    One of my favourite tragicomical video game achievements was in Firewatch:

    Adopted a turtle as a pet. The average lifespan of a box turtle is fifty years. It will outlive you.

    And this is why I will not get a pet. I’m by definition incapable of taking care of them because they might outlive me.
