    Nice try, but the “auto” in autopsy refers to working on the body of the same species as oneself, when a human inspects a dead human.

    EDIT: this is actually incorrect, etymologically it means witnessing something with the own eyes, from the Greek language, see answer below.

    When working on a different species, like an animal, it’s called a necropsy.













  • They’re also in Germany now, as mandated in every EU country, but I don’t have to deal with them because there’s also a heavy culture of reusable glass bottles (Mehrweg Flaschen) distributed in standard reusable crates. Everything has a deposit so you always bring them back when refilling.

    I don’t mind them either but get yourself cheap cable pliers and cut the tether when you need to, or pour into a cup instead of drinking from the bottle.
