Can someone help me out a little? What is non-fiction, really

>those foxes
THICC

Non-fiction doesn't exist.

Even what you percieve as reality is fictionalized by your imperfect senses and faulty mortal reasoning.

No man has ever written a work of non-fiction.

non-fiction is a myth.

Oh fuck off, that's not profound

>>8154710
Ineluctable modality of the shitpost.

>>8154718
Profound?

I don't care.

Just instigating conversation that highlights the limitations of language and cognizance.

Talk is cheap, really.

you're funny

>>8154710
I agree.

do you have more pictures of cute foxes first?

>>8154731
That's not a conversation that leads anywhere productive or interesting.

>>8154731
>cognizance
Ah, pulling from the bag of pseud's select. What other goodies you have in there?

>>8154760
Probably for the best, were this conversation "productive" would it produce aught of help, or hindrance you suppose?

Uncertainty is all, and dire and terrible thing, so much so that we'd rather lie to ourselves than admit it often.

"Interesting" is subjective, I find the precise limits of human language and understanding deeply interesting.

Our language for instance is full of glitches and errors that infrequently surface in conversation, and even educated men fall prey to the potholes of reasoning that seem to emerge from our use of language.

okay OP you drive a hard bargain but i can give you this nonfiction on meiji japan

non-fiction is a category of books that re-tell events that actually happened, in the form of a narrative. They differ from from fiction, because the events are based on things that happened in reality, and the characters are people that exist or actually existed. Non-fiction differs from something like history text-books,, because the events are told in the form of a narrative, story-telling takes precedent over facts (although some would argue that many history books do the same) and there really is no impetus to provide footnotes or anything like that.

Autobiographies and biographies are generally the most common types of non-fiction books.

Some non-fictoin books I liked

In Cold Blood - Truman Capote
King Leopold's Ghost - Adam Hothsechild
Late Night Wars - Bill Carter
The Bible - God

Why are those foxes so fat? Pet culture is awful.

okay OP i'll give you one more harder nonfiction article, but only because it tells you how to make cute foxes in case you don't have enough to take pictures of them

>Pets
>Literally a pack of foxes clearly outside

>>8155048
People treat them as pets and feed them hence the excess fat which they couldn't get in the nature.

>>8155052
They're not pack animals either, they wouldn't group like that in nature. Those ones are clearly begging from the human, not out scavenging and opportunistically hunting like they would.

>>8154885
Those are some cheeky birds, friendo.
