I know this is probably a bit of a stupid question, but I'm actually mildly curious. And you know what they say: 'curiosity killed the cat'.

So, my birthday is tomorrow and I'm turning eighteen, finally. . . To be honest, birthdays aren't as big of a deal, which is why I want to know if there's anything special that people do for their eighteenth? Or just birthdays in general.

I'm interested in how other worlds celebrate, after all.

Thanks in advance!

why is the cat dead?

[dereban]

[ Oh no.... ]

It's a form of speech. It's not literally dead.

[resurging]

oh, hm. but why say it like that? why is there a cat in the first place?

[dereban]

I honestly couldn't tell you the answer.

It's not as if I know where it came from.

[resurging]

so the cat is just... there? the cat is curious and it got murdered?

why murder the cat at all!

[dereban]

I don't think it actually got murdered, really.

Again, it's just a turn of phrase. . .?

[resurging]

but why say it like that? why is that the turn the phrase takes?

[dereban]

Because it's common.

I don't know anything more than that.
