You win the exclusive right to use the badger emoji ๐Ÿฆก in your SOTDs, and I will downvote anybody trying to break your monopoly.

Sweet, I love badgers! The animal, not the brush, I actually only use synthetics.

Synthetic++
I have about 5 synths, 5 badgers, and 5 boars. My synthetics get used the most by far.

I used to have a couple horse hairs, but I could never get them to work well for me.

What do I win??

Nothing, but I'm so proud of you.

Can't we do badges or trophies on Lemmy?

Lemmy doesn't have user flair (yet?), unfortunately.

A badger badge?

[โ€“] spj_hook 3 points 10 months ago

Thanks man, I couldnโ€™t have done it without you!
