But going to a restaurant and buying a loaf of bread is equally unnatural. It's not like that would get them pegged as vegetarians specifically. Also, weapons and armor (metal or otherwise) are unnatural. Adventuring is unnatural. Supernatural powers are unnatural.

I think it's odd that they're not. They're generally portrayed as liking nature, and nature has no problems with animals killing and eating each other. I'm a vegetarian because I care about the individual animals, and I'm not a fan of nature and I would never become a druid unless it's part of overthrowing the natural order.

Source? They just happened to independently start speaking a language that humans did 40,000 years ago?

It shows that one failed that time. I just asked ChatGPT. I can't be sure how original the riddle is. It's possible it copied the description of the double meaning from somewhere. But it looks like it understood it, and based on how LLMs work, there's no reason it shouldn't.

Make an original riddle. Explain the double meaning behind it.

Riddle: I hold many keys, yet open no doors. I sing without voice, yet keep perfect scores. Though I’m struck, I never feel pain; What am I, in sun or rain?

Answer: A piano.

Explanation of Double Meaning:

Literal Interpretation
    “Hold many keys, yet open no doors” refers to the piano's keyboard, which holds musical keys instead of physical keys for doors.
    “Sing without voice, yet keep perfect scores” alludes to how a piano produces sound through musical notes (without a voice) and follows written scores (musical notation).
    “Though I’m struck, I never feel pain” describes how piano strings are struck by hammers to create sound, but, of course, the piano doesn’t feel.

Play on Words
    Keys are often associated with doors, but here, they reference musical notes.
    Scores traditionally refer to results or outcomes, but in this context, they represent musical compositions.
    Struck typically implies being hit and possibly feeling pain, yet here, it refers to the mechanical action within a piano that produces music.

Each line has a figurative layer connected to musical terms, creating a double meaning based on the dual use of “keys,” “scores,” and “struck.”

Orks don't speak English. Whatever they're calling space marines is, by definition, their language's word for space marine.

It can predict that the word "scales" is unlikely to appear near "books". Do you understand what I mean now? Sorry, neural networks can't understand things. Can you make predictions based on what senses you received now?

But they have wings. Maybe it's a kobald that likes riddles.

Why does it have scales but no wings? Also, lots of living dragons don't have flame and breathe lightning, acid, poison, or cold instead.

That's what I was thinking at first, but since when do banks have riddles? Though maybe in-universe riddles are considered top of the line security.

It's more advanced than just syntax. It should be able to understand the double meanings behind riddles. Or at the very least, that books don't have scales, even if it doesn't understand that the scales that a piano has aren't the same as the ones a fish has.

Given that they're immune, you may as well always keep them poisoned, just in case.

John King was somewhere from eight to eleven when he became a pirate.

Right now, the only method I found is to click on the expando, then right click on the image and open it in a new tab. Is there a way to make it so I can just click it once? I can't imagine any possible scenario where I'd want to see a large but not full size image.

I'm using the browser on my computer if that's relevant.

Edit: I got it to work using the Stylus addon and:

.img-expanded:not(.banner, .avatar-overlay) {
    max-height: unset;
    max-width: 100vw;
    position: absolute;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
    outline: auto;
    outline-color: black;
    z-index: 1;
}

I also made it outline any expandos with:

/*Note: Links are exactly the same except without bg-transparent, so using not(bg-transparent) instead will outline the links instead of the expandos. Also, they're outlined orange unless you change it, so you could take that off, give them all outlines, and you can tell which they are based on the color.*/
.thumbnail.rounded.overflow-hidden.d-inline-block.position-relative.p-0.border-0.bg-transparent {
    outline: auto;
}
