Yeah I know, but how often do you look at a lion, tiger, jaguar, or any other giant feline, and think "I bet they like playing with yarn and drinking milk"?

Then they shouldn't be given the option.

I should hope so.

No kidding, that should be grounds for a lawsuit.

There's also posting absurd requirements for the sole purpose of not getting swamped with applications.
Which while understandable, I find potentially damaging, as someone who could be a perfect fit might not even apply because they don't meet those standards.
Now obviously don't go applying for jobs that aren't in your field, they're not going to hire a line cook if they need a welder, but you have three years when they ask for five? Go ahead, the worst thing that can happen is they don't call you for an interview.

Correction: Don't buy cute cheap lamps.

That's why I said "Depending on the recipe".

I don't think they're necessarily misunderstanding it, just subconsciously assuming the reason why it's being asked.

How does your butter come, because I've seen European butter still come in a pre-measured amount with markings that you just need to follow in order to measure out the amount you need.

The thing with the butter though. Almost always it's pre-divided into 1/2 cup amounts, and there will be markings on the wrapper to tell you where to cut for a specific measurement of butter if you need less than the whole stick.

Not to mention that the gorgeous dogs could have been trained not to run after squirrels.
