I&#39;ve dug into the database to look at DMs once (?) in five years, and that was at the specific user&#39;s request. I&#39;ve also been inside the surveillance capitalism sausage factory: corporate snooping is both far more invasive than most people realize, and also *ridiculously* lossy/noisy.

Bulls, horse-men, and other horsey creatures are generally referred to as n-taurs, and can have any number of legs. Most cattle are 4-taurs; Chiron is a 6-taur.
