(Either I missed reading this on my AMA, or I forgot to do it; my bad!
Although assuming that I forget again, I'll try to leave the next question I miss to someone else...)(Edit: I wasn't on when you asked me to do that, apparently, so....)
<To Doge, Qnaria, Paul, Sual, Skip, Twi, and you> If you suddenly became an anthropromorphic fox somehow, what would be the first thing you can't do as your current species?
First thing: check out my tail and fur. See if it feels weird to have, then see if my tail and fur are fluffy and live my life normally for a day or two to see how much my tail interferes.
Second thing (honorable mention): Check out my claws if I have any, see how sharp they are and try climbing a tree with them, and hopefully not get stuck like a cat.
HINGLE GRINGLE I wouldn’t exactly know
I have no truly real emotions no internal organs almost no punctuation etc
It would probably be overwhelming to suddenly have all that stuff especially since I’m no longer a “creature” of immense power who has lived since the universe started and will live until it ends
It would be like the episode of Star Trek where Spock gets accidentally turned fully human instead of half Vulcan
(This show is so popular it got an emoji )
On the minus side, I can’t grow or shrink things anymore. On the plus side, I have claws now and can go out in public without looking like a super rare creature that will either be kidnapped by rich people for their collection of rare creatures or kidnapped by scientists to be tested on. I’d try using my claws and finally eat an orange, since citrus acid is toxic to me.
First thing I’d have to do is avoid Sual. For actual things, try seeing if spinning my tail will reflect things like in one of those Mario games.
There are so many things to enjoy I can’t name just one.
Having warm blood means I can go to a cold place without freezing alive! That’s a lot cooler than you think it sounds. I hated being preserved in an ice block for an entire winter after I went out of the town as it got chilly and didn’t tell anyone.
It would definitely stink to not be able to breathe underwater or regenerate limbs anymore, but I’d be fine with losing those, especially since I didn’t use them every day.
I’d try to see if any of the fox characters in the worlds I visit are more open to me, afterward I’d just play with my tail and claws.

<To all of you, except for Ruby's Fridge and Beans> What would be(or is) the best and worst thing be about being a fox?
Best part for me: having a tail and claws. A tail sounds fun and cute and could potentially be used as an extra arm. Claws are literally built-in weapons and climbing gear.
Worst part for me: Probably the colorblindness. Not being able to eat foods like chocolate sucks, but I can live with that. The worst part would be the fact that I would be red-green colorblind, and would see stuff in pastel shades of yellow and blue.
How the am I supposed to do art when Doge, Qnaria, Xinon, etc. are all a pale yellow like Florga?
Best part for others: I’m huge and fluffy, and probably instinctively want to nuzzle people.
Worst part for others: I don’t know what a fox smells like, but it probably isn’t any better than a person, especially when wet.
Best part: I actually have motions for once
Worst part: I can’t do all the funny stuff I normally do like live forever and recite memes *Face suddenly turns into a video of Mr. Beast*
Best part: I can actually touch things without having to focus on them, and can do certain things only organic creatures can do.
Worst part: I can’t occasionally go through things when I actually want to, and I can’t shapeshift.
My answers are mostly the same as Florga’s.
Best part: I can go in public without literally being a rare creature that could fetch a price tag of at least a billion Earth dollars. If that sounds like a lot, just remember my planet got destroyed and I’m one of 33 members of my species still alive.
Worst part: I can’t grow or shrink things anymore, which isn’t super bad, but it’s still a good ability.
Best part: I’d have canine features and would probably would stop instinctively digging in people’s trashes.
Worst part: I’d be colorblind and I can’t eat rotten food anymore.
Best part: having fur would probably negate the need to put on winter clothes every day during the winter.
Worst part: probably either the colorblindness or Sual.
Best part: everything.
Worst part: The colorblindness and stricter diet.
I don’t know. I’ve never considered what life would be like as a different creature.
Only good part I can think of that I don’t already have would be that David would like me better.
The bad part would probably be the fact that chocolate is now deadly instead of just giving be intestinal problems.
Best part of being a fox? It’s hard to explain what it’s like to be a fox to someone who isn’t a fox. I guess it’s cool to have a tail and claws, which you probably don’t, but I envy you for being able to eat chocolate without getting really sick and seeing the world in its true, vibrant colors.
I don’t know what the best part would be, especially since foxes and wolves are actually both canines and are similar genetically. Foxes are definitely a lot cuter, but wolves are probably better at fighting.
Having warm blood would be great! I spend a lot more time as an ice sculpture than you think I do. Every winter, I need constant heat from something like a fire or I become a Skipsicle.
The bad part would be not being able to breathe underwater or regenerate limbs, but I can live with that.
I guess the best parts about being a fox are my tail, claws, instincts, stuff like that.
Worst part is definitely the fact that some foods poison me. It’s not the colorblindness, I should probably mention that foxes in my world evolved to see colors almost as much as humans can.

<To Doge only> Should I be concerned about this...?
