·What're the thoughts about changing a person's avatar?
Yes, it is allowed but is it frowned upon or discouraged?
Some people previously wrote that they associate a person with their avatar and hence a change disconnects them from their record. Perhaps, but to me if the user name hasn't changed this is not a strong argument against changing avatars. I get that we become accustomed to certain avatars but I can't imagine being flummoxed if someone changes it. It's not like we are dogs that think our owner disappeared when he went into the other room. Chaos if everyone does it? Maybe but hard to see it.
Someone wrote that someone might change an avatar to make it seem like they have a wider presence in order to sell a watch. Maybe, but that seems pretty Inspector Clouseau.
I changed mine a couple of times early on. Hadn't put much thought in it. Now I am bored with it again. When I previously changed it all the previous posts changed too so it didn't seem to impact the history.
I am a fan of decorum and do not wish to ruffle any feathers. Any thoughts one way or the other. As always, no response is considerd "who the F cares, just stop talking "
Necro time!
If I do change mine, it's something I will tend to change across social media platforms to remain consistent.

·I have about a half dozen avatars I use. I usually theme them to the forum.
Some people like to change them with their mood. I take that to be more of a social media thing, where kids are attempting to attract attention.
Avatars and Icons are actually religous terms. They are the images gods inhabit. As users we are equating our selves with gods (well minor gods, demigods, angels and daemons.) Why many religions do not allow for the representation of people in photographs. Idol and Icon is the same word separated over thousands of years of evolution. So is Ceasar, Kaiser, and Tsar.
Anyway I dislike it when others change their avatar. Make it feel like one is talking with a different person.

·None are mine sorry
I do have a rather lot of crocodile photos taken on film though and still take them often.
I’m more of a landscape / Street.
Not that I have street like most.

·Are they edible?
One time I had the crab on my lap in the box, for the drive home from the fish market, in the box and it was shuffling round. With all the environmental issues, one does not get live crab like they used to.
Always best to know your food before eating.

"the quality of its meat means that the coconut crab is extensively hunted and is very rare on islands with a human population.[56] The coconut crab is eaten as a delicacy - and regarded as an aphrodisiac."
"While the coconut crab itself is not innately poisonous, it may become so depending on its diet, and cases of coconut crab poisoning have occurred.[56][60] For instance, consumption of the sea mango (Cerbera manghas) by the coconut crab may make the coconut crab toxic due to the presence of cardiac cardenolides."
Well, it's 50/50 gamble,

Then it really is an aphrodisiac.
