't mean that changes aren't being contemplated by the OP. | |

| Apr 30 at 15:22 | comment | added | Anonymous | I was asking because, If seals can't eat sushi in real life, I was going to make some changes to the behaviour of the seals in my world so they can eat rice and such. | |
| Apr 30 at 15:07 | comment | added | sphennings | @MontyWild How does the OP's world change based on this question? From what I see OP is asking about what will happen in an already built world that looks exactly like our own. Writing a disclaimer, suggesting the reader doesn't do something in real life, does not change any aspect of the world. | |
