This is one of the genera I created for the world i name "Chimerapocene", a post-apocalyptic earth, where the apocalypse wasn't an explosion but a whimper, giving humanity the chance to create the next intelligent race to take their place. The Cani Aureus was the first genera that i created a deeper history for when i started creating this world and i'm really curious about what you guys have to tell or ask me about it. Critique is welcome but I am a stubborn person so it might take a while for advice to be implemented, but i take every critique to heart.
Cani Aureus
A Chimera that is based on the DNA of Jackals. They reach heights between 120cm and 160cm, but due to little diversity in height by far most Aureus are around the 150cm mark. Shorter and taller Aureus are very rare. And the only recorded Aureus who came near the height of 170cm was an aware hive-minded Aureus and they are expected to be larger than their kin.
Cani Aureus are composed as thinkers, philosophers and orators. Where Raffa depend on facts that they gather and Tus depend on the knowledge they share, aureus depend on their own spiritual teachings they discover. Many sentients make the mistake of seeing aureus as benevolent, but they are more akin to tricksters. Though rarely out of malice and more often as a teaching moment. Whenever they meet another aureus they can spend days talking about ways of looking at life and living life, they rarely find facts or science interesting though. They prefer to talk about spiritual matters.
Aureus are loners but social with a strong sense of community, they live as hermits but welcome every sentient that visits them. They usually sleep in small shelters by the fire, but never stay in one place for longer than a few days, although females stay on their territory. Males are always travelling and donβt have territory. Females are sedentary during the first two years of their pups lives. After that time they are considered strong enough to be strong enough for the nomadic life. The female raises the pups by herself. The pups are extremely playful, although they rarely play together. They are almost always born as twins.
Aureus live primarily off of meat that they hunt, and they are capable of digesting rotting meat. Although most wonβt until the circumstances make it a necessity. They lead very ascetic lives in the most inhospitable regions. Although they donβt mind towns and farmsteads, they hate cities. They will visit them, but nev

Egyptian Name: Iwiw, Inpw, Oau, or Wenesh ("Howler" or "Wailer")
At first, the Egyptian Jackal (Canis aureus lupaster) was thought to be a variant of the Golden Jackal. But new genetic research finds that the Egyptian Jackal is not a jackal at all, but instead Africaβs only member of the wolf family. Now the animal is properly classified as the African Wolf (Canis lupus lupaster.) Since both canines are so similar, however, proper identification of which one using ancient Egyptian artwork and writings is virtually impossible. For my own personal ease, I will refer to the African Wolf as βjackalβ and not differentiate between the African Wolf and the Golden Jackal.
For the ancient Egyptians, the jackal was deeply steeped in mythology, and was held to be a sacred creature. Since jackals often haunted the edges of the desert, especially near the cemeteries where the dead were buried, they were thought to be guardians of the dead. Reports of jackals prowling about tombs are commonly mentioned in literature, and Petrie is quoted as saying "The guides to the Egyptian tombs are the jackal trails." In fact, it is thought that the ancient Egyptians first began the practice of making elaborate graves and tombs to protect the dead from desecration by jackals.
The jackal was associated with the funerary god Anubis, and to a lesser extent the gods Wepwawet and Duamutef. The jackal-god Anubis was one of the most important of the Egyptian deities, the one who embalmed the bodies of the dead and led them to the afterlife. Anubis was the guardian of the body of the god Osiris, and jackals guided the goddess Isis in her search for her husband's body, and protected her from wild beasts.
Jackals were thought to wander dark and lonely places, helping souls that had lost their way to the land of the dead. Jackals were believed to lead the d

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Theyβre on standbi
BamBOO!
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
