I like the idea of having a fish for a pet-mostly because of not having to scoop poop and change litter-but also because I like the idea of the fish thinking about me being God. It's really the closest we can get. You can feast, you can famine, you can cause floods....well, maybe not the floods for fish. I can't part the water in the tank yet, but I can landscape it...
Or, seascape it. You are more of a "food capacitator" for a dog or a cat....but with the fish you can create their own world. You want some plastic plants and a hideout hole? You got it. You want to put enemies in the same tank. Bam! Was there ever a sim fishtank game? That sounds kinda fun...and you don't have to empty the tank every other week. Or maybe God wants you to live in a polluted world this week so we're gonna skip it for a few weeks. That's probably what God is doing to us right now, skipping a few weeks. except a few weeks might be centuries, remember the dark ages? We are just Gods' fish.
