Other players maining McCree: *are fast and accurate*
Me maining McCree:
Then I fired again. And then I missed. And then I fired. And then I fired, and I missed. I missed both times. and then I fired, and I missed. This went on for several hours. and then I fired. and then I missed. And then I was out of bullets. And then I got sad. I had a popsicle. And then I passed out in the snow. And then I woke up. and then I reloaded. And then I fired. And then I missed. I missed again. I fired. I hit something, but it wasn’t what I was going for, so I guess I missed. I passed out again. Had another popcicle. I had a dream that I was firing at something. I missed. Oh, so she can pick a snowball fight with ‘em. I threw up a snowball at ‘em. I missed. I packed another snowball into my gun. that’s my secret weapon. I missed. yeah, she’s really something. I threw a snowball at her. I missed. I passed out. I woke up with a popcicle stick in my mouth. don’t piss me off woman. I’ll take a swing you, I’ll miss though. I guarantee it. Then I’ll take another swing. And I’ll miss. Then I’ll have myself a popcicle. Would you care for a popcicle? Just don’t bring it into the sauna. I reached into the fridge for another popcicle. I missed. I got the cabbage. I put it back, but I missed. I dropped it on the floor. Long story short, I missed.
We’re all used to the common depiction of sabertoothed cats like the famous Smilodon. A fairly standard-looking feline face with protruding teeth, something like this:
It’s a look so ingrained in paleoart and pop culture that it’s even become visual shorthand for making cartoon creature designs look “prehistoric”.
Except… it might be completely wrong.
We’ve all been assuming that these saberteeth were basically tusks, like those we see in modern animals such as walruses and elephants. But it turns out that tusks have a very different chemical structure to normal teeth so they can withstand constant exposure to the environment – and Smilodon’s fangs don’t show any of those adaptations.
There’s a detailed explanation of this idea and the science behind it over at this blog post. It isn’t an academically published theory yet (although I’d love to see somebody do a proper study), but it’s still very plausible and interesting to think about.
The tl;dr version: it’s actually more likely that Smilodon covered its teeth with big jowly lips to protect them. Which means it probably looked like a feline version of a St. Bernard. Or… sort of like Chester Cheetah.

Linguistically, we use animal feces differently depending on the context. ‘Bullshit’ for fallacies or lies, ‘Horseshit’ for indignation, and 'Dogshit’ for poor quality.
