We don't let adults have sex with minors.
All the same reasons apply to sex with animals.

It's not so much about harm as it is about consent.

It is never about consent. Why?

Animal breeding footage is legal. You can even see it on youtube and it has millions of views. What does that have to do with anything? Most of the footage shows (let's use horse sex in this case) a restrained female (for her own good, yeah!) being bred by a stallion. You cannot be sure she consents. She has her hind legs tied, her tail moved to the side, she can't protest at all. That is to protect the stallion from any harm and also to make it easier because she can't be moody, she's just here to get fucked.

Artificial insemination footage is also legal. A lot of zoophiles can get off to that, and it's still legal porn, despite the females not being able to agree whether they want to be probed and inseminated.

Where do you draw the line on what is natural?
I sure as hell am not going to believe crows used to drop walnuts on dirt. Yet, through their 'smarts' they have figured out that dropping walnuts on a street or hard pavement will often break it open. If that is natural behaviour, then whatever we humans come up with is also natural, because we are part of nature.
 
Fucking a goat is of course the "she did not consent!" argument, but what argument can you possibly have to say the dog does not want to fuck you when it actively humps anything it can grab?

Crossing your eyes: Gives headaches. People find it hard to do.

Recently, I've rediscovered the "cross your eyes" double pictures and I wonder: does it really give any kind of 3D impression, or is it just all imagination? I can do quite well at crossing my eyes and getting a sharp image out of two identical side-by-side, and it did feel kind of 3D-ish, but logic tells me if they are both identical, I shouldn't see any 3D at all.

How about combining a hovercraft with a trolleybus? It stays above ground so no need for good roads, but it is attached to a rigid line going above the street, so turning is made easier, and the problem with stopping is solved.

Of course, this works only on city commutes, but it seems an interesting idea.

Where did this obsession with Widescreen come from anyways?

Producing TVs and computer screens using the same materials is easier than having one line do 16:9 format and the other 16:10

Your reading speed will increase with the wider format, and that trend continues until a single line of text takes up a whopping 80-90 degrees of your horizontal field of vision.

Nope. Unless the text is very neatly organised, more than 5 lines of text with little spacing between them get confusing very fast. Reading a 'block of text' that occupies the entire screen horizontally is quite hard for me since I often need to recheck on which line of the text I am.
